V Rising Hits Sales Record, Thriving in Vampire Genre

V Rising: 5 Million Copies Sold, Major 2025 Update Announced!

The vampire survival game, V Rising, has officially surpassed five million units sold, a monumental achievement celebrated by developer Stunlock Studios. This milestone fuels their commitment to expanding the game with a significant 2025 update promising to reshape the player experience.

Launched in early access in 2022 and fully released in 2024, V Rising has captivated players with its engaging combat, immersive exploration, and robust base-building mechanics. Its June 2024 PS5 release further broadened its reach, solidifying its position as a leading vampire survival title. Despite minor post-launch adjustments, the game's positive reception is clearly reflected in its impressive sales figures.

Stunlock Studios CEO, Rickard Frisegard, emphasized that the five million sales milestone represents more than just a number; it's a testament to the thriving community built around V Rising. This success, he stated, empowers the team to push creative boundaries and deliver even more enriching content.

The upcoming 2025 update will introduce a wealth of new features, including:

• A New Faction: Adding depth and strategic complexity to the game's world.
• Enhanced PvP: Introducing new arena-based PvP options and duels, minimizing the risks associated with traditional PvP encounters (players won't lose blood type on death). A preview of these changes was shown in November's update 1.1.
• Advanced Crafting: A new crafting station will enable players to leverage item stat bonuses for crafting superior endgame equipment.
• Expanded World: A new region, situated north of Silverlight, will significantly increase the game's map size, introducing challenging new environments, bosses, and content.

With five million players and a major update on the horizon, V Rising is poised for continued success in 2025 and beyond.
