V Rising's Sales Success Surges

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

The vampire survival game V Rising has achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing five million units sold. Developer Stunlock Studios celebrated this achievement and revealed ambitious plans for a substantial 2025 update, promising to significantly expand the game's content and features.

Launched in early access in 2022 and receiving its full release in 2024, V Rising has captivated players with its compelling open-world survival gameplay, engaging combat, exploration, and base-building mechanics. The game's successful launch on PlayStation 5 in June 2024 further solidified its popularity. This recent sales milestone, as reported by Gematsu, underscores the game's enduring appeal.

Stunlock Studios CEO Rickard Frisegard emphasized the dedication of his team and the strong community built around V Rising, viewing the five million sales figure as a testament to this shared success. This achievement, Frisegard stated, fuels the team's commitment to ongoing development and improvement.

The upcoming 2025 update is poised to "redefine" the V Rising experience. Key features include:

• A New Faction: Introducing a fresh faction with unique challenges and interactions.
• Enhanced PvP: Expanded PvP options, including dedicated duel arenas and safer PvP encounters (preventing blood type loss upon death, as previewed in Update 1.1).
• Advanced Crafting: A new crafting station enabling players to leverage stat bonuses from items for superior endgame gear.
• Expanded World: A new northern region beyond Silverlight, introducing a larger map with more challenging content and formidable bosses.
• Improved Progression: Refinements to the game's progression system for a more streamlined and engaging experience.

Stunlock Studios' celebration of its success is intertwined with the promise of exciting new content for V Rising in 2025, ensuring the game's continued growth and player engagement.
