A new survival game, V Rising, is announced here with V Rising placing us in the role of a vampire just trying to survive along the way
It is time to mix up the survival game genre a little bit with the announcement and reveal for V Rising that we have here today. Usually, we are playing a basic survivor in a world that is overrun with some other kind of horror and we need to survive all of that. In this one, Stunlock Studios is flipping it a bit as we are playing a newer created vampire in the world of V Rising and we will be surviving all of the humans out there trying to bring us all down. All while we are trying to raise ourselves up to the level of power and fear that many give to Dracula over the many years that he has been rolling around the world drinking blood and slaying everything in the way of all of that.
There is not much of the gameplay for V Rising in the following reveal trailer we have here with this announcement, but the description does show that we will need to build our own castle, converting humans, and explore everything that is out there. We will be able to do this by ourselves or with a whole clan of friends out there in the mix too. All of the usual things we can expect in a survival game but with V Rising making us the bigger villain and monsters out there to take on the world. I think that is what has caught my eye on this overall as it deviates from the norm and offers up some kind of changes out there. We will have to see how that goes and wait for that beta to drop on us in the coming months too.
V Rising — Reveal
Stunlock Studios today revealed their new project, an open-world vampire survival game, V Rising, coming to PC on Steam with the Beta planned later this year. Awaken as a weakened vampire from centuries of slumber and survive a world full of peril. As a vampire, you need to hunt for blood in nearby settlements to regain your strength and quench your thirst. Build and customize your castle, invite friends to join your clan, and convert humans to vampires to grow your empire. Engage in real-time combat and compete for world domination with PvP and PvE challenges. Will you become the next Dracula?
