Dev Update 26: The Ruins of MortiumApr 25, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40467553/bd21a5f64c91b7839eafd6fc900bb8aec6a5f9c2.png Greetings Vampires! Today, we plunge into the cold, dark depths of the Ruins of Mortium to explore our Vampire history. With the return of the king of kindred, it is perhaps time to remind ourselves of who we are and explore the new revelations of our people’s legend. We’re cracking open ancient tomes and telling old tales, then getting a taste of what is to come with the coming invasion that threatens the return of Dracula. Before we start, have you seen everything we have coming May 8th? If not, make sure you have a look. We’ve got everything coming in 1.0 in one place, just for you, our beloved night kin. Click to Explore V Rising 1.0 … and with that settled, let us enjoy a tale of clans, kings, curses, and utter calamity. This… Was Ours. Long ago, the realms of humankind stood proud in the light, a great civilization. In the long shadows of the mighty citadels of man, Vampires ruled through well-placed ploys and manipulations. That was an age of diplomacy, with many clans playing their courts against one another in games of blood and clever trickery. Families of Vampires fell in and out of power, trading places as easily as pieces on a chess board. Then came Dracula. Wielding new magic from a realm beyond, the Shadow Realm, the self-declared Immortal King brought with him an era of domination and tyranny. Dracula was cunning and played his games well, and his malevolence was unmatched. He demanded nothing less than total submission, something that did not sit well with the proud Vampire courts of the day. In the following brutal civil war among Vampire-kind, unwavering loyalty bred servitude. Thus, his own army emerged, a militant cult known as the Legion of Noctum. Many clans attempted to resist his rule. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40467553/2f4cd037fb380bd265a8c38c2198d950b9719e87.png Dracula, the Immortal King The Path of the Warlord Dracula was hungry for battle, and though still embroiled in conflict with the many factions of the night, he turned his attention to his next target. Confident in his power and filled with a burning need to inflict his will on those below him, the conquerer would march on anyone who would raise a hand against him. A violent campaign carved a path across Vardoran, Vampire against Vampire, with humans caught in the middle and driven to the brink of extinction. Resourceful as they are the humans tried everything they could to resist the Vampire onslaught. They developed Vampire hunting techniques, discovered various Vampire anathemas like silver and garlic, and even devised terrible biological experiments to find weapons against the nocturnal armies. Despite these small steps forward, nothing could stand against the might of the Legion of Noctum and Dracula’s powerful shadow magic. The Price of Pride In desperation, humankind called out for help and was answered with the powers of the Light. This new power was harnessed by those who gave themselves ...V Rising 1.0 will let you sip the blood of history's greatest vampireApr 20, 2024 - PCGamesNWith the V Rising 1.0 update just weeks away after two full years in early access, the vampire survival game is set to introduce the most iconic blood-sucking tyrant of them all into the fold.

We're nearing the full launch of V Rising and after a meteoric rise back during its initial early access phase, we're excited to see how far the game has come.

A contender for one of the best crafting games on PC, V Rising will be looking to recapture its fanbase with the official launch, but a recent price hike may turn some players away.

On rare occasions, games can be deemed playable on Steam Deck, even though they have some pretty basic issues that plague the experience. V Rising is unfortunately one such case, as there is no controller support, meaning navigating your castle grounds is sometimes more hassle than it's worth. While the Steam Deck is easily the best handheld gaming PC we've tested, it's not perfect, and V Rising is a game that exposes the game compatibility rating system. Read the rest of the story...

Players could hop on board at a better rate, creating a great deal for early adopters eager to dive into V Rising while also supporting its development. After two years in Early Access, five years of development, and significant progress in the game, the price will now be increased to reflect its full value. We’re happy to be approaching the full 1.0 version of V Rising this May 8th, 2024 with another massive update to complete the Vampire Experience! That means we’ll be increasing the price of V Rising on Steam to 34.99 USD/EUR. Right now is your last chance to get V Rising at its current price: 19.99 USD/EUR. It will be available for this price until April 5th, 2024, roughly one month before the full release date. If you or your friends have been waiting until the last moment to get their hands on V Rising, this is your heads-up to stop biding your time and enact your master plan!

With great enthusiasm, we bring you yet another developer update from the crypts of Stunlock Studios! Today, we’ll be delving into changes with the progression. From how spells are acquired to recipes and the quality of unlife that smooths the whole experience into a delightful, intuitive process, we aim to put a new twist on how you play, delivering much-desired changes in unexpected packages. Light some candles and put on some haunting tunes to set the mood. It’s time to settle in to read more about the future of our villainous aspirations. The Many Paths of Victory Hunting V Bloods in V Rising gives you some flexibility in how you carve your way through Vardoran. You can opt out of defeating certain bosses if their spells or unlocks don't interest you, and often, each ‘tier’ of roughly same-level bosses allows you to tackle them in whatever order you like. You can even strike out and face foes well outside your level range if you’re looking for a challenge. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40467553/2b95227b27d78c27006285cc8f84589d12450e95.png Underleveled? Nah, I’d win. On the other hand, if you want to rain down burning violet fire with Chaos Volley, you have to track down Lidia the Chaos Archer and drink her blood. Over the course of your journey through Vardoran, you’re pretty much guaranteed to get the exact same spells in pretty much the exact same order. The opportunity for variety exists, but you often have to go out of your way to get it. The first ultimate ability you unlock is always Merciless Charge from Quincey. There are many spells you don’t get until far later in the game that very rarely see any use due to only having access to them for a short period of your adventure. The intention is for you to get your hands on the more complex spells and ultimates later in the game, as their varied uses may be easier to grasp with the context of some solid hours of gameplay under your belt. The path to becoming the ultimate Vampire is one we crafted with volumes of twisted love, but we want to give you more. Let’s shake it up and add some deadly spice to your life. A little deviation for you deviants who enjoy multiple playthroughs. Flexibility for everyone, including those enjoying their first dive through the challenges of embracing their vampire nature. Introducing Spell Points! When you slay certain V Bloods and drain them of their power, in addition to any recipes imparted through their blood knowledge, they give you a fraction of magical energy. These Spell Points come in various flavors, divided by spell school and then further divided into three tiers. For instance, slaying Clive the Firestarter now awards the recipe for the Alchemy Table, Minor Explosive Boxes, and one Tier 1 Chaos Spell Point. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40467553/31839177db966b57f8ba7454eeac19ea3c725a07.png A Chaos Spell Point icon in the bottom left, looking mysterious.
