V Rising is an upcoming vampire survival RPG in which players must build up their powers and rise to the top as fearsome vampire overlords. V Rising can be played solo or players can make allies online as they explore the dark, open world. The gameplay includes magical and physical combat, hunting for blood, building, and decorating while avoiding deadly sunlight.
The game has had a successful early access period since May 2022, but Stunlock Studios is locked and loaded with a 1.0 update that includes more content, such as difficulty modes and more. The full launch of V Rising begins on May 8th for PC players, with a PS5 launch set to release at a later date. Here are all the release times by region for the V Rising 1.0 update.

Unfortunately, players enjoying the early access version must start a new save when the 1.0 update drops to get access to all the changes. However, it is worth it with all the content coming with the full launch. The most notable include difficulty modes and several new enemies. Players can even take on Dracula himself if they dare to challenge his throne. Some smaller changes include cosmetic skins, combat tweaks, and castle decor. There is DLC already available for the game as well listed below:
- Dracula's Relics Pack (Cosmetics)
- Founder's Pack: Eldest Bloodline (Cosmetics)
- Haunted Nights Castle Pack (Castle Decor)
