V Rising announced for PC, Beta coming soon

Stunlock Studios today revealed their new project, an open-world vampire survival game, V Rising.  It’s coming to PC on Steam with a Beta planned for later this year.  Stunlock Studios, the team behind indie-hit Battlerite, has revealed more details of their next game.

In V Rising players will 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.

Johan Ilves, Marketing Director at Stunlock Studios said:

“The team took inspiration from everything from classic gothic horror literature to Netflix’s Castlevania to create a world of conflict where vampires, humans, and mythical beasts co-exist in a delicate balance. We want to give players the full vampire experience of avoiding the burning sunlight, hunting for blood, and building their castle. All this while competing against other players and being tracked by vampire hunters. This is our most ambitious game yet, and we can’t wait to reveal more information in the foreseeable future.”
