Developed by Stunlock Studios, V Rising is an open-world vampire survival game that sold over 1 million copies in its first week of Steam Early Access. In its first month on the market, that number increased by another million.

The game features servers for up to 50 players, and after centuries of slumber, you’ll be a weak vampire. You will need to hunt to regain your stamina while also avoiding the sun. Once strong enough, you’ll start rebuilding your castle, turning humans into servants, and building your vampire empire.

Other mysterious dangers lurk in forests, open countryside and caves, all of which you will venture to find resources. You can loot villages, raid bandits, fight bosses, and explore the realm of supernatural beasts.
