I wrote about it V rising yesterday, and noted that it had sold over 500,000 copies. Well, it’s sold a lot more now, having hit the million mark less than a week after it was released.
The milestone was announced today by developers Stunlock:
That’s a fun fact, but it’s not the only one V rising news today. In matters that matter more for anyone who wants to play the game alone (or even with friends, but locally), The vampire survival adventure now includes an offline mode.
Previously, the game was only available online, and while it has multiplayer elements (both versus and co-op), it’s absolutely fun to play in single player as well. However, these solo players still had to play online, which wasn’t always possible (or even just something you wanted to do) depending on the situation.

So as part of the game 0.5.41448 Solo players no longer have to do this and can now start the game in LAN mode instead. As the name suggests, while you can create an offline world to explore, you can still play with friends if they are part of the same network:
We have now enabled LAN mode, Players can play V Rising without an internet connection. Players can enable this mode on the host game screen and when starting the server. LAN mode can be played alone or with friends on the same local network. Please remember that we will be working on improving LAN mode as we continue to develop V Rising during Early Access.
Also today added the ability for Steam Cloud to save a game’s server history:
Steam Cloud can now save V Rising server history. Auto save is enabled by default. To disable it, please go to Steam Properties for V Rising. This fixes a “missing character” issue that could occur when joining a server from another PC.
