The bloody quest for greatness – What is V rising?

The short answer is: it’s a vampire survival game: the end. But the longer, more detailed answer is that it’s a twisted, gothic action role-playing game about vampires who rule the realm and face the challenges of battle, diplomacy, bloodlust, and daylight.

V Rising is an open world survival game where you can play as a vampire and wake up from their slumber after sleeping for centuries. Much of the world has changed, but your relentless pursuit of better life and rule remains even after all these years. You must hunt for blood to regain your strength after sleeping for so long, and turn people into loyal vampire soldiers. As you slowly build an army of blood-sucking, mindless servants, you’ll encounter various conflicts such as other players, supernatural beasts, and daylight itself – all of which are considerably dangerous.

Your goal depends on your desire. Do you want to live peacefully and build an impenetrable castle full of minions, or do you crave bloodlust and prefer war to diplomacy? You’re paving the way for yourself as a vampire overlord, but your actions have consequences. In a nearly limitless world, you can explore dense forests teeming with wildlife, plunder other players’ castles, or form allied pacts with friends to conquer Valdoran’s greatest threats. Nothing is out of reach in V Rising and you can customize your experience in this open world survival game as much as you want.

And that pretty much wraps it up for V Rising and everything you need to know about what to expect from the game when it launches this month. We’ll try to cover the upcoming title in news articles, guides and lists, so keep an eye out for more V Rising content on Prima Games.
