Stunlock Provides All The Important Details Players Need To Know Before V Rising's 1.0 Update Drops

Stunlock Studios is dropping V Rising’s 1.0 update on May 8, a little under a month from now. When they do, it’ll not only introduce improvements and new content to the vampire MMO, but take the game from Early Access status to fully launched. It’s kind of a big deal, so the dev team wants players to know what they’re in for on the magic day. What better way to tell everyone than with a blog post filled with details.

The post, now available on the V Rising site, offers players insight into the game’s world as well as improvements to the world. It teases new things for players to discover in the game’s various regions as well as areas like the Conflict Zone, where players can fight against Dracula’s Legion of Nocturn. It also reminds players that the humans carting cargo around the world are easy prey for food. Just in case you’re a little hungry.

The devs also highlight new ways for players to play the game, offering experienced players who want a challenge a “Brutal” mode. That makes three difficulty levels, including Relaxed and Standard.

Speaking of challenges, players can get a peek at the various enemies they’ll be facing ranging from Dracula himself to, well, Simon Belmont. A vampire can’t trust anyone these days.

The rest of the information provided covers game mechanics. Learn about the improved magic, new weapons and their upgrades, and even about your very own spider form.

Because who doesn’t want to be a giant hairy creature with eight legs?
