V Rising News

When we launched into Early Access back in May 2022, we made V Rising available for its current price with the understanding that we were delivering a game still in development. Players could hop on board at a better rate, creating a great deal for early adopters eager to dive into V Rising while also supporting its development.

After two years in Early Access, five years of development, and significant progress in the game, the price will now be increased to reflect its full value. We’re happy to be approaching the full 1.0 version of V Rising this May 8th, 2024 with another massive update to complete the Vampire Experience! That means we’ll be increasing the price of V Rising on Steam to 34.99 USD/EUR.

Right now is your last chance to get V Rising at its current price: 19.99 USD/EUR. It will be available for this price until April 5th, 2024, roughly one month before the full release date. If you or your friends have been waiting until the last moment to get their hands on V Rising, this is your heads-up to stop biding your time and enact your master plan! The pricing for DLCs will remain unchanged, and all existing DLCs will continue to be available on launch.

A toast to our nocturnal friends! THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us during our early access phase, granting us the opportunity to refine the game, work on new content, and finalize our vision.

V Rising confirmed it would reach 1.0 on May 8th just a couple of weeks ago, delivering changes to the survival action RPG's PvP and endgame.

There's an extra sweetener in 1.0 announced today, however: a Castlevania crossover where players can fight Simon Belmont and make off with his whip.

Stunlock Studios and Konami have joined forces to bring V Rising and Castlevania together via a content crossover titled Legacy of Castlevania.

Available in V Rising at release, Legacy of Castlevania finds famed vampire hunter Simon Belmont arriving in Vardoran to challenge all vampires. With his legendary whip and arsenal of holy weaponry, no night stalker will be safe from his crusade. But, if you defeat him, you will unlock the secrets of his iconic weapon, which in turn offers new combat abilities.

While Legacy of Castlevania, including Simon Belmont and the new whip weapon, will come as free content, a Legacy of Castlevania Premium Pack cosmetic DLC pack will be available for purchase. This pack allows you to construct castles inspired by Castlevania’s classic gothic aesthetic, enjoy character customization options inspired by classic Castlevania characters, and ride across the land on your new skeletal mount. You can even set the tone in your castle with two Castlevania themes reimagined by V Rising composer Aleksandria Migova.

All vampires will be able to face the Belmont heir to test their skills in battle, but you will also have additional opportunities to fully immerse yourself in the spirit of Castlevania. The Legacy of Castlevania Premium Pack cosmetic DLC will be available to purchase, allowing players to construct their own castles inspired by our adoration for the classic Castlevania aesthetic. Craft spellbinding castle decor, enjoy character customization options inspired by legendary Castlevania characters, and ride the new spooky skeletal mount. Set the tone with a symphony of Castlevania music in your castle, with two classic themes reimagined by V Rising composer Aleksandria Migova. It’s time to embark on a journey into darkness as V Rising arrives in its full glory on May 8th, with the free content of “Legacy Of Castlevania” and the purchasable cosmetic DLC. More details to be revealed soon!





"We're all big fans of Castlevania, so being able to actually create original Castlevania content in our game is a dream come true. I want to express a heartfelt thank you to our friends at KONAMI for the chance to bring Castlevania to the V Rising universe. This has been an opportunity for us to channel our love and effort for their games into this collaboration, and we look forward to you being able to experience it for yourself on May 8th!"
