After more than a year since its official release, V Rising – the action survival game where players take on the role of a vampire – is experiencing a significant resurgence on Steam.
The latest update titled Invaders of Oakveil has contributed to a spike in player numbers for the game, reaching a peak of 75,000 players within the last 24 hours – the highest since its launch in May 2022. Along with this, the 50% discount promotion running until May 12 has made V Rising a focal point of interest within the gaming community.
This is considered the largest update for V Rising aimed at survival gamers to date, as it introduces a completely new area: Oakveil – a once-abandoned region now teeming with powerful magical creatures and the ominous presence of dark forces.
The center of this newly reclaimed area is Megara – the Vampire Queen, a formidable foe who commands an army of minions known as Venom Blades. They scour the land in search of Venom Sap, a special resource used in various dark rituals. Not only does Invaders of Oakveil provide a wide array of new content, but it also significantly enhances gameplay – making the game not just deeper but also more engaging, with many challenging quests.
V Rising made a strong impression upon its launch in 2022, selling over 1 million copies just one week after its release. This title seamlessly blends elements of survival, role-playing, base building, and real-time combat. Players assume the role of a powerful vampire, navigating through a world filled with supernatural creatures, adapting, hunting, and building to survive against human factions and other threats. After a period of stagnation due to a lack of content updates, V Rising has firmly established itself as a name worth watching. The Invaders of Oakveil update not only revitalizes gameplay but also demonstrates the developers’ long-term commitment to expanding this engaging vampire-themed universe.
Currently, V Rising is being sold at a price of approximately 220,000 VND, reflecting a 50% discount from its original price. This promotional offer will end on May 13, and with the exciting new content the game is bringing, it stands out as one of the most attractive offers in the gaming landscape for May.
