About V Rising

V Rising poster

V Rising is a vampire survival action RPG in which you awaken weakened after centuries of slumber and must rebuild your strength. Feeding on blood restores your power, but the scorching sun is a constant threat, forcing you to hide during daylight to survive. From these humble beginnings you set out to raise a vampire empire, rebuilding your castle and turning humans into loyal servants along the way.

The world is a gothic open expanse of lush forests, open countryside and dark caverns, teeming with mythical horrors and valuable resources. You can travel with vampire comrades or hunt solo, pillaging villages, raiding bandits and delving into the lairs of supernatural beasts, all while managing your movements around the rising and setting sun. Sunlight will reduce you to ash, so shadow becomes your ally and the night your hunting ground.

Castle building forms a core pillar, as you gather resources and recover ancient techniques to construct a stronghold, store your loot and grow an army of darkness. Playable online with allies or enemies, or solo locally, this action, adventure and MMO title on PC lets you fend off holy soldiers and wage war across a land of conflict as you seize your destiny and defy Dracula.
