You have to believe that vampires are still so popular in 2022, as evidenced by the first figures for V Rising, the latest game to slip you into the shoes of a bloodthirsty Transylvanian. Released just a few days ago in Early Access, the title of Stunlock Studios is already a hit on Steam.

Failing to be able to turn to big releases at the moment, players find their happiness on the side of the independent video game scene. Latest favorite from the community: V Risingdeveloped by Stunlock Studios, the team behind the MOBA Battlerite. This time the studio is partly moving away from competitive multiplayer to offer a new formula combining survival, hack’n slash and sandbox. To sum it up roughly, V Rising borrows both from titles like Valheim et Diablo
As a vampire, the goal in V Rising is to build your Castle and subjugate the unfortunate beggars that inhabit the world. At the start of the game, we are still far from having the aura of the legendary Dracula. It is then necessary to collect resources and begin to establish a true empire of evil within the open world that represents Vardoran. Nocturnal creature obliges, V Rising contains a day/night cycle that must be scrupulously respected unless you end up completely charred.
As you progress, it will be a question of acquiring new weapons and skills in order to become more and more powerful. The formula, quite classic but nevertheless devilishly effective, has obviously seduced the players. Stunlock Studios just shared their first results, and it’s been great.
500,000 vampires on the hunt
Despite the status of the game, still in Early Access, V Rising is off to a flying start. Just four days following the release of their title, Stunlock Studios announces that they have sold 500,000 copies on Steam. Excellent results, which allow both V Rising to gain popularity but also Stunlock Studios to ensure sustainable development.
The studio’s goal is to exit Early Access within 12 months. For their part, the players who shared their first sessions seem quite convinced by this first version. SIf you plan to treat yourself to the game, know that it is available now for around twenty euros on the Valve platform.
