Probably one of the best Vampire games in existence at the moment has got to be V Rising. And it’s both surprising and exciting to say that the game hasn’t even reached its full 1.0 release just yet.
Over the course of the years that the game has been out in “early access”, V Rising has seen a vast variety of added content, from more monsters and bosses to being able to fully realise your Dracula-esque dreams by building your own multi-tiered castle.
Fans will know, though, that Stunlock Studio officially announced their leave from early access earlier this year, with the date of the 8th of May as their official launch, but that’s not all they’re planning on releasing.
Stunlock Studios has partnered up with Konami, the guys behind the vampire epic Castlevania, to create a bit of Castlevania content that will launch alongside the 1.0 release on the same day.
The added content will feature Simon Belmont as an in-game boss. Defeating him will grant the player his legendary whip as well as a new V Blood ability said to “ embody the grace and precision of the deadly Vampire hunter.”
There will also be a purchasable cosmetic DLC that includes Castlevania-inspired decor to dress your castle in, character customisation options based on select Castlevania characters, two new themes composed by V Rising composer Aleksandria Migova motivated by the classic themes from Castlevania, and a new skeletal mount.
With just over a month to go before the launch of the game and the swanky new content, now would be the perfect time to bite into a local server. If you’re looking for one, NAG hosts a couple of options that you’re more than welcome to join. Head on over to our Discord to find out more.
