It’s been relatively calm for Stunlock Studios since the release of the major V Rising update, Invaders of Oakveil. But they’ve been working on something new: their biggest project yet! This upcoming title will be a survival-crafting action RPG set in the same world as V Rising, so fans of that game will definitely want to keep an eye on it.
Simply put, Stunlock Studios is creating a new game based in the stunning and unusual gothic universe of V Rising. This project will be our biggest and most challenging yet, after 15 years of game development, and we’re excited to share this adventure with you. Get ready for a new evolution of the vampire hunt!
Building V Rising was a long process, developed gradually over years of work and careful choices. However, this careful, step-by-step approach can also create challenges. Early decisions, while logical at the time, don’t always easily accommodate new ideas that come up later in development.
Okay, so this new project is really exciting! We’re finally getting to try things we haven’t been able to for ages – totally new ideas without being held back by what we’ve done before. Because of everything we’ve learned building this world with you guys, we’re able to aim for something much bigger and bolder for the future of our vampire universe. Right now, we’re building the groundwork to make all of these crazy ideas possible, and we think it’ll give you all a great platform to do your own amazing things too!
The project is in the very beginning stages, but the developers are aiming for a much more immersive and challenging experience than previous games. They want to continue the vampire story in a way that feels both recognizable and fresh, and they’re committed to creating something special. They plan to use player feedback to improve the game, suggesting it might be released as an early access title, similar to how V Rising launched.
Although new updates will take some time, and things will likely change during development, Stunlock Studios promises to occasionally share progress updates with fans.
So, what does this mean for V Rising? Sadly, the Invaders of Oakveil update will be the last big addition to the game, as the developers feel the story of becoming a vampire is now complete. However, they won’t abandon the game entirely. They’ll continue to release updates to fix bugs and adjust gameplay balance as needed. They also plan to ask players for feedback on the game’s overall health, but their immediate priority is resolving any significant issues and making small improvements where possible.
We won’t be offering official modding support or tools. After looking into it, we realized the game’s structure doesn’t allow us to create tools that would meet our quality standards for the community. While we didn’t succeed this time, the research we did will help us with future projects and our new direction.
V Rising is currently available for PS5 and PC. It sold over five million units as of January 2025.
