V Rising has developed into a real gaming hit since its release almost 3 years ago and players worldwide are still really enjoying it. Stunlock Studios continues to work hard on the game and is adding another update to V Rising on April 28th. Find out what you can discover in the V Rising Invaders of Oakveil update on the GPORTAL blog.

From Sweden to the whole world - the success of V Rising

In May 2022, V Rising launched as an Early Access title on Steam and immediately climbed the ladder of success. After just one month in Early Access, over 2 million copies of V Rising were sold and the number has now reached an impressive 5 million! The Swedish developers from Stunlock Studios have hit the bull's eye with a mixture of survival, action, multiplayer and small RPG elements.

Why is V Rising so successful?

Just awakened as a newly risen vampire in Vardoran and it's already time to start exploring the world: collecting resources, discovering materials, hunting down the first V Bloods, escaping the deadly rays of the sun and leveling up. With newly uncovered recipes and the achievement of further levels, you can build a unique vampire castle so that you can immediately show who the king of the vampires is.

V Rising's unique blood system is also an absolute highlight. With the different blood types, you can significantly influence your own game and, depending on the type, ensure that you are more successful in battles or when collecting resources - higher blood quality ensures higher bonuses. If you want different bonuses, you can simply swap for a different type, which makes V Rising very varied.

The Oakveil Woodlands with new dangers

The biggest new feature of the V Rising Invaders of Oakveil update is the completely new area called Oakveil Woodlands. A once peaceful region has been infested by dark forces; the ones causing it? The Venom Blades, who are obsessed with expressing their loyalty to their ruler Megara in any way they can.

If you're wondering who exactly the Venom Blades are, you're probably less likely to like the answer. They use dark magic and rituals to carry out their mysterious plans. Enter the mystical secrets of the Oakveil landscapes and face the serpent queen Megara - defeat or be defeated. Not only a new area awaits you, but also new adventures and challenges.

Reinforcements for you: New weapons and spells

Thankfully, the new update not only brings more dangerous enemies to Vardoran, you also get support thanks to new weapons and spells.

  • The Claws: With the new claws, you can perform fast and precise attacks
  • Twinblade: The Twinblade, which has razor-sharp and deadly blades at both ends, will also leave your opponents frozen in awe
  • Throwing Daggers: Last but not least are the throwing knives, with which you can throw 4 knives at once, each of which deals damage on its own - ideal for tactical attacks from a distance

In addition to the weapons, you'll continue to get variety with new spells for each school of magic and a new spectacular ability linked to the new Shard that increases your power even further.

Defeat others in your own battle arena

There's no end to the highlights, because with the new update you can also set up your own battle arena in your vampire castle. Invite friends and other rivals and test your current tactics in 1v1 duels without risking losing your vampire's life or items.

In addition to the new battle arenas, the V Rising Invaders of Oakveil update adds further new features - including an overhaul of equipment, blood types and stats. If required, you can even create your own ideal equipment by fusing weapons or jewels. If having your own battle arena isn't enough for you, you can access additional cosmetic features and expand your castle with new decorations and customizations.
