V Rising Dev Tracker

Greetings Vampires!

It’s our hope that the chill of the creeping winter has treated you well and that you’re enjoying the darker, longer nights alongside us. Here at Stunlock Studios, we have been taking advantage of the darker nights, working more comfortably so that we can focus on the intricate and arcane.

That’s right, here in our crypts, we’re hard at work with the darkest and most horrid magic of all… math! Though we’ll spare you the most painful details, as we are merciful, we’ll instead show you the fruits of our labors. Today, Vampires, we’re going to take a nice bloody bite of one of the most integral parts of the RPG aspects of V Rising. As always, everything we share during development is subject to change.

Let’s talk gear, stats, progression, and of course… blood!

Hello Vampires!

We’ll be adding a small patch to V Rising today that should only affect your client, not your servers, so there shouldn’t be any issue waiting for servers to update or server restarts necessary to play. The only change should be a graphic on the server list identifying our Trusted Server Provider, which has changed from G-Portal to PocketHost.

The size of the update may appear large, but that's really all that's in it! Image files can be funny like that. So don't be alarmed.

If you're having issues with the game, make sure to take a look at our ... Read more

Well, hello there, Vampires.

We’re well into the autumn months, but even as we approach the midway through November, we haven’t completely relinquished our grip on the season of screams! Yes, there’s one more order of business before we finally close out our Halloween celebrations, and that’s the announcement of the winners of the Slashers of Vardoran Art Competition!

For this competition, the challenge we gave to you, our community, was taking one of the V Blood bosses you have lovingly battled for so long and reimagining them with the theme of a horror slasher movie. Judging this contest, we took into account, first and foremost, adherence to the main theme! Whoever best evoked the mood and terror of this beloved genre that is so often enjoyed at the spookiest time of the year. After the theme, we considered overall artistic merit, skill, and c...

Greetings, creatures of the night!

We hope you’re enjoying the fall season. After all, it has everything a Vampire could ask for. The spirits are active, the dead are rising, and with the coming cold and darkening skies, it is becoming more and more tempting to take a seat in your most extravagant armchair by the fireplace flame with a nice glass of blood-red wine. Allow us to give you one more reason to settle in with a little something to read while you get comfortable.

Today, we bring you a dev update. It’s been some time since the full release of V Rising, followed shortly by its launch on the PlayStation 5 just a month later. During this time, we've reviewed the outcomes of 1.0, addressed bugs, and are now well underway in preparing for our next major update.

That’s right, the dark summoning of patch 1.1 has begun! We’re sure y... Read more

Hello Vampires.

We’re going to be making a few changes to V Rising today to squash a pesky UI-breaking bug, and also add some new items to an already existing DLC pack in preparation for an upcoming event! We’ll be posting more on that in just a few hours. For now, here are the changes in today’s patch.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please make sure you have updated your client! You may experience crashing issues if you do not update your client.

Changes in this patch, which should go live soon, will include:

• Removed the ability for players to name themselves from a certain range of Arabic shorthand codes.
  
• These codes cause the UI to break when encountered in a player name.
  
• Any players who currently have names with these codes should display as “aaaa”, which will no longer cause UI is...

Hello Vampires.

Yesterday we patched V Rising with a small update to the Continue function in the main menu. You should now be able to see the name of the server you’re connecting to before choosing to connect to indicated over the button on the main menu. This is a relatively small change, but we’re just letting you know what we did so you aren’t too spooked by an unexplained update.

There will be more V Rising news to be spooked about later this month! Happy Halloween!
