V Rising Dev Tracker

Hey vampires! I know you’re all used to us delving into the shadowy mysteries of game development, but today is all about building up. Join us as we lay the foundations for the symbols of any great vampire’s status.

We’re excited to announce we’re partnering up with HP OMEN[www.omen.com] for our first ever V Rising art contest! We want you to interpret V Rising and its gothic world by creating a retro-style horror poster for the game for this contest. The inspiration should come from either old horror movie posters (any decade from the 1920s to the 1990s) or retro horror game cover art.
