Stunlock Studios have released the first teaser trailer for the upcoming 1.1 Update for multiplayer vampire survival hit V Rising. Having skulked out of early access last year, V Rising has been a massive success for Stunlock, shifting 5 million copies and attracting a huge following. And now the 1.1 Update will bring with it a new enemy and a whole new area to explore and dominate.
V Rising casts you as a newly-resurrected vampire who must construct their own Gothic fortress from which to raid the surrounding lands for raw materials and powerful artefacts, dealing with vampire hunters, beasts, undead hordes and, worst of all, other players out for their blood.
In the Invaders of Oakveil expansion, you’ll explore a new forest biome and take on the invading forces of Queen Megara. The official blurb is as follows:
For centuries, the Oakveil Woodlands went untouched by man, its nature flourishing. That peace has come to an end. A ruthless force has infiltrated from the sea: fierce warriors bound to Megara, their Serpent Queen, corrupting the land and twisting the abundant life into fuel for their deadly weapons. Enter Oakveil, uncover the forbidden alchemy of the Venom Blades, and claim their power before it’s too late.
The expansion will also allow you to build a full arena in your castle where you can duel other players, or outfit your castle with all new cosmetic features. In addition to a host of new weapons, spells, and items, the combat engine is getting a full overhaul, too. You can expect rebalanced stats, new gear features, and new customisation options.
You can see the teaser trailer below, or visit the official V Rising website for more information.
V Rising is available on PC and PS5. Those who own the game will be able to download the Invaders of Oakveil expansion as part of Update 1.1 for free on April 28.
