Also a new “territory” feature

Vampiric survival gameV Risingcontinues its early access with a free expansion coming in May. It’s meaty, overhauling a few areas of the game including magic progression, spellcasting, and lair building in preparation for the endgame. But it’s also “giving you more of what you already love” with new weapons and spells, boss battles, areas, and factions. Quite a lot to sink your teeth into, then.

The team’sblog postdetails all the new changes, with spellcasting in general receiving several notable ones. The five schools of magic are becoming more cohesive, with debuffs that benefit from stacking. These debuffs suffer from diminishing returns, though, since the team wants to encourage players to mix and match spells from other specialisations. Every individual spell in V Rising is getting either a minor tweak or a complete rework, all in an attempt to encourage “more unique, focused and intentional builds.”
In hisearly access review, Ed praised the game’s accessible crafting and combat, saying “V Rising has a little something for every sort of player and that’s its biggest strength.”
May’s free update doesn’t mean a 1.0 release, though. V Rising is exiting the crypts of early access sometime in 2024, and for now, you can take a bit of V Rising onSteamfor £15.50/€20/$20.
