While Stunlock Studios is still working its way through a very successful Early Access launch for V Rising, the developer has now announced that not only will the game be leaving Early Access later this year, but it’ll also be coming to the PlayStation 5. Stunlock made the announcement via PlayStation Blog, though no definitive release date was announced for either the Early Access exit, or the PS5 release.

For those not in the know, V Rising hit Steam Early Access back in 2022, and is an open-world survival game that sees you as a newly-awakened vampire in a world ruled by humans. In your rise to become the next Dracula, you’ll feed on blood to gain new powers, hide from the scorching sun, and engage in real-time PvE and PvP combat set in a dark fantasy realm.

Along the way, you’ll be constructing your castle, pillage villages, skirmish with bandits, and delve into the lairs of supernatural beasts. You also have the ability to invite friends to join as you explore a vast open world. You can also choose to attack other player’s castles, or play the peacemaker in your quest for power.

As mentioned, Stunlock is still working away at updates for the game. They have a rundown over on V Rising‘s Steam page of what the team accomplished this past year, and hinted at what they’ve got cooking for this year leading up to the game’s full release. In addition, if you still haven’t grabbed V Rising, and don’t want to wait for the PlayStation 5 version, you can enjoy a 20% discount on Steam now until February 5th.

‘Vampire Survivors’ Receives “Laborratory” Update Ahead of ‘Operations Guns’ Next Week [Trailer]

Ahead of Contra arriving in Vampire Survivors with Operation Guns, developer Poncle has released a new free 1.10 update for the roguelike entitled the “Laborratory” update. The update adds new achievements for those of you who love that sort of thing, as well as a new character, new stages and new weapons.

“Since the early days of VS, people have been asking important questions like ‘Why is it called Santa Water?’,” reads the update. The Laborratory update aims to address that, introducing the Santa Ladonna character to Vampire Survivors, who starts out with nothing but a temporary cooldown bonus, and automatically triggers a Rosary when reaching critically low HP.

For weapons, you have the new Santa Javelin, which evolves into Seraphic Cry. Starting out, the Santa Javelin aims for random enemies, can critically hit and turn the Duration stat into additional Amount for itself. In order to evolve it into the Seaphic Cry, players will need a maxed out Clover. The evolution uses Luck to deal additional damage. Picking up Rosaries while it is equipped turns them into a quadruple screen clearing explosion that will turn enemies into XP gems.

In addition to the new patch, Poncle has dropped some progress updates on a couple of topics. Cross-saves are currently in beta branches on Steam, while progress on online co-op is going well, but it’s “still too early for more details”. The developer is also working on a new feature which will allow for new Adventures, which are standalone campaigns that were introduced in previous updates. “We had planned to make new Adventures more often, but then realized that while they work very well to isolate new DLC content, the base-game ones are missing something. So we’ve been working on adding a new feature to the game (that will remain a little secret for now) after which we’ll be back releasing new adventures.”

Meanwhile, Vampire Survivors:Operation Guns will launch May 9 across PC and consoles, and will head to the PlayStation version once it’s been released.
