‘V Rising’ Exits Early Access, Launches 1.0 Version on May 8th [Trailer]
After detailing their Early Access exit plans last month, Stunlock Studios has announced that V Rising will bust out of the service and launch into 1.0 on May 8th. The PlayStation 5 version will launch later in the year.
The full 1.0 release follows the highly successful Early Access period for V Rising, which eventually saw more than 3.9 million copies sold for the open world survival game.
As was detailed back in February, version 1.0 brings new content to V Rising, with a new territory to explore, visual customization options for your armor, new equipment sets, and enhanced weapons added to the game. Stunlock has also added sweeping improvements to V Rising, including sending Vampires to explore their lost society in the expansive new endgame zone, the Ruins of Mortium. Alongside these additions, the developer has focused on creating optimal PC gameplay with UI improvements, fully integrated gamepad support, and a much smoother overall experience.
“After two years of Early Access, we’ve managed to really polish and worked hard on optimizing the game for its full launch,” said Rickard Frisegård, CEO of Stunlock Studios. “We made the most of that time, and we think fans will enjoy an improved experience that really pushes boundaries. We’re excited for both our dedicated fans and newcomers to get their teeth into V Rising and drink it in when it fully releases on May 8th.”
Right now, you can save 20% until March 21 when you buy V Rising on Steam.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
