Survival action-RPG ‘V Rising’ leaves Early Access in May

V Rising is a survival action-RPG which sees players “Awaken as a vampire,” forcing you to “hunt for blood in nearby settlements to regain your strength and evade the scorching sun to survive”. The game first launched in Early Access back in 2022, and after nearly two years of work, V Rising is finally ready to hit 1.0 this May.

Almost exactly two years after it first launched via Early Access (on the 17th of May 2022) V Rising is finally set to officially release on the 8th of May 2024 – marking the end of a relatively short early access period.

For the uninitiated, V Rising is a multiplayer survival RPG which sees you play as a vampire, necessitating the consumption of blood and a fear of daylight – among many other survival elements.

The game hit it big back during its initial Early Access launch, selling an impressive 1.5 million copies within its first two weeks.

It is worth noting that while V Rising is set to also come to PlayStation, its release date has yet to be confirmed, aside from a vague 2024 calendar year window.

It’s always exciting whenever a game finally leaves Early Access. Hopefully V Rising gets an injection of new players upon its official launch.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
