V Rising the survival vampire ARPG gets a peek into the new monsters called ‘unit family’ and various creatures arising in the next major patch.
V Rising Devs Preview The Horrors Coming in Next Update
Developer Stunlock Studios is preparing to unleash a major update for the vampire survival game V Rising that will add more depth and variety to the game’s foes. The developer has revealed some of the main features of the upcoming patch, which will surely keep the players on their toes with eager anticipation.
The main highlight of the new update is the addition of a new ‘unit family’. Unit families are like factions in V Rising, and they affect how different characters and creatures behave based on their loyalties. The new family will be different from the existing ones, and it will have a special role in the game. Unlike the current families, which keep a stable order in the game’s world, Vardoran, the new family will shake things up and create more conflict, intrigue, and challenge for the players. V Rising is aiming for a full launch in Q2 2024 with 1.0 marking the official launch and leaving early access.
Welcome to the Family – New Family Unit
The new family will act as an invasion force, bringing a new endgame zone to the game. They will be a formidable enemy for the players, raising the stakes in both solo and PvP modes. The developers are working on making these invaders stand out even in crowded fights, improving the gameplay experience during massive battles, and adding more strategy to your combat choices when they show up.
The visuals for the new enemies look menacing, and the team has worked hard on making them even more distinct. They stand out against the other enemies in the game with their animations and fine-tuned visual cues. The latest blog post shows a character model that will haunt the game.
Not only will the new family unit look different, but will have a host of unique abilities that will add further variety to combat. The engineers at Stunlock Studios are combining their technical skills and creative vision to create new interactions between the players and the invaders. The team aims to make these abilities distinct and original.
If you like the idea of having your own influence on V Rising, the developer is hosting an ongoing “Malevolent Monsters Art Contest,” which allows fans to enter monsters of their own design. Stunlock teases that there will be at least one more update before the Christmas season. The game received a free major update the Secrets of Gloomrot back in May, adding a new region, Spells, 13 new bosses and more.
V Rising is currently available in Steam Early Access with the full launch expected in Q2 2024.
