V Rising’s world is expanding with the Invaders of Oakveil update, a free addition launching on April 28th. This update introduces a new, poisoned biome, a cursed forest, located in the northwest of the game’s continent. It’s important not to confuse this with the existing Cursed Forest in the northeast.
This new, corrupted forest is ruled by the Serpent Queen, a powerful witch whose venomous magic has blighted the land. Players venturing into this area will face her army, the Venom Blades, which includes several dangerous lieutenants. Stunlock Studios provided details about these enemies in a recent community update.
Update 1.1: More Than Just a New Biome
Patch 1.1 delivers more than just a new area. Players can look forward to:
- A New PvP Duel Arena: Test your combat skills against other vampires in one-on-one battles.
- Three New Weapons: Expand your arsenal with new ways to defeat your foes.
- Seven New Spells: Unleash new magical powers.
- Castle Enhancements: Enjoy more options for customizing and building your castle.
- Gear Tweaking and Reforging: Customize your equipment to fit your playstyle.
Major System Overhauls
Invaders of Oakveil also brings significant changes to the game’s systems:
- Blood Type Revamp: The way blood types work has been reworked, impacting both combat and survival strategies.
- Combat Improvements: The combat mechanics have been refined for a smoother, more responsive experience – a change much requested by the community.
Since its early access launch, V Rising has consistently evolved, earning praise for its continuous improvements. The full release has added even more depth to the castle-building and nighttime exploration aspects of the game.
