V Rising, the popular survival action-RPG developed by Stunlock Studios, is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on June 11, 2024. The game, which has already captivated players on other platforms, will bring its thrilling vampire adventure to console gamers, featuring intense boss battles and an exciting collaboration with the Castlevania franchise.
In V Rising, players assume the role of a newly awakened vampire in a dark fantasy world. The game focuses on survival, castle-building, and real-time combat. One of the highlights of the PS5 version is the introduction of Talzur the Winged Horror, described as Dracula’s favorite pet, adding to the list of formidable bosses players will face.
The game offers a rich and immersive experience, allowing players to explore seven different regions, each filled with unique challenges and over 50 bosses to conquer. As players progress, they can build and customize their gothic castle, gather resources, and craft powerful weapons and spells.
A major attraction for the PS5 release is the Legacy of Castlevania event, a collaboration with Konami that brings iconic elements from the Castlevania series into V Rising. Players will have the opportunity to challenge the legendary vampire hunter Simon Belmont and unlock the whip weapon. This event also includes a premium cosmetic DLC pack that lets players design their castles with classic Castlevania gothic aesthetics.
