Play V Rising, a vampire survival game, for free this weekend

V Rising isn’t a new game, but it’s caught our attention again because of a special Halloween event it’s hosting this weekend. The event, termed Bloodfest in-game, will see V Rising being playable for free from October 28th to November 1st, 2022.

As part of the in-game Halloween-themed event, V Rising’s developers, Stunlock Studios, are also releasing fitting DLC that you can claim starting now. The DLC will no longer be available after November 7th, so hurry on over and claim it now. The new DLC includes all sorts of Halloween-themed items, such as spooky interior decor and ghostly lights. 

In addition to the DLC drop, V Rising is also including a brand-new gameplay configuration called the Mad Hunt. This new server preset will randomize the locations of V Blood, its technologies, and spell unlocks. If you’d prefer to only add one of these three features, you can apply them individually. 

As is usually the case with game updates, this most recent one also issues numerous fixes for endgame content, as well as making a few adjustments in terms of the game’s balance.

In other news, everyone who celebrates Halloween puts their own unique spin on the social phenomenon. Some people construct elaborate tricks to enact upon visitors; others, like the folks over at Adafruit, issue warnings that Doom may be running on candy in your Halloween hamper. To each their own, but I’d certainly be more than happy to find a candy bar with gaming capabilities in my candy collection.
