Play as a vampire for free this weekend in V Rising

early access game ascending V it’s free to play on Steam this weekend.

For the next three days, you can live out your vampire fantasies and become the next Dracula.

Developed by Stunlock Studios, V Rising is an open-world vampire survival game that sold over a million copies in its first week on Steam Early Access. That number jumped another million during its first month of availability.

The game features servers with up to 50 players, where you start out as a vampire weakened after centuries of torpor. You will need to hunt to regain your strength while hiding from the sun. Once he’s strong enough, he’ll start rebuilding his castle, turning humans into servants, and raising his vampire empire. You can make allies and enemies, play online or just locally, defend against holy soldiers and wage war.

Other mythical dangers lurk in the forests, open fields, and caverns that you will venture into to find resources. You can pillage villages, raid bandits, fight bosses, and explore the domains of supernatural beasts.

We also tell you how to build a castle, become a wolf, the differences in PvP, provide a guide on servants, and much more.
