Earlier this year, Stunlock Studios announced that an expansion for V Rising was coming in late Spring 2023. However, when the announcement was first made, the team wasn’t ready to reveal its name or many details about what players could expect. With the publishing of a new developer diary, that has changed. We now know that the expansion is called Secrets of Gloomrot. With this new post, the dev team is ready to spill the beans about what’s coming in May 2023.
Enter Gloomrot, a land of equal parts filth, ambition, brilliance, and madness! Navigate polluted valleys and lightning-scorched highlands to face the uncontrollable horrors of the Trancendum’s mutated experiments alongside the mechanical wonders born of their twisted imaginations. Suck the blood of the brilliantly insane to gain their knowledge and enter a new age of technology.
The team has big plans including the addition of three major patches packed filled with new content, new quests, new areas to explore, and new features that are sure to give players plenty to look forward to.
