500000 people have already tried vampire survival game V Rising - Eurogamer.net

Half a million people have signed up to play vampiric survival game V Rising in just three days.

Although only available as an early access release for now, the newly-released open-world game has already clocked up a concurrent Steam peak of over 100,000 players - 101,036 to be precise - making it one of the most-played games on Steam right now.

"Early Access allows you to enjoy V Rising's gothic world while participating in the game’s development," development team Stunlock Studios says about its decision to release in early access first.

"We look forward to hearing your opinion and how you like the mix of survival open-world experiences combined with our studio’s signature gameplay.

Working directly with our players and implementing your feedback will help us create the best Vampire Survival Game possible.

By supporting us, you will play a crucial part in the development of V Rising.

It's expected that V Rising will remain in Early Access for around 12 months, and the "price [will] increase after" that.

"It is difficult to say precisely how long it will take to process player feedback and further develop the game accordingly.

That said, our goal is to finalize the game and leave Early Access within 12 months."!
