V Rising announces Halloween Update and Free Weekend

Stunlock Studios today have published a Dev Update for their monstrously popular open-world vampire survival game, V Rising.

The game will be available to play for free from October 28th through November 1st on Steam, allowing new players to enter the world of Vardoran and follow the way of the Vampire.

The new Mad Hunt server setting adds a new element of chaos to the game, randomizing key resources such as V Blood locations, spell unlocks and technologies to add additional variety to the game experience. Of course, specific technologies will still appear at certain points to prevent progression from getting frustrating, but other than that, anything goes!
