Stunlock Pivots From V Rising Updates to a New Game Set in Vardoran

The studio says the next title is an early, more ambitious effort that needs new technology.

Overview

  • Stunlock Studios, which disclosed Thursday it is building a new game in V Rising’s gothic world, also said the current game will get no further content updates.
  • The team described the next project as very early in development and focused now on building core architecture to support bigger ideas.
  • V Rising will remain live with balance and bug-fix patches, and the developers will use player polls and a Google form to decide what to tune.
  • Player reaction turned heated on the game’s Discord after the post, with reports noting anger over no official mod tools and many calls for an MMORPG.
  • Reporters point back to June 2025 statements that the studio’s original vision was fulfilled, a clue that helps explain today’s move to a fresh build.
