The unique world of the vampire survival game V Rising is set to expand with the introduction of a new free update on April 28, which will feature a cursed and poisoned forest in the northwest section of the game. Notably, this area is different from the existing Cursed Forest located in the northeast.

The new forest is under the dominion of a powerful witch known as the Serpent Queen, whose poisonous abilities affect the surrounding environment. Players venturing into this area must be prepared to face her minions, the Venom Blades, who will challenge them with fierce combat skills.

The update, labeled as patch 1.1, will also come with various enhancements including a new arena for PvP duels, three additional weapons, seven fresh spells, improved castle functionalities, and the option to customize and reforge gear.

V Rising garnered substantial attention during its early access phase, and reviews have praised its continuous development and improvement. According to writer Lewis Parker, “My friends and I would jump online every week and stay up until the early morning to work on our cute little vampire castle together, like we were playing a macabre version of Animal Crossing.” He highlighted version 1.0 as a superior iteration of one of the best early access survival games.
