V Rising is a 2024 action role-playing survival game developed by Stunlock Studios and published by Level Infinite.

V Rising is set in an open world, split into five biomes, where the player controls a recently awakened vampire.

[1] Players consume blood from enemy non-playable characters (NPCs) by performing a specific action once the NPC is near death.

Garlic functions similarly, except it applies a negative status effect that gets worse the longer the player is exposed.

In order for a structure built by the player to be classified as a castle, which grants a roof to protect against the sun, the walls must be stone and any kind of flooring must be placed.

[4] Players are able to freely move objects within the borders of their claimed area (with some exceptions), including storage containers and crafting stations, even if they have items in them.

[5] With the release of the Secrets of Gloomrot update, players are able to add multiple levels to their castles, with a technical maximum of 6 floors.

[16] IGN's early access review thought that the crafting aspects of the game were time-consuming, but praised the boss design and action role-playing combat.
