Summary
V Risinghas revealed a gameplay trailer for patch 1.1, which is set to go live on April 28. The update promises to introduce a ton of new content, including a massive uncharted area called the Oakveil Woodlands. On the same day,V Risingwill also receive a paid cosmetic DLC, The Eternal Dominance Pack, priced at $19.99. However, the update itself will be entirely free and accessible to all players.
V Rising’s patch 1.0received primarily positive feedback from the community, as it added multiple requested features. More importantly, the update introduced a new biome, the Ruins of Mortium, featuring over ten new locations to explore. While the upcoming patch may not be as expansive, it still brings a solid set of improvements and fresh features that should keep the fan base engaged for months to come.
V Rising’s patch 1.1, titled Invaders of Oakveil, has a new forest biome filled with fresh enemies and bosses. The update also adds a duel mechanic, which is essentially a customizable PvP matchmaking feature. Fans can also look forward to a wide range of new Castle cosmetics, along with some yet-to-be-revealed functionalities. Even better, the patch expandsV Rising’s weapon listwith three new weapons and seven additional spells. Players on both Steam and PS5 will be able to download the patch on July 25, 2025.
Fans are hoping thenew patch brings more quality-of-life improvements toV Rising. So far, the lack of certain QoL features has been one of the game’s most common criticisms. For instance, players have long voiced frustration over the absence of a “craft from storage” option. The feature was so highly requested that modders stepped in to create custom mods, allowing players to craft items without carrying the ingredients in their inventory. Based on the current patch notes, one area that looks set to benefit from QoL improvements is combat. The developer has confirmed that combat mechanics have been significantly enhanced in patch 1.1, which should give fans reason to be optimistic.
Unfortunately, fans eager to experience the new content in patch 1.1 will need tostart fresh inV Rising. Unlike previous updates, April’s patch will make it easier to continue playing the older version, but there’s still no way to carry over existing saves to the new build. The developer also noted that the game’s file size will increase after the update, as both versions will be stored simultaneously.
