Stunlock Studios and Konami have worked hard to bring you the Castlevania collaboration for V Rising. The “Legacy of Castlevania”  will launch 8th of May alongside 1.0 for free. V Rising is a survival action RPG, in which players get to be a vampire, build their own castle and protect their land. This update will also bring about a change to the end game as well as PVP.

“We’re all big fans of Castlevania, so being able to actually create original Castlevania content in our game is a dream come true. I want to express a heartfelt thank you to our friends at Konami for the chance to bring Castlevania to the V Rising universe. This has been an opportunity for us to channel our love and effort for their games into this collaboration, and we look forward to you being able to experience it for yourself on May 8!” – Rickard Frisegard, CEO of Stunlock Studios.

Simon Belmont, the hero of the Belmont clan has come to challenge all vampires. Valdoran has become unsafe for the vamp kind, as Simon wields his legendary Vampire Killer and an infamous arsenal of holy weaponry. We also get to see a new weapon, the whip. Face him and establish yourself as the deadliest vamp in Valdaron.

The DLC is free, however there will also be a “Legacy of Castlevania Premium Pack” for those who want to support the game. The pack will include castle decor, a sekeletal mount and character customization options inspired by legendary Castlevania characters.

V Rising is available now in Early Access for PC on Steam, and will launch fully on May 8.
