V Rising Announces Preliminary Beta Test

This feels a bit like I’m announcing one of those practice tests people take before taking the really big test in school. I guess this is the video game equivalent.

If you’re interested in playing vampire survival game V Rising, Stunlock Studios has announced it will be hosting a preliminary beta test in “early December” -- so pretty much any day now. The purpose of this test is to make sure the tech will hold up under the number of players expected during the “official" closed beta tests, which will take place in Q1 and Q2 of 2022.

As you might expect, the preliminary test is going to be more limited than those that will follow. As Stunlock points out in the dev blog, entry to a beta test of any kind isn’t guaranteed. That said, it’s worth signing up anyway as the developer will continue to roll out invites for each test. Signups are available on the V Rising site.

On an additional note, if you’re interested in the behind-the-scenes of V Rising’s development, the most recent dev blog takes a dive into the 3D art side of things. It’s fairly in-depth and offers an interesting look at the process.
