V Rising: How’s what to expect when you enter Dracula’s freezing area of Mortium

Coming to PlayStation 5 later this month, V Rising is a survival game with motion RPG parts and razor-sharp skill-based battle. After centuries of drudgery, your family have been forgotten after the Church of Luminance suffered a severe defeat. In your quest to regain your former glory, emerge from your tomb, explore a large open world, look for blood, and construct a towering castle. But what brilliance is there to recapture? What is the Vampire promised?
Earlier this year when we announced V- Rising was coming to PS5, we provided a picture into its story, play mechanics, and wide opened world. Now, we want to focus on one part of the world, the risks that await within, and, of course, the Vampire King plotting his profit from the center of its gloomy lands: Dracula.

In the world of V Rising, Dracula ruled from his king in Mortium, a darkened region of the monster empire, unaffected by the sun. From that, he waged a great battle and brought mankind to the brink of extinction. The Immortal King himself was the subject of humanity’s determined requests when a divine power suddenly appeared for the first time, allowing them to fight not merely Dracula’s Regiment of Noctum but also Dracula’s Regiment of Noctum.
But for Dracula, defeat was no death.
The nocturnal king has built up his strength and plans to make a return to the Shadow Realm over the years. That time has come. Dracula has a call to arms, rousing incalculable legions of demons from their centuries-long comarison. However, not all who rouse are glad to serve. Some people are more optimistic than others, and they instead seek to rule their own destiny. In V Rising, you are one for Vampire.
The Vampire emperor’s primary lies in Mortium, a warm and stately snowscape reportedly untouched by sunlight. This was once the center of the strong Vampire society, ruled by the famous Dracula. But then, after years have passed, the magnificent spires and castles of the Army of Noctum lay in remains, abandoned and forgotten.
In the deep of Mortium, living evokes over, inhabited by servants and zealous cultists devoted to Dracula, along with new dangers. The lord of the night has flourished in the Shadow Realm, unaffected by conventions, and his imminent return brings forth creatures from other worlds. Behold the Draculin, creatures from the Shadow Realm that appear to be tainted by Dracula’s blood- soaked influence.
When consumed, these creatures from another world gain unique benefits from drinking it, making it possible to use it. You’ll be able to move more quickly at night, heal more quickly, and have a number of advantages that will help you secure kills more easily and more frequently depending on the blood type.
You’ll also face the Vampire Generals of the Legion of Noctum, some of Dracula’s oldest and most fervent followers. Overcoming them will give you ancient abilities that are directly related to your Vampire lineage, as well as secrets that will help you strengthen your connection to deeper Vampire magic.
The final obstacle to your Vampire adventure will be finding your way to Mortium, where Dracula’s forces are gathered at the foot of his castle. It was once great and powerful, and it is a testament to what the great king of vampires once achieved and the dominance he seeks to euthanize upon his return.
The Legion of Noctum is busy performing dark rituals in Mortium to enthrone the world with Dracula from the Shadow Realm in order to gather blood, which will help fuel the magical engine that will bring Dracula’s complete reign. You will have the power to go up and sever the magic that has been left behind in the wake of these invasions, breaking their dark rifts, and collecting the essence of magic that has been left behind.
You’ll be able to use these resources to unlock potent Vampire abilities, create and equip powerful weapons, and eventually even create the key needed to attack the Immortal King’s entire operation. You’ll get everything you need to infiltrate the Shadow Realm and confront Dracula yourself by draining the blood of Dracula’s closest and most powerful servants.
In this final battle, you must demonstrate that you are truly worthy of the title of apex predator of Vardoran while pushing your limits on your abilities.
Embrace your darkest desires in V Rising, whether you venture alone or alongside companions. With the DualSense controller, you can feel the heartbeat of your prey as it drains the life out of it. Feel the pounding of power in your palm as you use magic to annihilate your foes, and the explosive impact of great beasts colliding with the earth as you do so.
The hunt is on in 2024 on the PlayStation 5 with V Rising.
