V Rising is a new open-world vampire survival game that plays out from an isometric perspective. Playable solo or in co-op it's all about hunting monster, bandits, finding fresh blood, and building your dream castle/crypt. As per the Early Access launch trailer it looks pretty impressive - and it's available now on PC via Steam.

In V Rising, you need to survive as a newly awakened vampire in a world ruled by humans and rise to become the next Dracula. Feed on blood to gain new powers, hide from the scorching sun, and engage in real-time PvE and PvP combat set in a dark fantasy realm. Raise your castle and invite friends to join as you explore a vast open world, pillage villages, skirmish with bandits, and delve into the lairs of supernatural beasts. Attack other player’s castles, or become a diplomat in a game of blood, power, and betrayal.

“The day is finally here, our vampires have been revealed in the moonlight and it’s up to the players to discover their secrets,” said Johan Ilves, Marketing Director at Stunlock Studios. “With a lot of blood, sweat and tears (but mostly blood), we have created the foundations for a truly unique vampire gameplay experience. This Early Access campaign will allow us to fine-tune V Rising and take the final steps in creating a genre-defining gem.”

Yeah, it definitely looks very cool and could become another Valheim style hit.
