V Rising’s Patch 1.1 Launches April 28 with New Biome, Weapons, and PvP Features
*V Rising* is gearing up for a major update on April 28, 2025, as patch 1.1, titled *Invaders of Oakveil*, officially goes live on both Steam and PlayStation 5. The free update introduces a wealth of new content, most notably a brand-new forest biome called the Oakveil Woodlands.
The patch also includes the Castle Arena and Duel system—allowing players to create custom PvP matchups—as well as several long-awaited features. Combat has received a major overhaul, with a deep stat rework, rebalanced gear, and revamped blood types. Additionally, players will gain access to powerful customization tools and new Fuse and Reforge mechanics for combining weapons and jewels.
Patch 1.1 adds three new weapons (Claws, Twinblade, and Throwing Daggers) and seven spells, including a new ultimate ability tied to a legendary shard. New Castle cosmetics and functional upgrades are also included, offering even more variety for base-building enthusiasts.
While the update is free, a paid cosmetic DLC—*The Eternal Dominance Pack*—will launch the same day for $19.99.
However, players should note that existing saves won’t carry over. Instead, *V Rising* will now allow access to both old and new versions of the game, though the total file size will increase.
With gameplay enhancements, fresh content, and long-requested quality-of-life improvements, *V Rising*’s patch 1.1 is shaping up to be a major milestone for the vampire survival game.
