As V Rising comes to alternate PC platforms, the game’s enormous success has been celebrated by the developer. Yesterday (May 24), Stunlock Studios revealed that V Rising has sold an impression million copies, a milestone that’s made all the more impressive considering the game only launched on May 17.

“1,000,000 vampires have risen from their slumber! Thank you all for being part of this achievement,” shared Stunlock Studios.

For anyone who hasn’t picked V Rising up yet, the game’s Steam page shares what to expect:

“Awaken as a weakened vampire after centuries of slumber. Hunt for blood to regain your strength while hiding from the scorching sun to survive. Rebuild your castle and convert humans into your loyal servants in a quest to raise your vampire empire. Make allies or enemies online or play solo locally, fend off holy soldiers, and wage war in a world of conflict.”

NME recently tried the game out as part of our Unfinished Business series, and found that “Stunlock Studios is already onto a winner, and if the developer can expand the game as it plans to (and properly nail that vampire premise) it could even be knocking on Valheim‘s window as the premier survival adventure.”

In other gaming news, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been given an October release date.
