Vampires: Bloodlord Rising features a dark open-world adventure where players awaken as a Vampire Lord. They've become weak with the land of Sangavia being cursed. They now have to rebuild their fallen castle since its heart, the Castle Core, remains pulsing with ancient hunger. To fuel the Core with blood, they'll have to unlock new regions and discover hidden areas that's shrouded in mist. Ultimately, they have to reclaim their power in a dark action-adventure with castle building, exploration and RPG elements.

Players can rebuild their fortress and shape it to their will. The towering halls, secret chambers, and gothic spires rise from the night. The castle serves as their refuge, their power, and the true symbol of their growing dominion. The world is filled with prey and to regain their strengths and fuel dark rituals, they can feed on humans and beasts that roam the night. Get to command loyal vampire thralls to serve their will, from crafting, hunting, and building to protecting the dark empire.

Vampires: Bloodlord Rising is available on Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG.com.
