Feedback for V Rising’s patch 1.0 was predominantly positive, as it introduced several features requested by the community. One significant addition was the Ruins of Mortium biome, which featured over ten new locations for players to explore. Although the upcoming patch may not be as extensive, it still offers an array of enhancements and fresh features designed to maintain player engagement.
Titled Invaders of Oakveil, patch 1.1 will feature a newly designed forest biome populated with new enemies and formidable bosses. Among the exciting additions is a duel mechanic, allowing players to engage in customizable PvP matches. Moreover, fans can expect an extensive selection of new castle cosmetics and various undisclosed features. The patch will also expand V Rising’s weapon roster with three new weapons and seven additional spells. Those playing on Steam or PS5 can access the patch on release day.

As the community looks forward to the new patch, there is a glimmer of hope for quality-of-life enhancements in V Rising. Players have often expressed their dissatisfaction with the absence of certain QoL features, particularly the much-demanded “craft from storage”option. This request was significant enough that community modders created their own solutions, enabling crafting without needing to carry all ingredients in their inventory. Notably, patch 1.1 promises significant upgrades to combat mechanics, sparking optimism among players.
However, enthusiasts looking to explore the new features in patch 1.1 must prepare to start anew in V Rising. Unlike prior updates, this patch will not allow players to continue with their previous saves. Players can expect an easier transition to the new version, though the developer noted that the file size will increase as both game versions will be stored concurrently.
