Vampires: Bloodlord Rising Rises From Its Grave In January 2026
Open world action adventure starts with a delay to avoid a battle of the undead, goes into public playtest instead
Oberhaching, Germany, September 25, 2025 - “There can be only one!” Not only the highlander adheres to this mantra. Vampires, the undisputed apex predators among the undead, also follow this guideline. And Dragos, the protagonist of Vampires: Bloodlord Rising, respects the Elder status of the enigmatic Phyre and decided to slumber in his coffin a little longer.
Which means that Vampires: Bloodlord Rising from Polish development team Mehuman Games and German publisher Toplitz Productions will move from its originally slated release date October 23, 2025 to January 30, 2026.
But fans of bloody open world action adventures can nonetheless look forward to a double dose of vampirism in October. We invite all patiently waiting players to a Steam playtest for Vampires: Bloodlord Rising. From October 30, 2025, perfectly timed for Halloween, you can dive into the world of Sangavia, start building your imposing castle, fight the inquisition and unravel the bloodsoaked mystery. The additional time will be used to polish the game even further, while collecting and incorporating the invaluable community feedback from the playtest.
Further info on Vampires: Bloodlord Rising can be found on the official Steam product page, where the game can be wishlisted and where interested players can already sign up for the playtest. We also encourage you to join us on Discord so you don’t miss any news about the game.
