Vampires: Bloodlord Rising’s release date makes 2025’s final months rather eventful for vampire enthusiasts everywhere, since we can now look forward to at least two games that focus on the popular creatures of the night.
Stepping into the shoes of Dragos, a survivor of a vampire attack whose newfound powers place him at the top of the food chain, we have to wrestle with the urge to satisfy our hunger for blood as it threatens to break our oath of protecting the inhabitants of the Balkan-inspired world of Sangavia, whose fate we determine through our decisions.
Vampires: Bloodlord Rising Release Date
Vampires: Bloodlord Rising’s release date is currently locked in to October 23, 2025, when it enters Steam Early Access.

Vampires: Bloodlord Rising Gameplay
Having freshly joined the vampire ranks, Protagonist Dragos makes use of abilities such as superhuman strength, heightened perception, and enhanced speed to gain the upper hand on his foes.
Furthermore, he is “able to see, hear and taste a world unreachable and unseen to mortals,” as well as shapeshift into a bat when traversing the game’s “huge” open world.
Sangavia boasts “diverse mountain ranges, forests, dungeons, swamps and other areas […] filled with discoveries as well as dangers” that could provide a break from the persistent moral dilemma plaguing the protagonist in his new life.
Since Dragos can “decide who lives, who dies and who will be [his] eternal follower,” he also has to ponder whether to take the path of a tyrant, giving in to his blood thirst, or proving that some creatures of the night can be benevolent rulers by staying true to his oath of protecting Sangavia’s people.
Whichever path we choose, we’ll also get to plan, build, and customize our very own castle using “dozens of wall pieces, roofs, floors, staircases, decor and furniture.”
Furthermore, Vampires: Bloodlord Rising also promises a cinematic story “with dramatic twists and turns” that can lead to multiple endings. Whether pushing through to its conclusion, venturing across its open world, or building castles, friends can join us thanks to the title’s online co-op mode.
