V Rising has sold over 4 million copies since it launched into early access a little over two years ago. More copies are now expected to fly off the digital shelves as it officially opens its doors to PlayStation 5 users today.

“The ultimate Vampire experience has risen from its crypt and onto the PlayStation 5!” Stunlock Studios announced. “Rise from your grave, hunt for blood, and ascend from the lowest of forgotten creatures to become the ultimate nocturnal predator. Become the terror of the night, raise your castle, enthrall human servants, and slay your way across the dark fantasy world of Vardoran. The journey to greatness begins today on the PlayStation 5, so get your claws on a controller and get to rising!”

The PS5 version launches with Version 1.0, at par with its PC counterpart, and reworked controls and menus specifically for ease-of-use with the DualSense controller.

PS5 users can also take part in the Castlevania collaboration event where they’ll get to face off against Simon Belmont, the original protagonist of the series, and learn to wield his deadly whip. The Legacy of Castlevania Premium Pack is also still on sale with exclusive themed cosmetics including armor pieces, shapeshifting forms, hairstyles, castle decorations, mounts, and more!

You can grab the cosmetic pack from the PlayStation Store for $19.99 or the full Legacy of Castlevania Edition, which includes a copy of the game, for $59.99. You can also splurge and get the V Rising Complete Edition instead which comes bundled with the Dracula’s Relic, Sinister Evolution, Eldest Bloodline, and Legacy of Castlevania Packs, all for the low, low price of $99.99.
