Is V Rising free-to-play?

V Rising features both single-player and co-op modes.

V Rising is a premium PC game, which means you’ll need to purchase a copy if you wish to play. The title is an Early Access game and the developers currently have no plans on releasing a free-to-play model. 

It’s important to note that Battlerite – the developer’s previous game – sold an Early Access version before making the game completely free-to-play. Whether V Rising will follow a similar pattern in the future remains to be seen, but for now, you’ll need to pay up if you wish to begin building your vampire empire.
