‘Vampire Dynasty’ Becomes ‘Vampires: Bloodlord Rising’, Receives New Gameplay Trailer [Watch]

Previously known as Vampire Dynasty, developer Mehuman Games and publisher Toplitz Productions are giving the game a facelift with a new name and a new look. Now known as Vampires: Bloodlord Rising, we’ve also been treated to an updated look at the game’s visuals, upgraded character design and other enhancements “that have gone into the creative process of bringing the game’s characters to life within the murky and mysterious world of Sangavia.”

“The deeper we went into the development, the more it became clear to us, that the content with its story focus and the strong implementation of action-adventure elements doesn’t cater to the expectations neither players nor ourselves have of a Dynasty game”, said Robin Gibbels, Head of Producing at Toplitz Productions. “While we remain committed to the quality of the content and the gamedesign and didn’t change any of these elements, with the new name it is clear that these vampires are not standing on anybody’s shoulders and will fight for their rightful place in the open world of Sangavia.”

As you can see in the new trailer, Vampires: Bloodlord Rising has undergone visual improvements to various materials and textures, including the building elements that players will utilize to build their own custom Vampire castle. As well, the game now sports an improved lighting system, along with a totally overhauled onscreen UI system. Level appearance has also undergone visual improvements, including even the smaller details such as the appearance of grass, water and even fog behavior.

Gameplay elements have also been expanded, with a particular focus on managing subjects. From now on, the player will be able to romance transformed vampires, send them to hunt, and even perform rituals.

Vampires: Bloodlord Rising will enter Early Access on Steam later this year.
