Vampires: Bloodlord Rising Enters Early Access

Oberhaching, Germany, January 30, 2026 – Vampires: Bloodlord Rising, developed by Mehuman Games and published by Toplitz Productions, is now available in Early Access on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com. The open-world action-adventure title lets players explore the vampire realm of Sangavia, develop their characters, and manage a vampire clan while engaging in both solo and cooperative gameplay. 

Players take on the role of Dragos, a vampire emerging from a long slumber to reclaim power and fight against the inquisition. The Early Access release features five distinct biomes, each with unique missions, enemies, and hidden secrets. Combat is fast-paced and visceral, and players can unlock and evolve a range of vampire abilities. The story-driven campaign emphasizes exploration and character progression, providing a gothic atmosphere and multiple opportunities to interact with memorable characters.

Castle Building and Clan Management

A central feature of Vampires: Bloodlord Rising is the ability to construct and expand a customizable castle. Players oversee their vampire clan, issuing orders to loyal servants who gather resources and assist in building projects. The castle serves as a visual representation of a player’s power and status in Sangavia. Through strategic management, players can enhance their abilities, craft rare items, and expand their influence across the open world.

Cooperative Play in an Open World

The game supports cooperative play for up to four players, allowing friends to join forces in reclaiming territory and exploring Sangavia together. Co-op gameplay extends to combat, castle management, and resource collection, creating opportunities for teamwork and strategy. While the Early Access release offers a robust experience, future updates are planned to expand story content, add new crafting options, introduce additional castle features, and unlock further character abilities.

Early Access Plans and Future Content

During the Early Access phase, Mehuman Games and Toplitz Productions plan to expand the game world, add new story chapters, and introduce additional dangers, enemies, and crafting options. Player feedback will play a key role in shaping the development of these updates.
