Vampires: Bloodlord Rising - mo


Hello night creatures,

is is time for another update.

Since you heard from us when we last emerged from the development crypt, we made some bloody good progress.

We are working on new features that will greatly enhance your gaming experience once we open the gates for you to enter the broody world of Sangavia again.
We continue to apply your feedback and are both reworking and finetuning elements in order to connect them to the mentioned new features.
Also the visuals will get an overhaul.

And we actually cannot wait to show you the results.
Yet we are unable to give you an exact date when this will be.
Except for 'as soon as possible'.

Because the next time you will hunt for blood and try to create a vampiric legacy, we want to make sure that your stay in Sangavia will be a truly memorable one.

Until we meet again, we welcome you to join the conversation on our Discord.

As you win, you’ll earn enough Bubs to step up to table 2, then 3, 4, and so on. As the tables increase, so does the risk. But no risk, no reward!And like that Wade guy said earlier, this will be the EXCLUSIVE location to obtain Cassandra Nova from!
