After an eventful V Rising free weekend, which saw player count triple its previous month's peak, the massive V Rising 1.1.1 update is finally here! Here we dive into the V Rising 1.1.1 patch notes and cover everything you need to know about the latest update, which includes a ton of spell and ability buffs and nerfs across the board.

What's New in the V Rising 1.1.1 Update?

While Stunlock Studios revealed upcoming changes last week ahead of its free weekend, the studio decided against releasing the patch until this week to avoid any instability for free weekend players. But for this weekend, the changes are finally here! The V Rising 1.1.1 update comes with a range of bug fixes and spell/ability balance changes, with plenty of buffs and nerfs from top to bottom. This patch includes balance changes for all of the following: Sanguine Coil, Blood Rite, Wraith Spear, Spectral Guardian, Ball Lightning, Veil of Storm, Corrupted Skull, Veil of Bones, Freeze Immunity, Mosquito, Veil of Chaos, Wisp Dance, Arctic Storm, Raging Tempest, Curse, Ice Block, Blood Fountain, and Cyclone. This patch also includes a bug fix for Explosive Shot (Pistol), and big changes for Corrupted Blood, which will affect both PVP and PVE encounters.
