Private servers are important – Interview with Rickard Frisegård, CEO of Stunlock Studios
The popular blend of base-building and collective monster hunting V-Rising has become even bigger and better with the release of the new “Secrets of Gloomrot” update.

Think piece: Is survival possible without dedicated servers?
Survival games tend to magnetically attract lots of players. They usually include open-ended gameplay but more than often choose to offer a story that can be completed alone or with a group of friends. There seems to be a special charm in the fight against hunger, thirst and the elements themselves, not to mention either...
