TheV Rising Gloomrot update’s official webpage showcases various pieces of content that will soon make its way to the game. For instance, players will be able to enter a new biome with “two unique areas twisted in the pursuit of cruel science." Also, the update brings a revamp of Vardoran, the game’s world. Once the update drops, players will be able to access new areas, such as a new vineyard in Silverlight and a reconstructed Cursed Forest. Several new points of interest will also appear in the Dunley Farmlands. Weather hazards will also now appear in the game.
