Action RPG Adventure The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Announced for PC and XBLA
BUDAPEST - May 9, in the year of our Lord 2012
- When night falls and the supernatural awake from their
slumber, only the bravest souls will trespass unscathed.
Independent developer NeocoreGames today announced the entry of
a brand-new IP entitled The Incredible Adventures of Van
Helsing, an Action RPG filled with fierce and demonic battles,
memorable characters, and a refreshingly unique story that
brings the legendary vampire slayer to modern audiences. The
upcoming title, loosely based on Bram Stoker’s classic novel
Dracula, is being developed for PC and Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the
Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
Set in a gothic-noir universe resembling a fantastical 19th
century Europe filled with monsters, magic, and weird
technology, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing will follow
the son of the famed hunter, known in-game as Van Helsing, in a
tale wrought with wry humor and snappy dialogue. Van Helsing, a
larger-than-life hero possessing a dark yet romantic charm, will
follow his path to the dismal land of Borgovia where former
supernatural foes have enlisted his help to defeat a new scourge
terrorizing the ravaged Eastern European city. With an
assortment of extraordinary characters, an engrossing storyline,
and a beautifully dark and gothic art style, The Incredible
Adventures of Van Helsing looks to bring RPG enthusiasts an
anachronistic adventure like no other.
“Being located in Eastern Europe and having experience
developing RPGs, Van Helsing is a natural fit for us; it’s a
project where we can demonstrate our expertise in both domains
and create something novel that RPG fans can appreciate,” said
Viktor Juhász, lead writer at NeocoreGames. “We’ve always
enjoyed crafting games from legendary tales, but with our own
twist, and Van Helsing provides us the perfect game world to
experiment with.”
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is slated for a late Q4
2012 release. This game has not been rated yet.
