New Van Helsing Title Coming to XBLA!

Independent developer NeocoreGames today announced their new IP called, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. This action RPG, loosely based on Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula, is being developed for PC and XBLA. Vampires that don’t sparkle in the sunlight…count us in!

 “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.”

This title is set in a gothic-noir universe; 19th century Europe that’s filled with monsters, magic, and weird technology. The story will follow Van Helsing’s son (also named Van Helsing) as he is tasked with defeating a powerful foe. One so powerful that his former supernatural foes have enlisted his help; an interesting deal of sorts. I mean, if he did in fact team up with someone like Dracula…that would be pretty awesome.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is scheduled for a late 2012 release.
