Indie developers Neocore has announced a new action-RPG based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. The game is set in a 19th century ”gothic-noir universe”, featuring ”fierce and demonic battles, memorable characters,” re-imagined for a modern audience.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing was written by lead writer Viktor Juhász, who stated, “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.”
“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,” he added.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is due to be released for PC and Xbox Live Arcade in Q4 2012.
