Hungarian studio NeoCoreGames, best known for its series of King Arthur role-playing wargames, announced today its next project: The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing.
The action RPG follows the son of Abraham Van Helsing, the protagonist of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula. Van Helsing’s adventure takes place in a “gothic-noir” Eastern European universe filled with supernatural foes and intentionally anachronistic humor and gadgetry.
“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,” NeocoreGames lead writer Viktor Juhász said in a statement. “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.”
For now only a few pieces of concept art have been revealed, but much more of the game will be on display at E3 next month.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is slated for a late Q4 2012 release.
