Developer NeocoreGames has released their first-ever teaser trailer for their recently announced title “The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing.”

The new trailer is an attempt by the team to provide the would-be monster hunters their first glimpse of the young, brash and larger-than-life hero, Van Helsing, for the upcoming action-RPG title. The game is said to be loosely based on Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, and is being developed for PC and Xbox Live.

“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,” says the official press release for the game. “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.

Along with a variety of extraordinary characters, an absorbing storyline, and a beautifully dark and gothic art style, “The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing” aims to bring for 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 Juhasz, 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 fourth quarter release this year.
