In a strange bit of kismet, there's a new game in development about Van Helsing while Tom Cruise is set to reboot the film franchise. Is there some sort of vampire fever we're missing out on? Abraham Lincoln's a vampire hunter, the Twilight Saga ends this year and Incredible Adventures takes a sort of chibi/super deformed take on the title character and sole vampire in the teaser trailer. The rest of the press release after the trailer:
Independent developer NeocoreGames have tracked down the first-ever teaser trailer and screenshots for recently announced The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, giving would-be monster hunters their first glimpse of the young Van Helsing, the brash and larger-than-life hero of the upcoming action-RPG title. The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, 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.
Featuring young Van Helsing, son of the famed monster hunter, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing sets players on a fantastical journey to Borgovia, a kingdom on the very edge Eastern Europe, and the perilous lands surrounding it. In a place where unexplainable technology and supernatural creatures are prevalent, players will take on the role of the romantically dark protagonist in this modernization of the legendary vampire killer. Featuring an immersive storyline, a memorable cast of characters, and a beautifully dark and gothic art style, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing looks to test the bravest hunters in Q4 2012.
