Action RPGs are a common breed in the gaming genre, but good aRPG are pretty rare. Since Diablo and Torchlight raised the bar so high, few other games in the same genre managed to get up a notch.

The folks of Neocore have tried something in the action RPG style and the result is The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. It’s a pretty decent aRPG with a nice background story and amazing artwork.

Now, the folks over at Haemimont Games have just announced that their new project called Victor Vran will be released sometime during this summer, with a Steam Early Access release in the next weeks.

Haemimont Games is a small developer known for the Tropico series of games. It looks like they have decided to step out from their comfort zone and launch a game that is atypical for them.

An action RPG coming from a studio that mostly worked on strategy games is a bit unusual, but not unheard of. Creative Assembly did a similar move when switching from the Total War franchise to Alien, thus dropping the strategy genre in favor of action horror.

The announcement of Victor Vran comes along with a 1-minute teaser that shows some of the action. There is little info on the game for the moment, but we do know Victor Vran will offer both single and multiplayer. The latter will be available in two modes: co-operative and competitive.

The game will be launched on "other platforms" as well

Players will be able to customize the protagonist with different types of weapons, abilities and fate cards. Apart from that, the game should feature a ton of loot dropping from monsters that populate the world of Victor Vran.

As mentioned earlier, Victor Vran, who strongly resembles the legendary Van Helsing, will be launched this summer, but you will be able to get it in the coming weeks on Steam Early Access.

Haemimonth Games has yet to confirm whether or not it will bring their game to consoles as well, but they did say it would available on “other platforms” soon after the PC release.
