The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II Release Date Announced, Pre-orders Open

Not only has Neocore Games announced the release date for their action-RPG sequel The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II, but they also have revealed their vaguely Kickstarter-like pre-order initiative, released a new trailer, and put together a feature comparison between the original and the sequel. We start with the trailer, as usual:



The skinny on it:

Some of you might already know the drill, some of you might be new, so let me give you a taste of what is ahead of us: last May marked the release of our first Action RPG, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, the first of three planned games, a steampunk trilogy set in a gothic-noir universe.
We never would have made it this far without you, at least not as an indie company.

Now the adventure finally continues and we are ready to announce the release date for the second installment in the Van Helsing trilogy, as well as open the pre-order for various supporter packages in various price ranges. There is still tremendous work ahead of us, but we are positive that the game will be released on April 17th

...

We ask you once again to show your generous support. It's quite easy, actually: purchase one of the special packs, and in return we will provide you with pack-exclusive materials as a token of our appreciation. These packs are to support our work and the dedication pays off: the higher the price range, the more exclusive the gift. See the list of packs below for more details:
