Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II - Features Revealed

More information about the features of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II has been released. We have been promised a "true sequel" taking the best parts of the first game and combining them with new features as well as the snappy dialogue and cheeky humour we have come to expect.

Below is the list of features:

• Three Playable Classes - Players will be able to choose between a Hunter with shooting and melee skills, a magic wielding Thaumaturge or an Arcane Mechanic, master of deadly devices.
• The return of the Hunter's Lair - The popular hideout is used for players to store collected loot, trade with non-playable characters, teleport between locations, forge new items, utilize the alchemy lab and accept new quests from allies is back.
• Extended tower defense mini-game –  Defend your Hunter's Lair with traps and upgrades to ward off evil. The mini game has improved mechanics and offers 7 levels as optional side quests.
• Resistance management – Players will now participate in the micromanagement of the allied troops, improve the equipment of the Resistance fighters or find loot that makes them more powerful.
• Rage system – This enables players to charge up to three skill modifiers called Power Ups on 8 active skills by way of spending Rage points.
• Unique companion system – Lady Katarina, a ghost with snappy wit, comes to the support of Van Helsing with her own set of abilities, behaviors, and two skill trees.
• Fragmentation system – A new system working alongside forging, enchanting and infusing items with essences fragmentation allows artifacts to be taken apart and shattered into magical fragments. The process generates a basic shard, and then the enchantments also dissolve into separate fragments. Fragments can be turned into purely magical runes that can be altered and put on new items, changing them into various new powerful artifacts.
• The Beast in the Lair - The Chimera is a unique creature that players will find during their adventures, claim as theirs, enhance its abilities and summon it into combat or send away to the Ink to hunt for treasure.
• Hall of Trophies - Players can decorate their Lair with trophies that give global modifiers to the game world, like empowering monsters, granting more spellpower to all allies or turning Katarina into a more lethal ghost.
• Multiplayer – Allowing players to test their skills against each other via the PVP mode (8 players) or join their forces and complete the story in the co-operative campaign (4 players).

A release date for the game has yet to be confirmed.
