Victor Vran Announced, Teaser Trailer

Action-RPG lovers have another title to look forward to, as German publisher EuroVideo Medien has announced Victor Vran, a title developed by Haemimont Games, a studio mostly known for its work on the Tropico series. The title aims to offer a slightly more action-based take on the genre and is going to include a jumping mechanic along with a number of unspecified combat maneuvers. For now, the title has only been announced for PC, though other platforms should be announced closer to the Summer release, which will be preceded by an Early Access stint.

Tropico developer Haemimont Games launches action-RPG ‘˜Victor Vran’ this summer in partnership with publisher EuroVideo

Refreshes the genre with game-changing weapons, outfits, and jumping

SOFIA/MUNICH (February 6, 2015) Victor Vran will slay its way onto PC and other platforms to be announced this summer in cooperation between Bulgarian veteran independent studio Haemimont Games, best known for the Tropico series, and publisher EuroVideo Medien. The team’s goal is to bring a fresh perspective to the genre by adding a broad range of equipment and special moves that drastically change combat, along with a simple, but game-changing, jumping mechanic that separates itself from many titles in the action-RPG genre.

(It all started with a simple idea: let’s put the ‘˜action’ back in the action-RPG genre,) says Gabriel Dobrev, CEO and founder of Haemimont Games. Victor Vran is the first action-RPG from the experienced team, and was introduced to a select audience behind closed doors at Gamescom 2014 in Cologne, Germany.

Victor Vran lets the player decide how he or she wants to play the game. Players can forge their own personal version of Victor thanks to a vast array of powerful weapons, game-changing outfits, wicked demon powers and fate cards. Use special moves, combine skills and weapons to wipe out hordes of hideous beasts and clever boss monsters.

Slaying demons doesn’t have to be a lonely affair team up with friends online and explore the story of the dark world together in a full co-op experience.

Prior to final release, Victor Vran will be available via Steam Early Access. Haemimont Games invites players to take part in development and join forces with the team in the weeks before release. The game will be nearly complete when it enters Early Access with plenty of time to respond to community feedback and ideas.
