The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut - Megapull_Neocore
Updates to The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client (in on-line mode) is restarted.
New Global Event: Lycantrope Hunt
Vrikolaks are fierce man-beasts with strong territorial instincts. The rapid industrialization of modern Borgovia led to the deforestation of the Thunderhead Mountains and the shapeshifter tribes lost their hunting grounds. They have also been forced into a constant battle for survival. The Vrikolaks are, understandably, furious. They don't care that Professor Fulmigati is gone, they are busy unleashing their mindless rage on the population of the metropolis. The Vrikolak attacks reached the level where they've left no other choice: they must be hunted down until they learn the lesson.
Scenarios now spawn Vrikolaks of various strength among regular monsters
Hunt down a thousand Vrikolaks to get to their leader
Fight the Scarred Beast-King for epic rewards
After every 1000 kill, a new Vrikolak leader will arrive
Conquer the leaderboard by slaughtering as many Vrikolaks as you can!
Event goes live at 19:00 CET.
