Evaluation
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II launched on June 13, 2014 as the second entry in NeocoreGames' gothic action-RPG trilogy. The game received consistent post-launch support through late 2015, including new game modes, bug fixes, and a Mac port. The series concluded with Van Helsing III in May 2015, after which the developer explicitly stated they would return to patch the first two games — which they did through at least September 2015.
The final content addition was the Magic Pack DLC, released on October 4, 2016, a small cosmetic/utility pack. All four DLC items in the game's store listing are marked as released, with no unreleased content remaining. The developer confirmed in May 2015 (alongside Van Helsing III's launch) that Van Helsing III represented the conclusion of the trilogy. Van Helsing: Final Cut, released November 6, 2015, was a standalone compilation of the full trilogy marketed as the definitive package for the series.
There have been no developer communications about Van Helsing II since the Magic Pack release on October 4, 2016 — nearly a decade ago. No future content has been announced, no roadmap exists, and the studio has moved on to other projects. The game is a complete, finished product.
Evidence
Magic Pack DLC released — the final piece of paid content for Van Helsing II, offering enchantment discounts and a bonus helmet item.
Van Helsing III released as the final chapter of the trilogy. Developer noted they would return to patch Van Helsing I and II based on feedback, but described the trilogy as complete.

About this game
It all seemed so simple: defeat the mad scientist, free the land and ride into the sunset, but sometimes the fall of a villain only opens the way to more sinister foes. So the incredible adventures continue, and Van Helsing, the famous monster-hunter returns to save the day again with the help of his charming, ghostly companion, Lady Katarina. The gothic metropolis of weird science is on the brink of destruction as chaos rules the streets and a new enemy plots revenge. It’s time to enter the dark side of Borgova and the forbidden wilderness, but beware: you are not the only one behind a mask.
Main features
Main features
- Three playable classes – In the sequel to this gothic-noir adventure, you can choose from three very different classes: the classic Hunter with shooting and melee skills, the magic-wielding Thaumaturge or the Arcane Mechanic, the master of deadly devices, all included in the base game.
- Hunter’s Lair – The Lair returns in the sequel as your perfect hideout to stash collected loot, trade with non-playable characters, teleport between locations, forge new items, utilize the alchemy lab and accept new quests from allies who join the Resistance against the scientific scourge.
- Extended Tower defense mini-game – With enemies invading in waves, you have the opportunity to defend your Lair and other strategic locations with deployable traps and several upgradable functions to ward off evil, now with improved gameplay mechanics and up to 7 levels presented as optional side quests.
- Resistance Management – As the leader of the Borgovian Resistance, you will 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 – You can charge up to three skill modifiers called PowerUps on 8 active skills by way of spending Rage points collected from impressive feats.
- Unique companion – 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.
- Runecrafting – Besides forging, enchanting and infusing items with essences, you’ll have another option to alter items to your liking. Artifacts can be taken apart, shattered into magical fragments to 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, an artificial monster straight from the Ink. You can enhance its abilities and summon it into combat or send away to the Ink to hunt for treasure.
- Hall of Trophies - You can decorate the 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 – You and your friends can test your skills against each other via the PVP mode (8 players) or join forces and complete the story in the co-operative campaign (4 players).
