Vampire RPG 'Dark' announced for the PC and consoles for 2013

Kalypso Media have announced 'Dark', a new vampire role-playing game which will be available for the PC and consoles in the first quarter of 2013.

Described as a stealth-action game with RPG elements, 'Dark' sees players assume the role of Eric Bane, a new vampire who wakes up at the beginning of the game in a blood-suckers club with only fragmentary memories. It’s then up to the player to discover his past, fight through a dark and modern world, and utilize his “powerful vampire abilities.”

Eric can teleport instantly to enemies to eliminate them with a single deadly finishing move or dissolve into smoke to surprise opponents. For a successful hunt however, it is centrally darkness and shadows which players must use to their advantage to make a kill.

In the game players can also meet up with other vampires, improve your character and develop impressive skills. Players can also use upgraded hard-hitting melee attacks to defeat dangerous enemies such as police, elite soldiers, ghouls and vampires.

Dark will be playable at the Role Play Convention in Cologne this weekend, more details about the game are expected to follow.
