If you've stocked up on garlic, wooden stakes, and crucifixes in preparation for the upcoming wave of Dracula games, your first test is close at hand, as The Adventure Company announced today that Dracula: Origin has shipped to retailers in North America.

For those that don't take the legend quite as seriously, the game will supply all those items anyway, as Dracula: Origin casts players in the role of renowned vampire killer Professor Van Helsing. Already committed to killing the Count, now Van Helsing has a more immediate reason to stop Dracula before he discovers an ancient manuscript that can bring the soul of his beloved back from death.

Dracula: Origin will retail for $19.99 USD, and should be available in major stores soon. In the meantime, be sure to check out our recent hands-on preview and head over to the game's official website.
