GriffonSoft’s Van Helsing has arrived on Commodore 64, with Psytronik opening digital sales on 31st October 2026. The download costs $4.99 or more and includes tape, disk, cartridge and program-file versions of the eight-level adventure.
The story begins in London during autumn 1893. A gathering at the Harker house celebrates Jonathan’s return from Transylvania before a creature abducts Lucy Westenra. Van Helsing follows her into Dracula’s domain, with the rescue providing the thread through the scrolling stages.
Psytronik lists multiple collectible weapons among the game’s features. Ola Zandelin wrote the code, Dennis Gustafsson supplied graphics and inlay artwork, and Saul Cross composed the music and sound effects.
The release also credits Richard Bayliss for tape mastering, loading music and the cartridge introduction’s music. Martin Piper supplied tape-loader source, while Mike Robertson handled cartridge coding and the disk loader. Jason ‘Kenz’ Mackenzie produced the packaging.
Separate soundtrack downloads include music and remixes, while the digital bundle also contains artwork and printable disk sleeve and label material.
Alongside the download, Psytronik is taking pre-orders for a £44.99 Cartridge Collector’s Edition. The shop specifies January 2027 shipping, keeping the physical release separate from today’s digital availability.
That boxed cartridge contains the complete version, including cutscenes omitted from the streamlined tape and disk editions. The collector’s package also includes an illustrated manual, badge, keyring, soundtrack CD, stickers and an A4 art card. Buyers receive digital files with their physical order.
Psytronik lists PAL and NTSC compatibility, alongside support for the C64 Mini, Maxi and Ultimate.
The Van Helsing download page provides the digital bundle. Details of the boxed package and planned shipping are on the Cartridge Collector’s Edition page.
