Armies of witch hunters battled the unnatural enemy across the globe for centuries, including Siegfried Van Helsing, a valiant warrior who managed to slay the all-powerful Dracula, decimating her followers in the process.

Today Siegfried is the only one of his kind remaining, and has spent centuries hunting down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost loved ones. However, unbeknownst to Van Helsing, Count Dracula is resurrected and seeks revenge on her killer causing an epic battle that will determine the survival of the human race.
