Tropico and Omerta developer Haemimont is turning its attention to dungeon crawling for its next project.

The new project is called Victor Vran, presumably the name of the dude in the hat. Haemimont CEO Gabriel Dobrev told Joystiq the ARPG is expected in early 2014. Platforms were not announced, but presumably PC at the very least, given Haemimont's history.
