FOX21 and DONTNOD Entertainment have reached an agreement allowing FOX21 to make a television series based on the game, “Vampyr” that came out back in June. We believe it is a fantastic premise for a television show.

The game’s difficulty depends on the actions players take to earn XP to raise the stats of Jonathan Reed, the game’s protagonist.
