Publisher Paradox Interactive and developer The Chinese Room have released a new trailer for Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. The trailer reveals several characters of the Camarilla Court including Benny, Tolly, Safia, and Lou. It also reveals a short gameplay segment.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 was first announced back in March 2019, with an initial 2020 release date. However, the game was delayed to 2021 and it lost both its creative director and its narrative designer. The publisher then announced that Hardsuit Labs will no longer develop the game in February 2021.
The game’s details via the publisher:
The Chinese Room, a Sumo Digital studio, is developing the highly-anticipated Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. The Chinese Room brings their award-winning storytelling to Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, creating a high-quality Vampire: The Masquerade action RPG by talented developers with triple-A experience. Fans eager to sink their teeth into Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 can look forward to the gameplay reveal in January 2024 and its launch in fall 2024.
The Chinese Room is known for creating ground-breaking first-person titles that have won awards from BAFTA, TIGA, and more for their emotionally rich narratives. The studio’s world-class background makes them well-equipped to tell a Vampire story set in modern Seattle reimagined for a World of Darkness action RPG.
Bloodlines 2 is the successor to the cult-classic Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. Bloodlines 2 takes players to the dark underbelly of Seattle, where vampires struggle for survival and supremacy. As an Elder vampire, players meet compelling characters, maneuver complex political relationships, stalk the city streets for prey, and engage in intense combat while balancing the need for blood. Throughout the game, players must always be mindful of their surroundings or risk breaking the Masquerade—the absolute law of secrecy that keeps vampire society hidden from humanity.
