Paradox Interactive and The Chinese Room have announced that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will be released in October 2025. According to the teams, the game has been delayed so that it can meet the technical quality standards that its fans expect.
Right now, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is in a late development stage. In other words, the game is not in development hell. Instead, TCR is working hard on quality assurance to ensure it is stable and free of bugs that could disrupt the player experience.
Now I don’t expect Bloodlines 2 to be bug-free. However, it should at least be in a better state than the first Bloodlines game.
In Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, you get to explore the World of Darkness and climb the ranks in the vampire world. The game takes place in Seattle, a city full of fascinating and sometimes dangerous people and groups. This sequel to the beloved classic lets you make choices that can shake up the balance of power.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will be powered by Unreal Engine 5. And while it will use UE5, it won’t be exclusive to Epic Games Store. Thus, you can expect to see it on Steam on launch day.
Finally, 505 Games shared the following video. This video packs a few gameplay sequences. So, if you are looking forward to it, you should at least check it out.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
