FULL STORY
======================================================================

Good news, vampire fans  we finally have (another) release window for 
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 and a new development studio has taken 
the helm: indie darling The Chinese Room. 

The news came during PAX West, and whilst it didn't quite come with a finite 
release date, we got the next best thing: a fall/Q3 2024 release window. Oh, 
and a snazzy trailer, too  check it out below: 

If you're intrigued but reluctant to pre-order until you see more, you won't 
have too long to wait  The Chinese Room says that we can expect a "gameplay 
reveal" in January 2024. 

" Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is very special to many, and we can 
finally reveal that we've been embraced by this adventure," The Chinese Room 
announced over the weekend. "We're crafting something incredible here, and 
are bloody excited to share more at last!" 

 Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 sees you play the central role in 
deciding Seattles future in an action-RPG "set amid a three-front siege on 
the City". 

"The old meets the new in a struggle for Seattle; will the most ruthless win, 
or is the third actor playing for an entirely different prize?" the team 
teases, confirming that  "for the first time in a Vampire: The Masquerade 
video game"  players get to role-play an elder vampire. 

" Bloodlines 2 takes players to the dark underbelly of Seattle, where 
vampires struggle for survival and supremacy," The Chinese Room explains. "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." 

The award-winning Chinese Room is based in Brighton, UK, and has an 
impressive catalog that includes Dear Esther, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, 
and Everybodys Gone to the Rapture . 

 Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 was first teased way back in 2019, 
and it's been something of a rollercoaster since until, in June, publisher 
Paradox Interactive begun refunding pre-orders for the game's physical and 
digital versions  whether they requested one or not.
