Things are very much up in the air, but here's everything we know about Vampire: The Masquerade—Bloodlines 2. Bloodlines 2 was originally scheduled for March and then was pushed back to an unspecified time later that year.

It eventually delayed into and was expected in the second half of the year. Its launch has now been delayed out of while Paradox replace Hardsuit Labs with a different studio to lead development. Bloodlines 2 might end up targeting a release window, but even guessing a year feels optimistic right now. According to a blog post by developer Hardsuit Labs, the decisions came as part of "organizational changes" to the development team. Speaking to Rock Paper Shotgun via email, Mitsoda said that he was "suddenly terminated" on July 16 and that "this came to [him] as a shock would be underselling it".

As of February , its Hardsuit Labs that's been fired. Bloodlines 2 publishers Paradox Interactive announced that the game would be delayed past while they change developers. It is fun though, set to Wayne Newton's Danke Schoen. Near the end you can spot some jumping across rooftops, a bit of telekinetic combat, and that bat swarm ability that you can find below in the Chiropterans skills.

Here's a 30 minute gameplay demo from Gamescom It gives a good sense for what it's like to roam around open Seattle and approach missions the way you want. The commentary from the two developers is also helpful for understanding what's going on at this point in the story. If you prefer, here's the version without commentary. The extended gameplay trailer from gives a look at a mission to track down a thinblood named Slug hiding in the Seattle underground along with a choice at the end on how to deal with him.

You can spot some vampire powers and regular old guns at play in between. We move on from the city of lost angels to the Pacific northwest—Seattle. Here, the vampire community has been fragmented, and several factions are vying for power all at once.

At the start of Bloodlines 2, your character is caught up in the middle of a mass embrace—a group of vampires kidnapping and forcibly turning humans into vampires. It's a huge no-no to even turn one human into a vampire without permission from a city's Primogen clan leader or Prince ruler of a city.

If you get caught, it usually means the final death for both the sire and their childe. The Camarilla was once the faction to keep things like that in-check, to punish vampires for breaking the Masquerade. But if things are that chaotic in Bloodlines 2, it seems like the Camarilla doesn't have the power it once had. In the new Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition roleplaying book, elder leaders of the Camarilla have disappeared, most having been called away by something called the Beckoning.

With many cities around the world now missing Primogens and Princes, their dominions are left open to rivals from opposing factions. Cities like Seattle are ripe for the taking, leaving the possibility for even a newly turned vampire to establish some power over a city. Given the controversy around the 5th Edition, it's hard to speculate how closely, if at all, Hardsuit Labs and Paradox will stick to that canon.

But I bet the mass embrace is the least crazy thing in store for us in Seattle. Hardsuit Labs estimates a single playthrough will take around hours, depending on your playstyle. Paradox also said during their clan Brujah reveal stream that if you play only the main questline without speed running, you'll get your first non-Thinblood powers roughly five hours into the game. Like the first game, there will also be a branching narrative and many side quests, so the developers encourage multiple playthroughs.

And, like Bloodlines, the entire game will take place at night. The unofficial patch added the ability to choose your character's background in the original game, but it did not have much effect on the overall story.

That's going to change this time around. No word on how much control players will have over the character creation process, but an integral element to the story is being able to choose who you were in your human life. If you say you were a cop or a coroner and you walk into a police station—the people in there are going to react to you differently compared to giving your character a different background.

Little things like that seem like they will make Bloodlines 2 a different, personalized experience for everyone, which is a great thing when it comes to RPGs. Paradox has confirmed the first five clans coming to Bloodlines 2. First revealed was the Brujah , which is one of the seven playable clans from the first Bloodlines game. In Bloodlines 2, there are few of them left in Seattle and the ones that remain are from the failed Anarch movement.

The Brujah are the rebels, rabble, and rejects in modern times. Historically, they were a clan of warrior scholars, but they have always been against institutions and authority, especially the Camarilla. They still follow The Masquerade, but as Smiling Jack put it in Bloodlines, you don't need to be a part of an institution to have common sense. Their powers include Potency and Celerity.

Second are The Tremere clan , a powerful group of warlocks that have learned to control and wield vampire blood, or Vitae.
