A sequel to the 2004 cult hit, the upcoming action-RPG Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has faced tumultuous development. It was originally being worked on by Hardsuit Labs, but the studio stepped away from the project back in 2021. After an extended period of silence on the game's progress, a brand-new trailer and gameplay reveal have reinvigorated fan excitement for the title.

World of Darkness, the company that created Vampire: The Masquerade, shared a spoiler-free gameplay trailer and an extended gameplay reveal for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. Both videos give fans an updated look at the game's basic mechanics, dialogue, graphics, and more. After the original development studio left the project, very few updates on the game's progress were shared with the public. However, with The Chinese Room announced as the new developer for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, it would seem development is moving steadily forward. There has still been no official teaser or confirmation on an expected release window, but many fans are hopeful that the new trailer and gameplay reveal are a positive sign for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2.

Brujah and Nosferatu are two of the prominent clans in Vampire: The Masquerade, along with Toreador, Malkavian, and more.
