Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Delayed Again

The long-delayed Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has met yet another delay. The sequel to 2004’s immersive RPG was originally slated to release 2020 from developer Hardsuit Labs; it was then slated to release in late 2024 from The Chinese Room; the game has now been delayed to the first half of 2025.

“Our team at The Chinese Room will make the most of the time, to polish and ensure quality,” creative director Alex Skidmore said in a statement, “while several of the team members will be ready earlier, allowing them to work on things we might not have had time for but are really passionate about. For example we can now add more endings to the game, allowing it to be a more personal story.”

“[The extra development time] will be used to create a quality assurance buffer,” The Chinese Room said in a separate statement, “giving more time between testing and launch, ensuring we release the game when it’s ready. The extra time gives us an opportunity to adjust certain areas, such as Fabien, and incorporate other community feedback. We will also use the time to expand the game’s story, and now Bloodlines 2 will have more than twice as many endings as its predecessor.”

The adjustment to Fabien suggests that The Chinese Room may be downplaying the mechanics and presence of one of the most divisive and unpopular additions to the gameplay: a sarcastic, guiding voice in the player character’s head who offers hints and his own perspective on how to deal with matters.
