A couple of month in the past, it was introduced that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 would solely function 4 totally different clans in its base recreation, with two further clans coming as day one DLC. This, unsurprisingly, was acquired like a moist fart on a scorching Sunday at church, with writer Paradox later saying that they might make “changes” primarily based on the response. And as confirmed in a press launch and new trailer, mentioned changes are the truth that these two clans, Lasombra and Toreador, will probably be included within the base recreation at launch.
“Due to our group for the frank suggestions on Bloodlines 2 and the Premium Version. That suggestions made it clear: Lasombra and Toreador belong within the base recreation, so that’s what we’re doing,” mentioned Bloodlines 2 government producer Marco Behrmann in an announcement. Behrmann additionally thanked developer The Chinese language Room for his or her “fast turnaround on the ideas for the post-launch story packs.”
This new trailer additionally confirmed off a few mentioned story packs, Free Cannon and The Flower & The Flame. These will apparently allow you to play as Camarilla Sheriff Benny Muldoon and Primogen Ysabella Moore, respectively, and can each be launched in 2026. You will get them both by the sport’s premium version, or as particular person items of DLC. I would additionally prefer to level out that the trailer makes it very clear what’s and is not base recreation content material, because it says as a lot in a bit of label on the highest proper of the video. Actually appears like Paradox wished to be as clear as doable this time round.
Regardless of a number of delays, it is not lengthy till Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 really launches now, because it’s due out subsequent month, October twenty first.
