It’s been four years since Interactive paradox They announced that after a decade and a half they would be reviving one of the most popular vampire universes and creating Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2R. There was so much interest in the project, that a new studio team, Hardsuit Labs, began working on it. This fact alone quickly began to worry fans, and it wasn’t helped by the fact that although there was relatively high buzz around the game in the months following the announcement, what they saw didn’t really convince interested parties.
Then, in the fall of 2019, it was already clear that something was wrong with the project, as the premiere was postponed indefinitely. After that, the news sources were completely silent, and when they spoke, they could only say that the game would not be released in 2020, and then said the same thing about 2021 later. Along the way, the publisher fired the original developers, but for a long time it was not even known who could replace them.

New developer. This is only interesting because the studio has become known primarily for narrative adventure games and semi-walking simulators. In principle, Bloodlines 2 is set to be an RPG, and it’s very different from anything the team has worked on before.
In light of this, it is not surprising that this book has now been published New development record The construction on the project has changed a lot in recent years since they took over the development. The team wants to create a game where players truly believe they are vampires. The goal is to make them confident, true nocturnal predators.
This is also a key consideration when designing a combat system. Internal testers reportedly described it as “playing with food.” At the same time, it is also important that the focus is not only on battles, but also on other role-playing elements: getting a key card to get somewhere or turning on electricity to operate an elevator.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 may finally be in good hands, but of course you still can’t tell. On the other hand, the fact that we’re hearing about the game again after several years can definitely give us reason to be confident that it will slowly come to fruition.
