A brief update on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 was provided by Paradox Interactive during the company’s Q3 2021 interim report. More specifically, Chief Financial Officer Alexander Bricca replied to a question about it during the Q&A section, stating that the project is progressing well though it’ll still be a while before it’s out.
As you might recall, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 was first delayed out of its original 2020 release window, then it was postponed indefinitely and its developer, Hardsuit Labs, replaced with another.
The new developer is doing quite well and we are happy with the progress of the project now, but it’s still quite some time before we can start to talk about release dates. We prefer to give the studio a situation where they can focus fully on the game development and not having to address fans reaching out to them. So, therefore, we have so far not disclosed the name of the studio and we are very happy to keep it that way for still some time.
Last month, Paradox Ceo Fredrik Wester confirmed that the game was once at serious risk of cancellation after Hardsuit Labs was removed from the project.
Vampire: The Masquerade fans will at least be able to play Big Bad Wolf’s Swansong narrative RPG in February 2022, and there’s also the Battle Royale game Bloodhunt coming out early next year on PC and PlayStation 5.
