Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will be released on October 21
At gamescom Opening Night Live, Paradox Interactive and White Wolf alongside the development studio The Chinese Room announced that the release of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is set for October 21, 2025.
In Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, players will experience the story through the eyes of two alternating characters: Elder Fyre and detective from the Malkavian clan, Fabien. After centuries of deep vampire slumber, Fyre awakens in modern Seattle with a mysterious mark sealing the Elder's power, and with Fabien's voice echoing in their head. Playing as Fyre (gender can be chosen during character creation), players will encounter vampires who dominate the city and are driven by various motives, in order to uncover Seattle's dark secrets and regain lost vampiric abilities.
By the way, it was revealed at a recent presentation that players will also be able to play as Fabien in a small part of the narrative. Together with fellow Kindred, players will experience a neo-noir murder mystery that threatens to change Seattle's modern vampire community.
Simultaneously with the release date, details were revealed about the digital editions Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Deluxe Edition and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Premium Edition.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Deluxe Edition: includes Santa Monica Memories, a cosmetic set with decor items inspired by the original game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, which will embellish Fyre's residence. The set will also be available for separate purchase.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Premium Edition: includes Santa Monica Memories and Shadows & Silk, a content expansion that allows players to choose the Lasombra and Toreador clans for Fyre. Each clan possesses unique abilities, playstyles, and clothing. The Shadows & Silk expansion will be available for separate purchase.
All additional materials in the Deluxe and Premium editions will be available immediately upon the release of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, which is set for October 21, 2025.
Between nights, during Fyre's daytime rest, dreams and voices from Fabien's past invade their consciousness. In Fabien's form, players will be transported to the neo-noir Seattle of the 1920s, while Malkavian character abilities will aid in uncovering the mystery of his murder. The investigation will not be easy: the distorted perception of reality characteristic of Fabien's Malkavian blood will hinder distinguishing facts from fiction.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is the sequel to the cult classic Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines (2004). Bloodlines 2 immerses players in the grim life of Seattle, where vampires struggle for survival and power. Players will encounter colorful characters, navigate complex political relationships, hunt prey on the city's streets, and engage in brutal battles, all while trying to suppress their thirst for mortal blood.
The base game includes four clans, each with its own playstyle, attire, and disciplines: rebellious Brujah, blood magic masters Tremere, justice-seeking Banu Haqim, and authoritative Ventrue. Players must be wary of their surroundings; otherwise, they risk breaking the Masquerade – the absolute law of secrecy that hides vampire society from humanity.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is now available for pre-order on Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation. Players can expect bonuses for their pre-order: the Bloodlines Nostalgia jukebox, a decor item for the Haven that includes a playlist featuring in-game music composed by the iconic composer of the original game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, Rick Shaffer.
