The long road of development for The Chinese Room’s Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is finally at an end. The follow-up to the cult 2004 original is out now on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, as well as the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
“To finally launch Bloodlines 2 is a landmark moment for White Wolf and for Vampire: The Masquerade,” said Marco Behrmann, White Wolf Executive Vice President and Bloodlines 2 Executive Producer. “It carries forward the spirit of what came before while standing on its own as something new. The supernatural hunting grounds of Seattle are open to players, feeling both new and familiar in all the right ways. I want to thank the excellent team at The Chinese Room for their vision and dedication in shaping this world of modern horror. They’ve built something atmospheric, intelligent, and true to the dark heart of Vampire: The Masquerade.”
In Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, players awaken in 2024 Seattle as Phyre, an Elder vampire who many recognize as the mysterious Nomad, rumored to appear when change is imminent. Phyre must navigate the politics of the Camarilla Court to reclaim their full vampiric powers. Along the way, Phyre is guided by the voice of Fabien, a Malkavian detective whose fractured perception of reality offers both insight and unease. Six clans are available for Phyre, each with its own distinct playstyles, outfits, and Disciplines: the rebellious Brujah, blood sorcery masters Tremere, justice-driven Banu Haqim, the persuasive Ventrue, the enthralling Toreador, and the shadow masters Lasombra.
Throughout the wintry streets of Seattle, Phyre meets characters who test their trust and shape their path. Leaders of Seattle’s Camarilla Court maintain order and enforce the Masquerade, the absolute law of Kindred society that keeps vampires hidden from humanity. Beyond their influence, the Anarchs and the unbound, fight for survival and independence from the Camarilla’s iron grip. Phyre’s choices among these factions, guided by Fabien’s past, will ultimately define Seattle’s future.
Meanwhile, the two post-launch Story Packs, “Loose Cannon” and “The Flower & the Flame“, will launch in 2026 and are available in the Expansion Pass. These Story Packs allow players to explore Seattle through the perspectives of Sheriff Benny Muldoon and Primogen Ysabella Moore, respectively.
