Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2's second delay came in August 2020, pushing its release date into 2021. Senior Product Manager Florian Schwarzer told us, later in the month, that the delay happened because Bloodlines 2 'is a big game with a lot of content' and the team behind it wanted to make sure that it gave it the proper attention. In September 2019, the publisher announced that Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 would not be playable at that year's PDXCON, but that all attendees would get a free copy of the game.ĭays prior to PDXCON starting, the game suffered its first delay, having its release date pushed back to some point beyond Q1 2020. Throughout 2019, Paradox Interactive and then-developer Hardsuit Labs shared quite a bit of information regarding the Thinblood disciplines, five joinable clans and factions, as well as an E3 2019 gameplay trailer that gave us a good look at the first-person action-RPG. It was then given a Q1 2020 release window, alongside the first set of details about it, including its Seattle setting, the fact that players would start out as lesser vampires, and its emphasis on gameplay choice. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 was announced in March 2019 after being teased a month prior through soulmate-searching app Tender. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Announcement
