And with not a peep heard from Bloodlines 2 since, some may have begun to wonder if the project had perhaps found itself quietly cancelled after all. Paradox's final word on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 came last November, when the publisher said it was "happy with the progress" being made on the project, but explained it wouldn't be in a position to provide an updated release date for "quite some time". Watch on YouTube Here's how Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 looked back in 2019.Īmazingly, though, that wasn't the end of the Bloodlines 2 - despite Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester later admitting the publisher almost scrapped the project completely after that - and October brought news that, following a "persuasive" pitch, development was continuing at an unnamed, but "very reputable and talented" developer. Then, things went from bad to worse as 2021 got underway Paradox announced it had removed Hardsuit from the project, delayed the game indefinitely, and cancelled new pre-orders.
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the project to run into trouble and, later in 2019, Hardsuit Labs announced the first of several delays.īy the end of 2020, lead narrative designer Brian Mitsoda and creative director Ka'ai Cluney had been fired from their roles, senior narrative designer Cara Ellison had quit the project, and Paradox had revised Bloodlines 2's release date once more, pushing it into 2021.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, a sequel to developer Troika Games' much-loved 2004 cult-classic RPG, was initially announced for PC and consoles back in 2019, when it was expected to release the following year. It's been a long and eventful road for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, but despite its troubled development, which has included the removal of its original developer Hardsuit Labs, Paradox Interactive has popped up to assure fans that work continues on the project, although it won't be shown at the publisher's upcoming PDXCon.
