Fang-tastic news! We’re excited to reveal that our award-winning studio The Chinese Room is developing the highly-anticipated Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 with publisher Paradox Interactive.

Bloodlines 2 is the successor to the 2004 cult-classic Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines and takes players to the dark underbelly of Seattle, where vampires struggle for survival and supremacy.

As an Elder vampire, players meet compelling characters, manoeuvre complex political relationships, and stalk the city streets for prey – engaging in intense combat while balancing the need for blood. Throughout the game, players must always be mindful of their surroundings or risk breaking the Masquerade – the absolute law of secrecy that keeps vampire society hidden from humanity.

“Vampire: The Masquerade holds a special place in our hearts. The story world’s dark setting filled with intricate narratives built on top of modern society perfectly fits our studio’s catalogue,” Ed Daly, Studio Director at The Chinese Room, said. “Bloodlines 2 is our most ambitious project to date. Fans of the franchise have been eagerly awaiting this game, and we are up to the challenge.

“We are bringing more than 15 years of award-winning experience to the project, creating a game that honours the legacy of its predecessor while bringing its gameplay to the modern era.”
