Summary
Following a string of delays, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, has received a full release date of 21 October 2025, at tonight’s Gamescom Opening Night Live event.
Developer The Chinese Room said it is producing a more spiritual successor than straightforward sequel to the 2004 original, and has stressed its desire to avoid releasing a buggy product, referencing fellow Paradox titleCities: Skylines 2.
The game’s appearance at Gamescom Keighleyfest 2025 includes a new trailer that showcases vampire-themed gameplay, which revolves around uncovering mysteries in Seattle with content centred on a mysterious figure waiting for ‘Phyre’ in a field surrounded by sunflowers.
The date of the release coincides with Halloween and Rock Paper Shotgun notes that the game’s troubled development, with a succession of delays, means that stakeholders will hope this date is not hit by further setbacks.
Fans of the original game, developed by Troika Games, will be interested in how this new release matches up to their experiences.
