Vampire: Bloodlines 2 – The Independent Revival: October 2025 Release
The development of Bloodlines 2 has faced significant challenges. An initial version, handled by another studio, was eventually scrapped. The Chinese Room took over the project in 2019. This marked their most ambitious undertaking to date and signaled a new independent phase for the studio. This October release culminates a 21-year wait for the game.

| Official Name | Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 |
| Brief Summary | Enter the night as one of several humans inexplicably attacked in a Mass Embrace, suddenly thrown into the dangerous and ruthless vampire politics of Seattle. Tensions between the factions in Seattle are at an all-time high, and this unsanctioned attack throws the status quo into chaos. An inquest is called in order to get to the bottom of the mystery, and you’re the star witness… whether you like it or not..
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is the successor to the iconic RPG Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Set in a Seattle faithfully reimagined in the World of Darkness, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 features reactive storytelling, fast-paced melee combat, and intriguing characters with their own hidden motives. Created in an act of vampire insurrection, your existence ignites a blood war among the vampire factions who run Seattle. To survive, you’ll choose a clan and enter into uneasy alliances with competing factions in a world which will react to every choice you make. Unleash your supernatural powers against your prey, but be mindful of your surroundings at all times or run the risk of breaking the Masquerade (the absolute law of secrecy that keeps Vampire society hidden from humanity). |
