Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Delayed, Still Coming

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been delayed, in response to developer Hardsuit Labs (Paradox Interactive makes a cameo right here as writer). The sport, which builds upon the unique Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines launched means again in 2004, goals to supply a “deep, branching storyline; fascinating and amazingly acted characters; the rich universe of the World of Darkness” that may moreover be performed in both first or third individual perspective. According to the developer, pushing for a Q1 2020 launch would imply compromise in these areas, in addition to in polish for the ultimate model of the sport.

Of course, one different cause for the delay could be the truth that Q1 2020 is already jam-packed with heavy-hitting franchises and video games such because the massively awaited Cyberpunk 2077, the remastered Final Fantasy 7, The Last of us 2, and Doom Eternal, simply to call a number of. Perhaps the developer (and writer Paradox Interactive) noticed historical past at risk of repeating itself with the discharge of the unique Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, which went toe to toe with Half Life 2, Halo 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater – not the very best time to launch a sport. That resolution ultimately led to the shuttering of then-developer Troika Games. Expect the sport to nonetheless drop round 2020, although no agency launch date was set alongside the delay announcement.
