Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 is “finished” and will launch this year

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will be released in October 2025

It’s official: Paradox Interactive and The Chinese Room have confirmed that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 “is done.” The game’s developers have now shifted their focus entirely to bug fixing, stability, and performance ahead of the game’s launch. Now, the game’s due to be released in October 2025.

Around four years have passed since Bloodlines 2’s development was moved from Hardsuit Labs to The Chinese Room. The game is due to be released on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. The game uses Unreal Engine 5, though the project initially started as an Unreal Engine 4 game.

In this game, players will assume the role of a reawakened elder vampire in 21st-century Seattle. Players can choose one of several vampire clans to join, which will determine their vampiric abilities. Players must blend in with human society, secretly feeding on human characters while avoiding discovery. The game’s story involves a conspiracy within Vampire society, where several factions aim to exploit a power vacuum within the city’s vampire court

Hello Kindred,

We would like to share an update on the development and release window of Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines 2.

As Marco explained in the video (below), Bloodlines 2 will not be ready for release in the first half of 2025.

Paradox Interactive and The Chinese Room are committed to delivering this game, and we believe that ensuring great technical quality is more important than sticking to a specific date.

The game is currently in a late development stage, and feedback from the community has been taken into account during this time. TCR is working hard on quality assurance to ensure it is stable and free of bugs that could disrupt the player experience.

Bloodlines 2 will launch in October 2025 when the game meets the technical quality standards that you, our fans, rightfully expect and deserve. Please stay tuned for the game’s exact launch date.

We want to ensure that the content we share with you is high-quality and showcases exciting game features. With this updated release timeline, we will pause our development diaries so that the team can concentrate on refining the game.
