Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is an upcoming sequel to the widely-acclaimed Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. The game will be published by Paradox Interactive, a studio that published many great games like Surviving the Aftermath.
Similarly to the first Bloodlines game, Bloodlines 2’s protagonist will be a human revived as a vampire. This means that the players will likely have a high degree of freedom when customizing their character, compared to, say, Swansong. The downside is that the converted human’s vampiric abilities are less powerful – but this can be seen as beneficial from a design perspective, as it will allow for better character progression.
Not much is known about the game’s story just yet. It will begin with several vampires going rogue and converting humans en masse – our character being one of them. The story will explore how the life of the protagonist will be impacted by their sudden conversion, and how they will integrate into the vampiric world. The player character will be able to join one out of five vampiric clans – Brujah, Tremere, Toreador, Ventrue, and Malkavian. The original Bloodlines featured seven clans – but the developers promise to add more to Bloodlines 2 post-release.
The developers have stated that they plan to release Bloodlines 2 on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox One & Series X/S. Mac support is not planned – but with this guide, you will learn how to play Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 on Mac without any official support.
