With the release of a new trailer Paradox Interactive have confirmed that The Chinese Room are now developing Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, and that they expect to release the game in Fall 2024. The game is due to arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with the PC version launching on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG. 

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 was announced in 2019 and has gone through a difficult development cycle, with multiple delays and various controversies. Eventually, Paradox Interactive, the game’s publisher, decided to ditch the game’s original developer, Hardsuit Labs, and move the game to another, unannounced studio. Now, we know that this studio is The Chinese Room, the studio behind Dear Esther, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.

The Chinese Room has confirmed that they will have new gameplay to reveal for Bloodlines 2 in January 2024.
