"Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has been delayed again, this time until the second half of 2025," Edwin wrote in March this year. Today I write: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has been given a full release date at tonight's Gamescom Opening Night Live, along with a fresh trailer.
To this point, the tale of Bloodlines 2 has been one of fan swearing induced by delays that have been a seriously regular occurence. Originally worked on by Hardsuit Labs, the game's current devs The Chinese Room have said they're going for more of a spiritual successor than straight sequel. As of that last delay earlier this year, they were also very keen not to release it in as buggy a form as another Paradox project, Cities: Skylines 2.
