Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is considered nowadays a classic PC RPG. Created by Troika Games, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines was plagued by a number of bugs and issues that were resolved by its community. And according to Paradox’s CEO, the team is looking into a sequel.
Although nothing is set on stone yet, Fred Wester told PCGamesN that a sequel to Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is an obvious choice. However, Wester claimed that “it needs to feel right, it needs to be the right team […] for the game.” So yeah, while Paradox may be interested in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, it certainly is not working on it right now.
Wester also shared some additional details for some ongoing possibilities for the franchise.
“We are experimenting with a couple of the White Wolf brands right now,” but are aware that a new franchise can’t be immediately started from scratch (“if you’re going to build a big franchise you need to think in a seven-to-ten year cycle”) and that if the Vampire IP was to receive that kind of attention, “we need to know what the next ten years are going to look like.”

OMG! This is amazing news, I really hope it happens been waiting forever for it, I want to believe.
Lets hope Vampyr does really well, if it does I am sure they will pull the trigger on Bloodlines 2 for they will get a solid sign that their is a demand for rad Vamps games.
Question is will it use Source 2 or UE4?
Cool
Yes it was a great game fingers crossed for a sequel, and funnily enough I pre ordered Vampyr today as it is looking good and i’m a fan of true single player focused games.
Exactly! Nice, I pre ordered it for my PC as well, I also love SP games and the Vamp stuff and the videos to me looked epic. Really looking forward to Vampyr next month I think it will be awesome, so cool to see all the character progression stuff you get.
Well if Vampyr is good it will buy a lot of time for Bloodlines 2, maybe they will drop a logo/announcement at E3, I hope so.
have you played BloodLust Shadowhunter?
Thanks old friend! Never heard of it before but it looks like something I could definitely enjoy! I just like action-RPGs so much and can deal even with heavy jank.
you should check out the consortium too, it has that oldschool rpg role playing choice making system.
Yup that one I played already and indeed liked it very much. Can’t wait for The Tower!
Just don’t copy+paste gameplay mechanics and styles from your current games Paradox.
A Crusader Kings 2-like Vampire:The Masquerade game where you play as Vampire lord for a millenium, competing with other supernatural entities, while trying to make sure humanity won’t learn the truth would be amazing though
I’d love an AoE style VTM take on it as well.
The problem with that game wasnt so much the bugs as much as the horrible combat and crappy linear last chapter.
There is a vampire game on steam BloodLust Shadowhunter
They got rushed out the door the same week as HL2 because the publisher wanted it to be one of the first games to utilize the source engine. Combat was probably going to be more refined if they had the year extra they were supposed to have.
The game was a mess on release though. If not for Wesp’s dedication to fixing the bugs it might have stayed that way. Another thing was that some of the NPCs were alright but some were a hideous mess that still needed some work. iirc towards the end they were running out of money and were trying to finish the game with a skeleton crew.
Right, because I have faith in any developer/publisher to do this series any justice whatsoever these days.
What is it with people incapable of realizing the simple fact that, the people who made these old games you love so much? They aren’t working on these modern bastardizations as companies try to pinch a few pennies from a known property, and nostalgia.
“OMG! A name I recognize and love is getting a sequel! Surely it’s going to be incredible!”
Don’t hold your breath on this, you may very well not survive it.
Yep when i saw that some other team/studio was working on it. i said nah just leave it be. maybe a remaster that’s it.
Very disappointing. Why not start immediately after buying white wolf, what 2 years ago now?
So you’re disappointed that they didn’t make the game fast enough, and now that it’s talked about being made you’re b******* like a child?
Fast enough? No I’m disappointed that they haven’t even started yet. Did you bother to read the article?
Did you even bother reading what I said? You’re complaing that they didn’t immediately start working on the the game after purchasing the rights. Reading comprehension must not be your strong suit.
First off, immediately? It’s been almost three years dude. And second, no. I didn’t read what you said. I can only read what you write. And third I’ll feel however the hell I want to feel about it.
Who cares, they’re still making a game. Once again, your reading comprehension skills are a bit lacking, it’s ok don’t worry I’ll explain it for you. They had a few games that they were working on between Stellaris and Hearts Of Iron.
For the love of all that is holy please be good.
Please let Obsidian make it.
How about remaster the original games??
She’s giving me a Harley Quinn vibe.
Please hire NOBODY from that crappy Montreal outfit that produced the abortion known as Mass Effect: Andromeda. Especially not the writers. And please resist the recent push to make everything in gaming SJW-compliant. Respectfully.
