Paradox Interactive has announced that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been once again delayed. Not only that, but Hardsuit Labs will be no longer working on it, and there is currently no ETA on when it will come out.
As the publisher stated:
“We have made the hard decision that Hardsuit Labs will no longer be leading the development of Bloodlines 2. This also means that we will not be releasing in 2021 as previously planned. Since we cannot at this time communicate a new release date, we’ve also decided to stop accepting pre-orders for the time being.
This game is very important to us and it has been an ambitious project from the very start. In order to meet our goals for it, we’ve come to the conclusion that a change is needed and, as a result, more development time is required.”
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been in development hell for a while. Its first delay came in October 2019. Then, in August 2020, Paradox announced a new delay and release date.
It’s also worth noting that in December 2020, Paradox’s CEO hinted at another delay.
It will be interesting to see which studio will resume development. It will also be interesting to see whether the new game will be anything similar to the game that Hardsuit Labs has been working on. In other words, will we have another “Prey” situation?
Stay tuned for more!

Why were they used in the first place?
Every time there’s ‘news’ about this game, the dumpster fire grows larger.
might as well just can this s*** and be done with it..
yep
What a dumpster fire. Unbelievable.
Hardsuit are morons anyway. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d846e80a39dc3876dcb7854b545fef5b520da90e05634b9e4b85d54dd6b07439.png
A goddamned crime, could have at least give private servers.
Damn autocorrect…. “Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Cancelled* again, not releasing in 2021″. There. Fixed it for you, Johnny.
Considering how little I hear about this game I’m not surprised, you can usually tell when a big budget title is going to be released because they start releasing more content about it. The less you hear about a game of this magnitude the worse things are because that means marketing has little positive to say about the game.
After what happenned with CP2077 i prefer to wait longer.
I think they are thinking the same
yeah 100% this. They probably freaked out realizing how piss poor their sh*t looking product would do so decided to go back to the drawing board. Good for them. They were absolutely going to deliver a steaming pile of sh*t.
you’re wasting your time, this is a shet game at its core.
yep should just play the original game with graphics mods.
Just give it to Japanese developer so there’s no bulky muscle wahmen character that western Dev always made recently…
well if you plan on playing it on PC then i’d have to pass on Japanese developers.
just let sega port it to pc. they always make good pc ports.
That’s the western division of Sega that makes good ports, the japanese can’t PC to save their god damn lives. The PC isn’t a thing in Japan, the console or handheld.
PC I agree, console I also agree IF you dont count the switch as a hybrid. But Handheld is EVERYTHING in japan. The sales data dont lie.
PC is becoming more and more popular in Japan.
What a trainwreck
As VTMB is my all time favorite RPG, my heart bleeds for the sequel, WTF is wrong with these A Hos. Just get your effing sh*t together and just dont F this up.
Mediocre at best (being nice here) with what they showed so far,but don’t hold your breath for something truly good to come out of it
God. At this rate i will sell my gaming pc and buy some Nintendo console. Cuz they are the only one who make good games in this day and age….
emulators nibba
nintendo consoles = 4 ok exclusives no different then the previous games that also never drop in price. hard pass
Kiddie trash game with cheap graphics, no voice overs, no special effects, no story and simplistic gameplay? Thats nintendo
TRAINWRECK
This is the new Dead Island 2…it will never happen (and the footage showed previously was awful)
this game was doomed to failure when c*nts gender studies degrees were put in charge.
I bet if this was a battle royale or a cod-like shooter it would be done and released already. Gaming truly is dead.
you also have to remember it takes alot less work to make a battle royal game.
this game was doomed from the start. it’s a sequel to a game nobody gave a f### about. guarantee one day they will just s### it out whatever they came up with and it will be pure fire trash and the few ppl that couldn’t get refunds will be crying online how it’s actually somewhat pretty good if you play on the hardest difficulty because blah blah struggling to find a single crumb of validation to make me feel better about deez small nuts and hurt feels blah blah… you didn’t play it a specific way so you don’t understand teh game… blah blah…
VTMB was released on the same day as Half Life 2 and it was filled with bugs. Some game breaking bugs. It also went up against Far Cry, Doom 3, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay and World of Warcraft and several other good games that year. That is why it sold so poorly. It has been patched over and over by Wesp to this day and is now a cult classic and a must play imo.
Having said all of that I am wondering if this game is going to end up cancelled permanently.
obviously you haven’t taken the time to play the original VtM:B or even give it a try. needs the patch by Wesp, who is insanely dedicated. I asked a question about a bug a couple years ago and he responded within like 5 hrs.
given the way you write and your hilariously limited perspective, RPGs with adult themes, nuance, and yes, a bit of jank… clearly aren’t your speed. odds are you’re just trolling, but good Lord. your inner child just won’t stop pouting, huh?
I own the game. It f###n sucked. Your the one pouting since my personal opinion hurt your child feels.
The only good news on a sea of bad news is Cara Ellison leaving in 2020.

Bloodsuckers 2 are now done for certain.
Good vampire games are very rare, I seriously hope they do a good job with this one.
you should have preordered it to save it.
