Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 now has a firm release date confirmed, with the long-in-development action RPG set to launch on 21st October 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Check out the new trailer from Gamescom Opening Night Live:
The game will come with a $59.99/£49.99/€59.99 price point for the standard edition, while a Deluxe and Premium edition bumps that up to $69.99/£58.50/€69.99 and $89.99/£74.99/€89.99 respectively. What bonuses do you get? Well, the Deluxe Edition adds a Santa Monica Memories cosmetic pack inspired by the original game, while the Premium Edition then also adds the Shadows and Silk DLC, which bring the Lasombra and Toreador clans into the game as playable vampire types.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has had a very, very long journey through development. First announced back in March 2019 with Seattle-based developer Hardsuit Labs, the game’s development struggled to the extent that Paradox made the decision to pull the project from Hardsuit Labs and, after considering cancelling it outright, brought in The Chinese Room to reboot the game.
Bloodlines 2 was re-revealed in September 2023, the pitch and overarching story for Bloodlines 2 shifting compared to the originally revealed version of the game. Still set in Seattle, there’s a three-way power struggle for power in the Vampire Court, and in an intriguing shift, with protagonist Phyre cast as an Elder Vampire, capable of tapping into all the fantastical enhancements that each clan offers them. First expected for late 2024, release has slipped multiple times, though the most recent delay to October 2025 has finally stuck. Hurrah!
We’ve actually been hands on with the opening couple hours of the game in the run up to Gamescom, and there’s an intriguing blend of characters, dire situations and powerful vampire types. Check out our preview here.
