Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Developer Updates

Paradox Focusing On Bug Fixing, Stability, and Performance

In the latest video update, Bloodlines 2 Executive Producer Marco Behrmann shared that the game is essentially complete. However, the team is now channeling its efforts into bug fixing, stability, and performance enhancements. Behrmann emphasized, "The status of the game right now is that the game is done. We are currently working on bug fixing, stability, and performance so we can deliver the best experience to you guys once it releases." This focus on polishing the game underscores Paradox's commitment to delivering a high-quality experience to players.

Over the past few months, Paradox has been keeping the community engaged with Dev Diaries that delve into characters, stories, and mechanics. However, to prioritize the game's final stages, all Dev Diaries are being paused temporarily. This move allows the developers to concentrate fully on elevating the game to meet the expectations of its eagerly awaiting fanbase.

First Revealed in 2019

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 was first unveiled to the public in March 2019, with an initial release date set for March 2020. The game was initially developed by Hardsuit Labs, but faced its first delay in October 2019, pushing the release to an unspecified date in 2020, and then further to 2021.

During this period, the project saw several key personnel changes, culminating in February 2021 when Paradox Interactive announced that Hardsuit Labs would step away from the project. The baton was passed to The Chinese Room, who took over development. Under their stewardship, the game's release was anticipated for late 2024, then shifted to the first half of 2025, and now, finally, to October 2025.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is slated for release across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. To keep up with the latest developments and news about the game, be sure to check out our comprehensive article below!
