Paradox Interactive, White Wolf, and developer The Chinese Room released a new video recently for Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, taking a smaller deep dive into the various clans you'll come across in the game. In what feels like a must-do move for the team after the debacle over what clans would be in the base game, they've given you a better look at how those clans will play a role in the overall game. The six that they focus on in this trailer are Ventrue, Tremere, Brujah, Banu Haqim, Toreador, and Lasombra. You also get to meet Niko Angelov at Aurora Pawn as they go over clan affinities and Discipline. Enjoy the trailer above as the game will launch on October 21, 2025, for PC and consoles.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will let players experience nine nights in Seattle as Elder vampire Phyre, navigating the treacherous politics of the Camarilla Court and reclaiming their full vampiric powers. Along the way, Phyre is haunted and guided by the voice of Fabien, a Malkavian detective whose fractured perception of reality offers both insight and unease. The story continues with the Story Packs, each centering on a key Camarilla character from Phyre's journey: Sheriff Benny and Primogen Ysabella. These packs deepen Phyre's story and reveal Seattle's World of Darkness through their eyes, offering fresh insights into their motivations and new angles on the city's hidden power struggles.
Players can choose one of six clans in the base game, each with its own distinct playstyles, outfits, and Disciplines: the rebellious Brujah, blood sorcery masters Tremere, justice-driven Banu Haqim, the persuasive Ventrue, the enthralling Toreador, and the shadow master Lasombra. Players must remain mindful of their surroundings or risk breaking the Masquerade – the absolute law of secrecy that keeps vampire society hidden from humanity.
