by

The upcoming game *Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2* will include the Lasombra and Toreador clans from the start, according to Paradox Interactive, White Wolf, and developer The Chinese Room. These clans were originally intended to be available as paid downloadable content on release.

The companies revealed plans for two new Story Packs, “Loose Cannon” and “The Flower & the Flame.” These packs will let players experience the city of Seattle through the eyes of two different characters: Camarilla Sheriff Benny Muldoon and Primogen Ysabella Moore. Both are scheduled to launch in 2026 and are included with the Expansion Pass in the Premium Edition.

About the Game

I’m so excited for *Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2*! You play as Phyre, an Elder vampire, and the game takes place over nine nights in Seattle. It’s all about getting involved in the complicated vampire politics of the Camarilla and getting your full powers back. What’s really cool is that you’re guided by this character, Fabien – he’s a Malkavian detective, and his way of seeing the world is… well, a little broken, which makes things both interesting and creepy!

The story expands with new Story Packs, each focusing on important characters connected to Phyre’s adventure – Sheriff Benny and Primogen Ysabella. These packs add more depth to Phyre’s narrative and show Seattle’s shadowy underbelly from their perspectives, giving you a better understanding of what drives them and revealing new sides to the city’s secret conflicts.

In the game, players select from six different vampire clans, each offering a unique way to play, along with special abilities and appearances. These clans include the rebellious Brujah, the magically-gifted Tremere, the justice-seeking Banu Haqim, the influential Ventrue, the captivating Toreador, and the shadowy Lasombra. Players need to be careful and avoid exposing the existence of vampires to humans, as maintaining secrecy is the most important rule of vampire society.

The video game *Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2* will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. It will be available on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG.
