Following the announcement by developer The Chinese Room and publisher Paradox Interactive that two playable clans in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, specifically the Toreador and Lasombra, would initially be available only through a $21.99 DLC pack on release day, fans of the series have expressed significant disapproval. In response to this backlash, Paradox has announced that they will be altering their plans regarding the locking of these clans within the Shadows and Silk DLC, which is also included in the game’s $99.99 Premium Edition.
Based on a community manager’s announcement, it seems that Paradox Interactive may decide to include the two clans in the main game instead of offering them as a day-one DLC. Further details about this change in strategy will be shared by the company as soon as they become available.
As a dedicated fan, I’m excited to share that based on your valuable feedback regarding the Lasombra and Toreador clan access, we’re making necessary changes before our launch to ensure a better gaming experience. I promise to keep you updated with details about these adjustments shortly. In the meantime, mark your calendars! Tomorrow at 17:00 CEST, we’ll be revealing more of the game on Twitch – can’t wait for you to join us!
In the universe of Vampire: The Masquerade, clans serve a role similar to character classes in other RPG games. These clans significantly influence a vampire’s character, affecting aspects from their social status to more game-influential factors like starting abilities and stats. For instance, the original Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines showcases seven unique clans, two of which boasted exclusive gameplay and narrative elements – Malkavian and Nosferatu, each offering a distinctive gaming experience.
Initially, the release of “Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2” is expected to include a total of six clans. Four of these clans will be accessible in the standard version, while the remaining two will be part of the Shadows and Silk Downloadable Content (DLC). Specifically, the base game will offer the Brujah, Banu Haqim, Tremere, and Ventrue clans, and the Lasombra and Toreador clans will be exclusive to the DLC.
It was predictable that this decision would face resistance from fans of the original “Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines,” as well as enthusiasts of the tabletop RPG upon which the games are modeled. Clans are a fundamental element in the setting, and they offer fresh narrative and gameplay possibilities within the tabletop version. In the initial “Bloodlines” game, the player’s specific clan significantly influenced the types of missions available, with certain clans even receiving exclusive objectives that hinted at the broader plotline of the game.
The role-playing game titled “Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2” is set to arrive on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, following a challenging production phase that included shifting development teams. After much anticipation, the game will be officially released on October 21. To learn more about its features, watch the detailed video published earlier this month, or take a look at the trailer highlighting the 1920s detective Fabian’s intriguing narrative.
