Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, the much-anticipated sequel in the iconic RPG series, has been pushed back once more, with a new release window set for October 2025. This latest delay was announced via the game's official Twitter (X) account on March 26, accompanied by a video update from Executive Producer Marco Behrmann. In the video, Behrmann shared, "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."
Paradox Interactive, the game's publisher, has been actively engaging with the community through Dev Diaries over the past few months. These updates have covered various aspects of the game, including characters, stories, and mechanics. However, to ensure the highest quality upon release, all Dev Diaries will be paused so that the development team can focus on refining the game.
Paradox Focusing on Bug Fixing, Stability, and Performance
The decision to delay Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 until October 2025 stems from a commitment to delivering a stable and polished gaming experience. The developers are dedicating their efforts to bug fixing and enhancing the game's stability and performance, which is crucial for the immersive experience fans expect from this sequel.
First Revealed in 2019
Originally unveiled in March 2019, Bloodlines 2 was initially scheduled for a March 2020 release under developer Hardsuit Labs. However, the project faced several setbacks, with the release date being pushed back to an unspecified date in 2020, and then to 2021. Amidst these delays, multiple key team members departed from the project. In a significant shift, Paradox Interactive announced in February 2021 that Hardsuit Labs would no longer be involved, and development would be handed over to The Chinese Room. Since then, the game's release has been rescheduled multiple times, from late 2024 to the first half of 2025, and now to the end of 2025.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is set to launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in October 2025. Fans eager for more information can keep up with the latest developments by checking out our article below!
