It looks a little different than it did a few years ago? There’s been radio silence since Paradox started over with the new devs. This game has had a really troubled production, I think Paradox has been trying to get it off the ground since 2015. Now it’s being done by The Chinese Room, most known for Dear Esther and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.

Bloodlines is one of my favorite games of all time, so I’m trying to stay optimistic that the devs also hold it in high regard and will try to make a worthwhile sequel. The gameplay from this new trailer looks a little clunky and weird, but maybe that’s ok. VTMB never had great combat in the first place. The dialogue, writing, and vibes are where it’s at. Looks like there will be gliding around and parkour stuff? Might be cool.

Anyone looking forward to this game? There’s even a release window, Fall of 2024, but this game was supposed to originally release in March of 2020, so don’t hold your breath.

    This is just gonna be European Vampires vs Kuei-Jin yellow peril bullshit from the last game isn’t it?

      Yeah, as much as I love the first game, I can’t deny two things: It’s racist and it’s too horny. Despite taking place in Los Angeles, there’s only one Latino character with a name: Nines Rodriguez. And the last third of the game is a literal yellow peril plot with scary Asian vampires who can’t be trusted by anyone. And they all talk with racist stereotypical accents. Allying with the Kuei-jin is one of the worst endings too.

      spoiler

      The Anarchs and Camarilla will all attack you on sight if you ally with the Kuei-jin, and then you’re betrayed anyway and you’re thrown into the ocean.
