Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 gets a fresh release date

One of the major reveals from Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event centered around the long-awaited sequel Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2. In addition to a new trailer, the game got a fresh release date: October 21, 2025. This is not the first time the game’s gotten a release date. In fact, it’s had several — and an almost equal number of delays. However, Paradox Interactive and The Chinese Room seem determined to get Bloodlines 2 out before the end of the year.

The trailer shows fresh gameplay, including a showcase of several NPCs and the abilities of Phyre, the player character and a newly awakened Elder Kindred. Paradox also confirmed that Phyre will have the voice of a Malkavian detective named Fabian in their head; gamers can also play as Fabian during flashback sections to 1920’s Seattle for a neo-noir murder mystery.
