While no longer with the project, some of the developer’s efforts are expected to factor into the game’s new direction, but specifics are currently unclear. The development of Vampire The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been a particularly rocky one as multiple delays and pandemic-related challenges culminated with the departure of Hardsuit Labs. “We have very good hopes that it will be a good game that meets the players’ expectations.” Speaking with Swedish website Nyhetsbyrån Direkt (via VGC) on the title’s dramatic developer void, Wester recalled the “long review” had by decision-makers regarding whether or not to “close the production completely.” However, hope for Bloodlines 2 was renewed after the team was presented a “pitch,” they felt “was convincing enough to run.” Now, several months later, the World of Darkness-set RPG is indeed confirmed to be in development as evidenced by a recent interview with Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester. However, development took a major blow when studio Hardsuit Labs suddenly exited the project back in February, leaving the state of the Bloodlines follow-up in a very mysterious state as publisher Paradox Interactive searched for a “new studio partner” to complete the unfinished title.
Up until earlier this year, the long-awaited supernatural sequel Vampire The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 was expected to quench the thirst of fans sometime in 2022.
