Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has been delayed again, this time until the first half of 2025
I'm surprised it's not cancelled yet.
I think at this point its development is even more troubled than the original, which is kinda impressive in its own way.
This is at least the second attempt to make VTMB2. The original version by Hardsuit Labs was entirely scrapped and restarted at The Chinese Room.
I spoke to the new devs at PAX last year and they said they were only reusing assets from the Hardsuit Labs version and otherwise completely making a new game from scratch.
This new version has only been publicly announced since late 2023, although it probably started development sometime in late 2021/early 2022.
Right, that's why I'm not convinced this will ever actually release.
Abandoning all previous work, and the fact that new devs don't exactly have experience with this genre...
I'm still gonna give it a try, but I'm not hopeful.
It's such a terrible shame that we had Brian Mitsoda and Rik Schaffer back and actually working on a sequel and none of it will see the light of day. Say what you want about Mitsoda's thin-blood protagonist idea (I'm not a fan) but watching the trailers of that" version of the game you can at least see the lineage of the original.
It's pretty close to a Duke Nukem Forever situation at this point.
