Bloodlines 2 is getting a sequel!

It's set after the events of the first and looks to be hewing closer to 5th edition Vampire, so more distinct powers, thin bloods and probably no elders?

Bloodlines 2! Sequel to one of the best cRPG's of all time, being lead designed and written by the writers and designers of the original.

“It was very of its time,” Ellison said of the first game. “It approached certain topics differently. How we look at stuff has matured since then.” “It’s fifteen years later and things have changed,” Mitsoda said. “We have to be very sensitive about how we handle things like mental illness and that was a concern for us and for Paradox, in how we can make a mature story but if we do anything, we do our homework and make sure that we are punching up and not punching down.” “We talk about these issues constantly,” Ellison added. “Because we care about including people, we want them to feel powerful and sexy, and we don’t want them to feel like it’s not for them.”

Bloodlines 2! Fuck you, White Wolf, your branding isn't anywhere on this game!

Bloodlines 2! Hooray!

Well, this has gone pretty badly wrong. Expect a fairly incredible Jason Schrier article about what a clusterfuck this turned out to be in 2021. It's been delayed several times, the creative lead got fired, some rando from FarCry 2 is now in charge, and the other writers have been turfed out. The gameplay demos haven't set the world on fire and it's all starting to look very shit.

sad times.

Release date pushed back to 'outside of 2021', pre-orders are no longer being taken, and the developer has been kicked off the project. Hrm.
