Announced in March 2019, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is still waiting. Edited by Paradox Interactivethe role-playing game was originally developed by Hardsuit Labsbut the studio was excluded from the project, and it is The Chinese Room who is in charge of completing the project.
The title is not expected before a year, suffice to say that fans of Vampire: The Masquerade will have to be patient, but the studios still decided to resume a more traditional promotional rhythm, which is reassuring. Recently, Ben Matthews, associate art director on the game, published a long post on the official website of the game to evoke its visual direction, very inspired by Neo-Noir. Modern but neon-lit environments, with dark locations, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will look like Blade Runner, The Neon Demon Or John Wickbut with vampires in Seattle, and the game uses as a reminder theUnreal Engine 5.
If this is too vague for you, the developers share some images of the game’s environments, the atmosphere is already palpable. And in order to immerse us even more in this dark and fantastic universe, the studios share a first music which will serve as the main theme to Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. The title Midnight was written by Michel Zitron, Paulina Palmgren and Joakim “Jarly” Jarl, it is very electronic and quite slow, we are far from what Rik Schaffer was able to offer for the first part, with a title with haunting melodies. Fans can rest assured, Rik Schaffer will still be back to compose the soundtrack for this sequel.
