The much-anticipated Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 faces another delay, with its new release window set for October 2025. This news comes directly from the game's official Twitter (X) account, accompanied by a video update from Executive Producer Marco Behrmann. In the video, Behrmann shares, "The status of the game right now is that the game is done. We are currently working on bug fixing, stability, and performance so we can deliver the best experience to you guys once it releases."

Paradox Interactive has been keeping the community engaged with regular Dev Diaries over the past few months, covering aspects like characters, stories, and mechanics. However, to prioritize the game's quality, all future Dev Diaries will be paused as the team focuses on polishing the game.

Originally unveiled in March 2019, Bloodlines 2 was initially set for a March 2020 release under the development of Hardsuit Labs. However, the game faced its first delay in October 2019, pushing the release to an unspecified date in 2020, and then further to 2021. Amid these delays, several key team members departed the project. In February 2021, Paradox Interactive announced a significant change: Hardsuit Labs would step down, and The Chinese Room would take over development. Subsequent release expectations shifted from late 2024 to the first half of 2025, and now to late 2025.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is slated to launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For the latest updates and more detailed information about the game, be sure to check out our dedicated article below!
