Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has cleared a big hurdle: the follow-up to a cult RPG 2004 RPG is finally, for real, "done." Now it just has to, you know, launch. As a long-delayed October 2025 launch approaches, former Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider hopes the hotly awaited sequel can tap into the same energy as RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, channeling the strengths of what inspired it and doubling down on what makes its world unique.
Speaking to PCGamesN, Gaider reckons "the hope is that we would get a new Vampire game in the same line as Expedition 33 or Baldur's Gate 3 – let's take [VTM] and see what we can do with it. Wouldn't it be great to have a full-on RPG that wasn't beholden to the fantasy or sci-fi genre, one that really leaned into the roleplaying systems of Vampire: The Masquerade?"
