We got some big news on Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 yesterday: After years of waiting through a very troubled development, the game is finally set to release on October 21. But even with that long-awaited day finally in sight, Bloodlines 2 just can't avoid stepping on rakes: Eager Bloodlines fans were also informed that if they want to play as Lasombra or Toreador, they're going to have to pay extra.
Bloodlines 2 will let players select from four different vampire clans out of the box: Brujah, Tremere, Banu Haqim, and Ventrue, each with its own distinct abilities and styles of play. Malkavians are sort of in there too, as a kind of alternate personality named Fabien, who emerges as a playable character when the real playable character, Phyre, is asleep.
