Two other licensed titles – Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong and Bloodhunt – were met with chilly receptions. The delays are probably excruciating for fans who have waited almost 20 years for a sequel to the beloved original based on the tabletop RPG Vampire: The Masquerade by White Wolf Publishing. Whether the publisher will have a possible release window at that time is unclear. Meanwhile, we peppered this post with new screenshots to tide fans over until Paradox's September update (masthead is not new). Refunding everyone pushes the reset button allowing them to re-choose a version once it announces the new editions or to not buy the game at all. Paradox said it is canceling physical orders because it wants to update all editions to provide players with the "best value possible." While it didn't specify what would change with physical discs, the game's FAQ indicates Paradox wants to include more bonuses in the hard copies. Additionally, those who pre-ordered physical copies, including the Collector's Edition, will receive automatic "proactive" refunds. In the meantime, it offered an optional refund to customers with digital pre-orders. Paradox assures us it is still working on the game and will have more to show the community in September. The company acknowledges that it has been a long time since its last community update and that some fans who pre-ordered long ago might not be too happy about the delays and radio silence.


Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 producer Paradox Interactive broke cover on Wednesday after a long hiatus to update fans on the heavily delayed game. Paradox Interactive dropped some screenshots into its Steam page and told fans it is still working on the game and would have more information – perhaps even a release date this fall.

Highly anticipated: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is still in the works despite its publisher's lack of communication on the title.
