by

Summary

  • ESRB rating approved for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 suggests the game may launch in 2025.
  • Troubled development led to six years of delays
  • Blood and gore lead to M-rating; in-game purchases are expected for DLC clans.

Enthusiasts who’ve longed for years to delve back into the realm of the undead could soon have their wish granted, as it appears the game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 may be nearing release, given that an ESRB rating has been awarded.

The progression of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been marked by significant challenges. Since its initial announcement in 2019, the game has experienced multiple postponements. Moreover, the original studio responsible for its creation (Hardsuit Labs) was removed from the project, with The Chinese Room stepping up as the new development team.

2025 could very well be the year I finally get my hands on Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2! It looks like the updated ESRB rating suggests that the game is nearing completion, with no major changes in store. Fingers crossed that we’ll finally dive into the world of the Kindred in just a few years!

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Earned Its M-Rating

It’s entirely expected that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been given an M-rating due to the abundance of violent scenes and gore depicted in its trailers. In the game, certain vampire abilities are capable of dismembering humans, a scenario that will likely occur frequently.

It’s no shock that in-game purchases are being included, given that developers have announced plans for at least two DLC factions, the Malkavians and the Lasombra, which are quite popular and would fit nicely within a gaming setting due to their intriguing abilities.

The question on everyone’s mind is when will Grand Theft Auto 6 be released, as it seems like the entire gaming industry is on pause while we wait for its announcement. Given that the original Bloodlines was overshadowed by Half-Life 2, it wouldn’t surprise me if any updates about Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 are delayed until they can be released far enough away from Rockstar’s upcoming game to avoid direct competition.
