After 6 years of delays and studio drama, #VampireTheMasquerade – #Bloodlines2 finally arrives 21/10/2025.
The base game (49.99€) includes 4 #clans: #Brujah, #Tremere, #BanuHaqim and #Ventrue. But two of the most iconic, #Toreador + #Lasombra, are locked behind #dayone #DLC Shadows & Silk (18.69€) or bundled in the so-called #PremiumEdition (74.99€). The #DeluxeEdition (58.50€) adds only #cosmetics, no real content.
What should have been a long-awaited comeback feels like another case of predatory #DLC overshadowing the excitement.
#ParadoxInteractive keeps getting worse and worse — the more money they make, the more toxic they become. Their strategies feel #anticonsumer and anti#gamer, prioritizing profit over players.
