There are some deep (blade) cuts in the upcoming sequel
I didn’t know much about the Vampire: The Masquerade series until very recently, but lately I’ve started to dive in a bit as the world and its denizens have a very specific vibe that I’m digging. It’s spooky season, and vampires are cool again.
Anyhoo, the game has six specific clans that players can choose from, the Ventrue, Tremere, Brujah, Banu Haqim, Toreador, and Lasombra. A bit like a class, each of these has their own unique characteristics and abilities. The latest trailer focuses on character Niko Angelov of the Banu Haqim clan. Angelov’s abilities and clan perks include moving fast enough to make time slow down, being able to silence opponents, and remaining crouched while sprinting — something that I as an adult make in 2025 would love to be able to do.
There are four clan designation videos already posted, with a couple more on the way.
Vampire: The Masquerade has a long history as an IP, and it continues to pump out games every few years. It’ll be interesting to see how Bloodlines 2 keeps the torch and visibility, especially in such a crowded month, when it launches on October 21st.
