Bloodlines 2 Puts Lasombra and Toreador Clans in Base Game After Backlash

Paradox pivots to six launch clans, moving paid content to 2026 Story Packs.

Overview

  • Paradox, White Wolf, and The Chinese Room confirmed Lasombra and Toreador will be available in the base game at launch on October 21 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
  • Executive producer Marco Behrmann credited frank community feedback for the reversal, saying the two clans "belong in the base game."
  • The clans were previously slated as day‑one DLC for $21.99 or bundled in the $89.99 Premium Edition, a plan that triggered pushback and PlayStation Store preorder refunds.
  • Two narrative Story Packs—Loose Cannon (Q2 2026) and The Flower & The Flame (Q3 2026)—are now the focus of post‑launch content and are included in the Expansion Pass.
  • Pricing details: Expansion Pass $34.99 standalone; each Story Pack $14.99; Deluxe Edition adds the Santa Monica Memories cosmetic pack, while Premium Edition includes the Expansion Pass in digital and limited physical versions.
