Overview

  • The base game will launch with six playable clans—Brujah, Tremere, Banu Haqim, Ventrue, Toreador, and Lasombra—on October 21 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
  • The original plan to sell Lasombra and Toreador as day-one DLC via the Shadows and Silk pack or the Premium Edition has been scrapped after widespread pushback.
  • Two narrative Story Packs, Loose Cannon and The Flower & The Flame, arrive in Q2 and Q3 2026, exploring perspectives of Sheriff Benny Muldoon and Primogen Ysabella Moore.
  • Paradox previously issued PlayStation Store refunds tied to the Premium Edition controversy and said player feedback drove the change.
  • Pricing and editions remain in place: Premium Edition is $89.99 with an Expansion Pass; the pass is $34.99 on October 21, or the Story Packs can be purchased separately for $14.99 each, with the Santa Monica Memories cosmetic pack at $11.99.
