Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 Patch 1.0.4 Goes Live as Roadmap Sets Year-End QoL Update

The studio begins a course correction that fixes saving now, with core options pledged before year's end.

Overview

  • Patch 1.0.4 is available now, adding a save-on-exit function and delivering crash and other bug fixes.
  • The Chinese Room’s roadmap confirms patch 1.0.5 before year-end with an FOV slider, a motion blur toggle, and manual saves at any time.
  • A Christmas update is planned to add cosmetics for Phyre, a custom difficulty mode, and the option to skip Fabien’s missions after one full playthrough.
  • Further updates target 2026, including a Valentine’s update in Q1 and two story DLCs—Loose Cannon and Ysabella’s The Flower and the Flame—whose timing is described as Q2/Q3 by one outlet and as the latter part of 2026 by another.
  • Coverage frames these additions as essential quality-of-life features following a launch criticized for performance problems and missing systems.
