Paradox Interactive plans to license future sequels as it pivots away from RPGs following Bloodlines 2's troubled production.

Overview

  • Bloodlines 2 is now scheduled to launch in the first half of 2025, following multiple delays and a change in development studios.
  • The game was originally developed by Hardsuit Labs before being handed over to The Chinese Room, known for titles like Dear Esther.
  • Paradox Interactive has expressed confidence in the new developer's vision, describing the game as an action RPG with comparisons to Dishonored.
  • Despite the ongoing challenges, the company believes Bloodlines 2 will deliver a compelling World of Darkness experience.
  • Paradox plans to license out any potential Bloodlines 3, as it intends to focus on its core strengths in strategy and management games.
