  • Paradox, White Wolf and The Chinese Room confirmed at Gamescom that Bloodlines 2 launches October 21 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with pre-orders now live.
  • Pricing was detailed: Standard $59.99, Deluxe $69.99 (includes Santa Monica Memories, $11.99 separately) and Premium $89.99 (adds Shadows & Silk, $21.99 separately).
  • The base game features four playable clans—Brujah, Tremere, Banu Haqim and Ventrue—while Toreador and Lasombra are available only through the Shadows & Silk DLC at launch.
  • Pre-orders include the Bloodlines Nostalgia Jukebox, a haven decor item featuring music by original composer Rik Schaffer.
  • Players alternate between elder vampire Phyre and a separate playable Malkavian, Fabien, whose detective segments unfold in a stylized 1920s Seattle, as previews praise atmosphere but question RPG depth.
