Gameplay Overview
Players assume the role of Elder vampire Phyre, navigating nine nights in Seattle’s World of Darkness. The narrative explores political tensions within the Camarilla Court while Phyre regains their powers. The story is guided by Fabien, a Malkavian detective whose perspective adds complexity to the journey.
The base game offers six playable clans: Brujah, Tremere, Banu Haqim, Ventrue, Toreador, and Lasombra. Each clan introduces distinct Disciplines and abilities, while players must maintain the Masquerade—the secrecy that protects vampire society from human discovery.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will launch in 2025 for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, as well as for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
