About The Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Game

We have all been anticipating Bloodlines 2 since 2019, so what is the game all about. It is a role-person action video game where you develop your character who was killed and revived as a vampire.

You play mainly from a first-person perspective and also in group activities where you play third-person. The game's original developers were Hardsuit Labs, but Paradox Initiative took over as the developers and publishers. 

Bloodlines 2 is part of the World of Darkness series, which takes on a show of horror and action. Bloodlines 2 is a sequel to Bloodlines which was released 17 years ago in 2004.

The game is planned to be released on popular consoles like the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and the Xbox Series X/S. Microsoft Windows has not been left out of the fun, as the talks are that it would be released there too.

A Sequel, 17 Years Later

Why did it take that long for a sequel to be developed? Back in 2004, when Bloodlines was released, it had inferior copies sold and was almost trash compared to its competitors like Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Halo 2.

But, amidst all that downfall, fans still enjoyed the storyline, and it received a good amount of praise as one of the best-broken games. So, would Bloodlines 2 be any better than its predecessor? 

With the attention it has gathered from its thrillers and pre-orders, I pretty much think it has.

Gameplay Of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

When starting the game, you need to create your vampire character after being awakened by thin blood. You would choose from three vampires; the Chiropteran, the Mentalism, and the Nebulation division.

Each of these divisions has different abilities that would determine the skills your character would possess. After choosing a division, you would join one of five vampire clans left in the city. 

The clans are; Clan Brujah, Clan Tremere, Clan Ventrue, Clan Malkavian, and Clan Toreador. The clans are another important aspect to carefully select as they directly impact the enhancement of your character skill.

You would be tasked with maintaining your masquerade form (a player’s ability to hide their existence) and humanity form (a player’s aggression level). Each of these points must be maintained, and if not, it may lead to the player being hunted by other vampires, or worse, the end of the game.

Quests In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

News so far informed us that there would be many side missions along with the main storyline. Through exploration and communication with NPC’s, you can obtain information about these side missions. 

Each of these quests rewards you by offering you experience, items, or money—challenging quests built upon the strength of your clan with high territorialism. You would not want to step into or feed on humans beyond your boundaries. 

The quests bring real-life action, and you have to survive being attacked by vampires from other clans, from humans, and vampires from your clan.

Storyline Of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

I skipped the part in the gameplay where your character can form ties with five factions, with no restrictions to the number. These factions do not only leverage the skill or its advancement, but they also add spice to the storyline.

In this sequel, Vampires are still bound to their code of maintaining secrecy to humans (masquerade), but the humans already know who and what they are. And they have started developing powerful ways of protecting themselves. 

To maintain your masquerade form swerving through angry humans and the powerful power-hungry clans is a fun twist. The game takes place in Seattle in a 21st-century setting during the Christmas season. 

That does not stop the grotesque feast by vampires. To make it more fun, you are half-human, half-vampire, so you are still a very weak vampire, and your strength cannot be compared with the weakest traditional vampire.

Plot Of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

Your character still needs blood to get stronger, which is a hassle. You are a victim of the Mass Embrace where some vampires turned rogue and attacked humans out in the open. 

This led to a ruse among all clans, and your character, the young, thin blood, finds himself in Seattle amidst the ruckus trying to survive.

Even from the preorder versions, Bloodline 2 has in-game rewards you can unravel and use when the game finally hits our screens. The great news is that you can get these rewards even without ordering these preorder versions.

There are 15 rewards so far, and it turns out that they are cosmetic items. The way to get these rewards is by earning blood points on the Paradox website by completing tasks. 

You see, these rewards have price values in blood points, and without having these blood points, you cannot get the rewards. So how then can you get these blood points to get the rewards?

Are they super hard or pretty easy to get? I will leave you to decide on that after reading how you can obtain blood packs.

Referrals In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

It seems like an easy way and an obvious means to get rewards. By logging or signing into the Bloodline 2 website and sharing your referral link to friends and other fans, you can get some blood points. But as referrals can be an un-effective way of gaining blood points.

The reason is that when it gets to a point, most people would have done the same, looking for people to refer, and there would not be anyone to join anymore. Still, it is pretty easy to get blood points and possibly the most straightforward way of getting these points.

You copy your referral link and share it across different platforms. If other users log in using your referral link, you get points. 

Finding Blood Packs In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

Have we not all tried referrals before and got stuck by limitations? Even if we create multiple accounts and accept the invites from ourselves, we still might not be able to get the number of points we need after passing the hurdle.

That is why another method of acquiring blood points was made possible. It comes in the form of searching for blood packs. These blood packs are hidden on the Bloodlines 2 website. 

There are two types of blood packs; the regular blood pack gives you ten blood points for each one, and the unique blood pack grants you 50 blood points.

Reward Items In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

As mentioned earlier, these reward items are cosmetic items that would most likely be useful in the game. Among the released items are; a trench coat, a Tender T-Shirt, a Tender Bodyguard Skin, the Haven Decoration Brujah Clan Sign, and the Haven Decoration Tremere Clan Sign.

Each of these reward items increases in blood points. Three pre-order versions have been made available to the public: the Standard, Unsanctioned, and the Blood Moon versions. 

The Blood Moon version includes two story-based downloadable content packs and a werewolf-themed expansion titled "Season of the Wolf." You can get the Unsanctioned version through the link on Amazon.

Release Date Of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

The first news that delighted us was the scheduling for the release of Bloodlines 2 in March 2020. As we know, it was pushed back to an unspecified 2020 release date and further extended to an unspecified 2021 release date.

Paradox CEO Ebba Ljungerud then mentions that Bloodlines 2 would not be released in the first half of 2021. Delay was caused by several factors including, the current pandemic, delay in receiving development kits for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles, and shortness in staff as the creative director and narrative lead were laid off.

Launch Date Of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

Other news also states that Bloodlines 2 may no longer launch in 2021, and Paradox has decided to halt pre-orders until a new release window can be defined.
