The Chinese Room studio talked about their upcoming game Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 with PC Gamer magazine. The game arrives in October 2025 after the developer changes. Game Director Alex Skidmore described dialogue as maze-like to prevent players from automatically picking good choices without thinking.
Players control an Elder vampire named Phyre who wakes from a long sleep. Narrative Director Ian Thomas said they left room for players to shape the character however they want. Other characters react to Phyre as powerful, showing the vampire's status rather than just telling players about it directly.
Though Phyre starts bound with limited powers, they remain stronger than normal characters. Lead Sound Designer Tessa Verplancke explained how even basic movements show Phyre's power - the vampire makes less noise and shows no strain when climbing. Fans should expect more details about the game to appear over the coming months.
