Game makers at The Chinese Room shared new details about Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, which comes out in October 2025. Game Director Alex Skidmore wants dialogues to feel like mazes rather than straight paths. This design prevents players from simply picking what seems like the good option every time. The team hopes players will explore different conversation paths instead of falling into predictable patterns.
Players take on the role of Phyre, an Elder vampire who wakes up after a long sleep. The character has been deliberately left open for player interpretation. Rather than telling players about their legendary status upfront, other characters show it through their reactions to Phyre. Though Phyre starts bound with limited powers, they remain naturally powerful. Lead Sound Designer Tessa Verplancke mentioned that their movements make less noise than others, showing their inherent strength. Even climbing requires no effort for Phyre, with audio cues subtly reinforcing their power.
More information about the game will likely appear over the next five months. The Chinese Room took over development from Hardsuit Labs several years ago. Fans can expect updates as the October release approaches.
