Chinese Room Studio promised to regularly share new information about its next project. She kept her word today Developer He betrayed Something about the plot Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2.
When Paradox Interactive revealed who was set to work on this highly anticipated production, an interesting change was immediately announced. Originally Bloodlines 2 It was following in the footsteps of its predecessor: players will take on the role of a young Kennett (Kindred) – a vampire who – just like the player – will just delve into the world of darkness.
Meanwhile, new creators decided so The main character in “2” will be an elderly vampire who is “bound” and unable to access most of her powerful powers. Bound by an unknown criminal, the vampire will have to find his way in the dystopia of Seattle’s Masquerade, where there will be no shortage of influential figures – potential enemies or allies (read: people who are more useful alive than dead at a given moment).
world Bloodlines 2 It will be kept in the neo-Nuer style (we will learn more about it in the next entry)Filled with “themes of revenge, paranoia and isolation” and “nihilistic and morally gray heroes”. Players will be able to ally themselves with them, but they will have to be careful who they trust: with whom they share valuable information and whether they believe the words of the “friendly” vampires.
Humanity is a distant thing, so what are people to you? Ages of existence can be difficult for someone who thrives on others. Is it just something to be devoured, or is it possible to build a sense of trust and connection? Is everyone just a chess piece or a cup?
Placing the player in the role of an older vampire fits with the philosophy presented by the developer in the previous entry: the player is supposed to be a “hunter”, someone who is in control of the situation, even if he is not omnipotent. However, the creators still wanted to leave players free to play the role of the hero according to their own preferences, while at the same time giving them the opportunity to explore the world of darkness without breaking their immersion.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 It will debut next fall. The title is coming to PC, Xbox Series
