Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 remains one of the most anticipated upcoming RPGs thanks to the impact of the tremendously underrated first game, which has since gained a cult following in gaming. However, the sequel has faced numerous setbacks in development, with many key figures leaving developer Hardsuit Labs, leading to the game being delayed on multiple occasions. Now, it has seemingly suffered its biggest blow as Hardsuit Labs has been replaced entirely as the developer, with the game being delayed indefinitely.

According to publisher Paradox Interactive's Year-end Report for 2020, developer Hardsuit Labs has been replaced by another unnamed developer. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will also no longer launch in 2021 as was the previous target, and has been delayed indefinitely. Speaking about the effects of the ongoing global pandemic and the challenges that Paradox Interactive have faced moving forward with projects, they stated:
"This also affects the development of Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, where we communicated a delay during the third quarter of 2020. We have now chosen to postpone the release of the game further, and we will not be launching the game in 2021. We have also decided that Hardsuit Labs will no longer be leading the development of Bloodlines 2, and we have started a collaboration with a new studio partner to finish work on the game. This has been a difficult decision, but we are convinced that it is the right way forward to do the game justice."

So many things I could do with that comment...
*cough*
Also remember the original one was, and still is, hella buggy. It was still fun though, the haunted house part still holds a special place in my memories.
"To many heads have been in this..." seriously
