Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 - Official Next-Gen Trailer | Inside Xbox (2021)

While Bloodlines 2 has not been canceled, work on it will be continued by an unspecified new third-party studio, and it's no longer planned to launch this year. This marks the second major delay for Bloodlines 2, which was postponed to 2021 last August.

Bloodlines 2 was initially pegged to launch in Q1 2020, but was postponed in to later in the year, before being officially delayed into 2021 in August of 2020. This was just the start of the game's development troubles, as later that month, the game's Narrative lead and Creative Director were dropped from the project unexpectedly. The game's Senior Narrative Designer left shortly after in October.
The publisher can no longer pin down a release date for the game due to the development reshuffle, so Paradox has also decided to stop taking pre-orders for Bloodlines 2. "As soon as we can, we'll let you know what the future development team of Bloodlines 2 will look like," the statement reads. We'll be sure to let you know more about the fate of the game as the project develops under a new, unannounced studio.
