Reaction to Paradox’s decision to block two clans for a vampire for a vampire: masquerade – Bloodlines 2 seems to cause reflection.
Furra began with confirmation that Blood 2 lines contain four clans: Brujah; Tremere; Banu Haqim; and Ventrue. While this choice provides four different initial options in building a hero, this is a more constrained offer compared to the iconic classic original blood lines, which contained seven clans.
The Chinese developer added another two clans to Bloodlines 2 (Lasombra and Toruador), but they are currently available only as part of the Shadows and Silk package, which costs USD 21.99 as DLC or as part of the Premium edition worth 89.99 USD. The standard edition costs $ 59.99.
This DLC is available from the first day, which resulted in the impression that the “full” list was sculpted, and only those who pay additional impressions from the premiere. As you might expect, fans quickly expressed dissatisfaction.
Then, on Gamescom 2025, a representative of the publisher Paradox told Ign that the decision was “business”, which caused further indignation. But the Discord post suggests that a significant change may seem before starting.
As noted SetThe developer of the Paradox community, Debbieella, turned to the game community with the following message:
“We listen to your feedback on access to the Lasombra and Toreador clan, and we introduce corrections before starting to reflect.
“We will provide more information about what it means as soon as possible.”
What it means is now unknown, but of course the hope is that the paradox throws two clans to run without additional costs. It would certainly go to calm the fan base before releasing the game on October 21. But what would that mean for those who have already paid for the more expensive premium edition?
Vampire: Masquerada-Bloodlines 2 suffered difficult development and a number of loud delays, but this is a key edition of the paradox. The publisher will want to give him the best chance to succeed, and returning to his plans DLC may be the only real option at this stage.
