In theory, this means that work on Bloodlines 2 could be starting over completely from scratch, and the fact that they have yet to name a successor developer to Hardsuit means that it could be a while before we have any inkling of when we’ll see the game again. The situation here is a bit different, however, as losing key staff is hardly on the same scale as the entire developer leaving the project. This news follows up on a myriad of losses for Bloodlines 2, after the head writer and creative director being (according to them very “suddenly”) fired last August, and then the lead narrative designer leaving in October. Shocked is hardly the word to describe the reaction from fans, as Bloodlines 2 (which did suffer expected delays) appeared to be a game well on track based on gameplay footage shown previously, along with the massive roadmap of content that had been promised. As soon as we can, we’ll let you know what the future development team of Bloodlines 2 will look like. We understand how important this is to you, and we’d love to share more with you. We’re thankful for your continuous support throughout the game’s development.
The studio has done a tremendous job in laying the foundations for the game and we hope that you, the community, will also appreciate their contribution to Bloodlines 2. We’d like to take this opportunity to honor Hardsuit Labs for their efforts and thank them for their hard work on the project. In order to meet our goals for it, we’ve come to the conclusion that a change is needed and, as a result, more development time is required. This game is very important to us and it has been an ambitious project from the very start. Since we cannot at this time communicate a new release date, we’ve also decided to stop accepting pre-orders for the time being. Secondly, we have made the hard decision that Hardsuit Labs will no longer be leading the development of Bloodlines 2 – which also means that we will not be releasing in 2021 as previously planned. With this in mind, the first piece of news we have for you is to confirm that Bloodlines 2 is still in development. Dale Emasiri, Lead Community Developer for IP owner Paradox Entertainment, posted on their Discord tonight:Īs you have noticed, we’ve been keeping pretty quiet for a while. In an update posted to their Discord server and their website ( which is currently crashed at the time of this writing), the PR team behind Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has revealed that it has effectively been canceled.
