The mysterious new project Paradox Interactive has been teasing for several weeks now has officially been announced as Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, a sequel to the beloved cult classic RPG from 2004. Developed by Hardsuit Labs and set in the city of Seattle, Bloodlines 2 will put players in the role of a thin-blooded vampire as they navigate the treacherous, conspiracy-laden world of the Kindred. Although not much has been revealed about the story and its connections to the original, the team confirmed that Bloodlines 2 does indeed take place in the same world as its predecessor, and that certain fan favorite characters will show up during the adventure – what’s more, we’ve learned that original Bloodlines writer/designer Brian Mitsoda will return as the lead narrative designer for Bloodlines 2, alongside writers Cara Ellison and Chris Avellone. A Season Pass titled “Season of the Wolf” has also been unveiled, which will give players access to two additional story packs and an expansion.
