Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

 
Seattle’s nights feel longer, hungrier, and meaner in this action RPG set in the World of Darkness.
You play as Phyre, an elder vampire waking after a century of torpor into a city on the brink.
Power struggles, fragile alliances, and the Masquerade’s iron rule shape every choice and every kill.
The Chinese Room steers the sequel’s mood and pacing, while Paradox backs the vision with scope.
Seattle, politics, and a voice in your blood
Bloodlines 2 plants you in modern-day Seattle at Christmastime, right in the teeth of a historic snowstorm.
Phyre carries a mysterious brand that limits power, plus the voice of Malkavian detective Fabien riding shotgun.
Camarilla influence is cracking, Anarchs are pressing, and the Second Inquisition hunts with new teeth.
Expect noir vibes and reality-bending sequences that toy with perspective and memory.
Systems built for predators
It’s a first‑person action RPG with third‑person beats for certain interactions and moments.
Choose a clan—Brujah, Banu Haqim, Tremere, or Ventrue—and bend fights to fit your style.
Stack Disciplines, mix powers, and feed carefully to keep the Masquerade intact while hunting.
Combat blends melee, firearms, and supernatural tricks like telekinesis, Hypnosis, and Blood Curse.
Dialogue reacts to reputation, clan, history, and attitude; bridges burned don’t magically rebuild.
Seattle spans five seamless districts, stitched together without loading gates to break the flow.
