Bloodlines 2 has faced a rocky development cycle since its announcement in 2019 and the title was setback twice before being indefinitely delayed and worked on by an unknown second studio in February.Īnnounced as the sequel to one of the greatest RPGs of all time, Bloodlines 2 promised to keep the core idea of The Masquerade series and expand it with new characters, factions, RPG elements, and a new location set in Seattle that shared the same universe with the World of Darkness.
