"Our goal has always been to deliver the best game possible, to immerse you into a Seattle re-imagined in the World of Darkness, and deliver a worthy successor to the original Bloodlines game. Due to the quality bar and ambitions we have set for ourselves, we have made the difficult decision that we need more time. This means that our goal to release in 2020 is no longer possible. Moving launch is one of the changes we are making to ensure the best player experience possible.
This is not a decision taken lightly nor is it the first option we considered. We will share more information in the coming months on launch timing and other organizational changes that will help us achieve this goal.
We understand that this will be a disappointment to many of you, but we also appreciate how our ambition is echoed through many parts of the community. We hope you understand that, while difficult, this is the right call.
We thank you all for your patience while we continue to build Bloodlines 2.”
The announcement didn’t specify when exactly can we expect Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 to be released in 2021. It did mention new information in the coming months for the launch and that “organizational changes” will be made but did not specify exactly what they mean.
The last delay was back in 2019 when they pushed to a late 2020. We are now in August with barely any updates or promotions for the game as we get close to the Ber months of the year, so this new delay to next year makes a lot of sense since we haven’t heard anything new about the game recently.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will be out on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii reuses the Infinite Wealth setting that still feels fresh and exciting for many and is packed with an absurd pirate theme that reminds us that the Yakuza series can go anywhere it wants and still find ways to entertain. Over 10 hours in, Pirate Yakuza is already showing that RGG can still give reason to invest time on their spinoff projects.
Developer Relic Entertainment is working on a turn-based strategy game called Earth vs Mars, which by its name pits Earth’s defenses against an alien invasion. It’s set to launch on Steam this Summer and is the first game from the studio's Relic Labs program.
KARMA: The Dark World launches on March 27, 2025, on PS5 and PC. Priced at $24.99, it offers launch discounts plus an additional discount on Steam for players who own Wired Productions' previous titles. The latest trailer, featuring 'Into the Mist' by Geng Li, teases surreal visuals and a gripping mystery. Xbox release to follow later.
Even with a few fumbles on the game’s online netcode and matchmaking, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. still delivers an excellent fighting game for newcomers and Virtua Fighter fans alike. And with this being an online-focused endeavor, it can only get better through patch updates.
Sony and Bend Studio have announced Days Gone Remastered for PS5 and PC, featuring new game modes, accessibility options, and graphical upgrades. Launching April 25, 2025, the remaster includes Horde Assault, Permadeath, and Speedrun modes, plus an enhanced Photo Mode. Players who own the PS4 version can upgrade for $9.99.
Capcom released Monster Hunter Wilds launch trailer which features Jin Dahaad, the Apex Predator found in the Iceshard Cliffs location in the game. They also gave the game’s post-launch roadmap, giving players an idea what to expect from the game in the coming months after release.
A couple of weeks after the launch of anime extraction shooter Synduality: Echo of Ada, Bandai Namco and developer Game Studio revealed that the game’s season 1 update will include a new map called East Amasia, new Requests (quests), gear, and more.
Synduality Echo of Ada has potential, but its flawed economy, tedious grind, and lack of meaningful story incentives make it hard to recommend in its current state. Without drastic improvements, it risks being forgotten before it ever finds a steady audience.
Sony will no longer require PC players to sign up for a PSN account to play any of Sony’s games when they become available on PC. Moving forward, the incentive for having a PSN will be in the form of in-game rewards.
