"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.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is a hefty game, yet the clear omissions make it feel like a lesser product compared to a title from nearly two decades ago. And while that may disappoint a lot of players, what is present is a great action fighter that looks and more importantly feels awesome to play.
