Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 delayed to late 2020

[only_fools_&_horses]

So, a cross-gen game

 

[Yerffej]

I would have been more shocked if it made its date.

 

[Kill3r7]

Smart, especially if it makes it on next gen consoles at launch.

 

[Tygre]

Let it cook.

 

[Truant]

Good!

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Strictly speaking it says later in 2020, not late 2020?

 

[jediyoshi]

We waited this long so 🤷

 

[Skade]

Take your time guys.

And at least, it's now a bit easier to choose what to play early next year.

 

[dreamfall]

For the best - take as much time as you need, and make the best sequel. The combat mechanics looked a bit rough but the environmental atmosphere was amazing! I can't wait to play it when it is ready!

 

[Sibylus]

Happy team, happy game. Neither the devs at Troika or the first game itself had this chance, and I'm glad PDX is being accommodating.

It reads more like "I dunno, 2020" tbh. Rough timing, given PDXCON is Saturday, but the playable demo getting pulled due to time constraints should have been a clue.

 

[MrCibb]

Thank fuck. Early 2020 is loaded. That's £50 less I need to spend those few months, I'll take it. Cheers mate.

 

[xGrizzly]

Great news, always wondered by companies rarely release in the Summer though. It's always barren with releases and with people being on vacation it just makes more sense to me imo. This gives me more time to compete the first game now!

 

[J_Viper]

Next gen launch title, let's go

 

[SirNinja]

Very good news. Early 2020 is an absolute bloodbath (no pun intended), and this means we get a more polished game.

 

[Avis]

You know what? Thank god. Too many games right now.

 

[Kinsei]

They should take all the time they need. I've waited this long, a few extra months won't hurt.

 

[Deleted member 29660]

Making the game better is always good in my view, even if it takes longer.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Thank you for moving it away from the super busy Q1-Q2 next year and take as much time as you need with this.
Another game for fall next year, has to be also a next gen launch third party title as well.

 

[Vibranium]

I'm very glad, after people picking on the animations and enemy hit reactions. They should take all the time they need to polish it up.

Glad that Paradox does care about making the game the best it can be.

 

[Santos]

Good, take all the time you need.

 

[decoyplatypus]

It's been 15 years since the original. Happy to wait a while longer if it means we get a worthy sequel (and an opportunity for more Bloodlines games in the future).

 

[Slaythe]

I am so glad.

Game was gonna get buried by ff7 and cyberpunk, and it could also use some more time in the oven to polish it !

Super excited and will support it as soon as it's out !

Take all the time you need.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

when a game like this gets delayed i'm just happy it even exists lol

 

[Bradford]

Yeah, this is for the best. Adhering to a strict release date is part of what contributed to the first games broken launch.

Give us the best and take as much time as necessary.

 

[Neil98]

I feel this is more of a sales decision than a polish decision

 

[BringBackSonics]

Get it right..but man..not a good week for PDX.

 

[Deleted member 1476]

God fucking damnit.

Quite possibly but the extra time will probably help anyway. I can't think of a single open-ended RPG/immersive sim type game that couldn''t have used more time in the oven.

Also early 2020 was probably too busy anyway.

 

[Rosebud]

More time to finally play the first

 

[Rygar 8Bit]

Damn was really looking forward to that killer combo of RPGs early next year. That's fine though it's not like there won't be anything to play.

More time to finally play the first

Really should! Try and get it from Gog to get the patched version. It's old but still a really good game.

 

[GavinUK86]

Well considering the state the first one launched in, this can only be a good thing.

The end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 is already too stacked.

 

[Son of Sparda]

Good move tbh.

Early 2020 is crazy right now.

 

[TUFCfan]

Good move all round and one that I'd imagine most were probbably expecting. More time to polish it and then release in a more favourable window.

 

[Raide]

Just do it justice and push it to next-gen.

 

[MilesQ]

Understandable, but still sad to see it delayed.

 

[Luke_wal]

This would be a SWEET PS5/Xbox launch title. If they could port the fully featured PC version, I'd love to play that on new consoles.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Glad that they're taking the additional time to work on the game rather than rushing it out.

 

[Wyman Manderly]

The right decision
