If there’s one thing that’s been pretty popular at Gamescom this week, it’s extended gameplay videos. Paradox Interactive are no different, and have released a near 30-minute showcase for their gothic RPG sequelVampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2,courtesy of IGN.
Based on the hugely-successful White Wolf franchise,Bloodlines 2is the sequel fans have been craving for since the release of the originalBloodlinesback in 2004.Bloodlines 2will once again allow players to walk the night as a custom-designed character, interacting with members of Full-Blood factions, completing tasks and favours, learning Disciplines (The Masquerade’s form of specialised skills and abilities) all while maintaining the order’s secrecy, not to mention preventing your own downward spiral into a frenzied, bloodsucking psychopath.
Bloodlines 2still looks a little rough around the edges, but the brand’s style and atmosphere is on display. The combat animations are quite stiff, but the lighting and effects are looking good. Hopefully, over the coming months, developer Hardsuit Labs will continue to fine-tuneBloodlines 2, ultimately delivering an immersive and addictive experience for the creatures of the night.
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2launches in 2020 on PS4, PC and Xbox One.
