Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is one of the more highly anticipated RPGs releasing next year, as a sequel to a cult favourite that is promising to make a lot of necessary improvements. And though the game’s launch is a while away yet, those who’re looking forward to it will be glad to know that it’s hit a notable development milestone.
Developers Hardsuit Labs announced in a recent update on Steam that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2’s development has officially passed alpha stage, which means it is now “systems-complete.” “We’re done adding gameplay mechanics and features to the game,” the developer wrote. “Of course, this doesn’t mean that the core game is done and ready to put in a box (“systems-final”). There are still quite a few people busy tweaking, balancing, and art-ing up the gameplay.”
The update goes on to mention all the work that Hardsuit Labs will be focusing on going forward- the most important being creating and designing quests ad populating the game’s world with them.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is due out on some time in 2020, though specific release date hasn’t yet been announced. You can get more details on its choice and consequence mechanics and the length of its campaign through the links.
