Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 Ankündigung
Paradox Interactive enthüllte das Rollenspiel Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 im Rahmen der Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. Das Game aus dem Hause Hardsuit Labs soll 2020 für PC sowie Konsolen erscheinen und erweckt die nordamerikanische Stadt Seattle, im Stil der World of Darkness, zum digitalen Schauplatz. Bloodlines 2 umfasst als Nachfolger des RPG Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines eine Geschichte, die auf den Spieler reagieren soll, schnelle actiongeladene Nahkämpfe und einen hintergründigen Cast intriganter Charaktere - alle mit ganz eigenen Motiven. Spieler beschreiten auf ihrem Weg zum ultimativen Vampir einen Weg, der sie ebenso durch die Straßen und Hinterhöfe der Metropole führt, wie durch politische Wirrungen und Intrigen - immer auf dem schmalen Grad balancierend zwischen Blutdurst und Verlust der Menschlichkeit!
"Fans of the original Bloodlines have been hungry for a sequel for a long time, and we began to hear those suggestions - well, demands - as soon as we began to work with the World of Darkness. We all understood what this opportunity could mean, but it was essential for both us and for Hardsuit Labs that any sequel should be done properly; a true successor guided by the people who knew what made the original so special. Keeping this game a secret for the last few years has been quite the Masquerade for us! It’s both exciting and relieving to finally let everybody know what we have in store for them.", äußerte sich Ebba Ljungerud (CEO of Paradox Interactive) zur Ankündigung.
Andy Kipling (CEO of Hardsuit Labs) äußerte sich ebenfalls: "At Hardsuit Labs we’re proud to have assembled a team of industry veterans who have worked on blockbuster titles, ranging from narrative-driven RPGs to action-packed shooters. We started working on our pitch almost immediately after we heard that Paradox had acquired the IP and I’m thrilled that Paradox recognized our passion and abilities. We are honored to be bringing Bloodlines 2 to fans all over the world."
