Announced alongside Indiana Jones and The Great Circle’s new Nintendo Switch 2 port and more, the long-awaited RPG will finally launch on PC and consoles on October 21, 2025.

As a true sequel to the cult classic Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines, this new game “lets players step into its story through two distinct, alternating perspectives: Elder vampire Phyre and Malkavian detective Fabien”.

“After centuries in torpor, Phyre wakes in modern-day Seattle with a strange mark that seals away their Elder powers. In the quiet of their mind, Fabien’s voice stirs,” reads the game’s synopsis. “As Phyre, you will navigate the city’s web of Kindred politics, meet its rulers, uncover hidden agendas, and explore Seattle’s darkest secrets to reclaim the power that was once yours.”
