To say that it’s been a ride for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 fans is an understatement. That being said, Paradox Interactive, White Wolf, and developer The Chinese Room are easing the pain, announcing that the Lasombra and Toreador clans, which were originally planned as day-one paid downloadable content, have been added to the base game.
The companies also announced two additional Story Packs in “Loose Cannon” and “The Flower & the Flame”, which will allow players to explore Seattle through the perspectives of Camarilla Sheriff Benny Muldoon and Primogen Ysabella Moore, respectively. Both Story Packs are included in the Premium Edition’s Expansion Pass and will launch in 2026.
“Thanks to our community for the frank feedback on Bloodlines 2 and the Premium Edition. That feedback made it clear: Lasombra and Toreador belong in the base game, so that is what we are doing,” said Marco Behrmann, White Wolf Executive Vice President and Bloodlines 2 Executive Producer. “We’d also like to thank The Chinese Room for their quick turnaround on the concepts for the post-launch Story Packs. We’re constantly impressed by their creativity and skill in weaving enticing narrative threads that expand on the main story in Bloodlines 2.”
