In any case, seeing how this game is a direct sequel (and using/recreating at least some of the assets), they must have bought out all the remaining rights from Activision.
Paradox trademarked the name Bloodlines some years ago (https://www.pcinvasion.com/vampire-bloodlines-trademarked-paradox-owned-white-wolf/) and as many of the Bloodlines NPCs were already mentioned in Beckett's diary, it's probably only the game itself that Activision still hold complete rights for.
Weren't chars like Jeanette, Lacroix, original creations of Troika? Later added to canon lore?
