World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from Hardsuit Labs

What if this is a historic day?
A day when Obsidian backstabbed us and Paradox emerged as our lord and savior?

"Paradox Interactive has acquired the White Wolf license from CCP Games, who at one time had plans to make an ambitious modern gothic MMO by the name of World of Darkness. Alas, that did not come to pass, with CCP cancelling the game and rededicating itself to the EVE universe. Now, it's sold the White Wolf license—which includes the World of Darkness and Vampire: The Masquerade pen 'n' paper RPGs—to Paradox. The sale includes previously released games such as Redemption and Bloodlines, but also all the assets from CCP's cancelled MMO—it "includes everything", in other words.

Shams Jorjani, Paradox's VP of Acquisition & Portfolio Strategy, announced the news on Twitter, stating that "Paradox Interactive has bought White wolf and all properties from CCP. Very very very exciting." Yes 'tis, as it was a huge shame to see the license lying dormant.

"We've been huge fans of the white wolf IPs for a long time," Shams added in another tweet, "especially World of Darkness/Vampire. Gonna be great to give it some fresh blood." "

And here we fuckin are...

What's all this stuff about a MMO? Don't you remember Hardsuit Labs and all the hints pointing at Seattle as location of the game? How would you do a vampire MMO in Seattle ?

 

[Jenkem]

they can't even program a functioning website and you people think they program a functioning game?

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

So I was right it is going to be a huge open-city GTA-style game, but I didn't think it would be an MMO. No matter what it is, I shall buy and play and enjoy. Just hope it's got 'dem RPG Elements.

The artwork from the sale of the MMO assets ended up in the V5 books. Other than that, the only work we know went on for the MMO was the (quite good) procedural city tech and some combat prototypes. I wouldn't worry too much about it necessarily being revived in MMO form. Though the fact Hardsuit is known only for a multiplayer shooter is not a nice thing.

EDIT: Oh... that's not a good sign, either. http://twitch.tenderbeta.com

was finally able to log in, I had to change my paradox plaza password twice before it would work... fucking ridic

Hm. I wonder if Paradox changed their password requirements since the last time you updated it. Causes that kind of thing when the company doesn't force everyone to update.

I had no problems logging into paradoxplaza.com though

The deal comprised an undisclosed all-cash sum for CCP Games, and the company assets of White Wolf Publishing, their intellectual property and the rights to World of Darkness Online for Paradox Interactive.[28][29][30]

So I mean it actually could be one

If it is, I hope they have Alice & Smith developing it. Their work on The Secret World was really good in terms of actually letting you get immersed in the world with their "investigation" quests and the ARG-like sites they created to blend fiction with real world. It almost scratched the itch left by Majestic when EA pulled the plug on it in light of 9/11.

We know Alice & Smith created and is running the current Tender ARG for them, so it's within the realm of possibility, I think.
