World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 - VTMB sequel from The Chinese Room - coming early 2025

Enemy concepts seem 10+ years too late tbh. Is it supposed to be set in the 2010s or earlier?

Just Seattle people made to look a bit more intimidating than they are.

That isn't in any way shape or form how current Seattle is.

Current Seattle is basically homless/druggies everywhere (for the most part).

Those are the CHAZ/CHOP people from 2020.

Goons and the Entity will have all their faces covered. Not showing faces so they can save time/money on that. Commonly from low budget projects.

Reminds me of Rage/Rage 2.

It sound great for a RPG. A lot off mobs to kill, easy XP, abadoned places as mission zones etc.

They look terrible, not in a good way, like an updated version of Futurama's multicultural gang.

I never thought I'd see something as hip as eating a burger through cloth.

Bloodlines, on the other hand, was in the 'not an existing fan' category - that is to say, I wasn't familiar with it beforehand and had to catch up. I loved it so much I took days off work to play.

Alot of the IP writer crowed tend to fake an affection for their current work for PR reasons of course, I remembering that i once joined a Narrative designers tumblr discussion were they tip each other how to write for a current game while avoiding playing it (watching YT walkthroughs and reading wikis were the popular solutions).
i highly doubt that she actuality played the game.

Would she really post a screenshot from character creation of a game she has no intention of playing to impress a few dozen people?

Would someone spend a few dollars and a few minutes to virtue signal? Herp derp.

If she actually played the game, why not a screenshot from a saved game?

Ventrue is clan number four. Pretty boring selection, tbh. Would post website, but not getting access on my phone.

"Blue-blooded tyrants."
Interesting choice of words.

 

[Tyranicon]

I dont think most people expected otherwise.

Ventrue is almost obligatory in most VtM stuff.

 

[Roguey]

No 15 second trailer this time, guess they already used up the trailer budget? Alternately, the reception to them was so unpopular that they decided to just not bother.

A third possibility: given the animated concept art gif on the page, the class isn't even fully implemented yet, so there's nothing to show.

 

[Shaja]

No video this time? Just a GIF to give us an idea

 

[RagingNomad]

Lol, Like I said before. But why they choose Ventrue? And why they kept this mystery with last clan? I hoped that it will be Lasombra. And outfit looks like Lasombra's

 

[RagingNomad]

Interesting that there is no this skin in previous concepts. So, last two relates to DLC?

 

[Herumor]

Bland as fuck choice of Clans.

 

[Shaja]

Maybe that 4th outfit is the default one.
And the 5th could be a prototype for Ventrue or a DLC clan. After all, concept arts is just early ideas.

Fourth Playable Clan: Ventrue​

Good evening Kindred,

Last month, we announced three of four playable clans in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2: Brujah, Tremere and Banu Haqim. Today, we’d like to share the fourth clan with you: Ventrue. The clan assets for Ventrue are in the process of being finalized, and we will share assets and gameplay showing off the playstyle of Ventrue during next year. Ahead of that deep dive we’re showing off an in-game render of Phyre in one of the Ventrue-themed outfits (all clans can earn all outfits).

Following launch, two additional clans will be made available in DLC: one giving you a new way to experience the main-game and another offering a completely unique Seattle story.

Who are the Ventrue?​

The Clan of Kings, Blue Bloods, Tyrants, Warlords, Patricians, Borgias

Ventrue vampires usually choose their progeny from mortals familiar with power, wealth and influence. Seeing themselves as the rightful leaders of vampire society, Kindred of clan Ventrue take up the mantle of leadership wherever possible, often in the form of high positions in Camarilla Courts.

Concept Art​

Ventrue powers focus on domination, forcing foes to obey your commands.

Playing as a Ventrue in Bloodlines 2​

Ventrue are blue blooded tyrants who incite obedience in both their allies and their foes. Using the Disciplines of Presence and Dominate, they can mesmerize as well as awe their prey. Feeding builds up Fortitude, allowing the Ventrue to soak up more damage in case any enemy is powerful enough to resist their force of will.

Image: Concept art of Phyre with one of the Ventrue-styled outfits. All clans can earn all outfits.

What's Next?​

Following the holiday break, we’ll be back with an extended gameplay reveal in January 2024 before going into depth on each playable clan during the opening months of 2024.

 

[Gahbreeil]

Here's hoping there will be a Malkavian add-on.

 

[Wesp5]

They announced their clan reveal scheme themselves and didn't manage to get a working 15 seconds video for the last one?

Funny, this gif is labeled as "concept art". There is no Venture in game, perhaps even is old build.

 

[Storyfag]

But why they choose Ventrue?

Least Discipline implementation cost.

 

[The President]

“Feeding builds up fortitude”

So it isn’t a discipline that you directly use?

You know it's a quality game when they misspell 'fourth' twice (once in the subject line and once in the body) in the announcement email:
