Oh, now that we know that the concept art reflects a certain clan's look, we can guess the rest:

Confirmed: brujah
Confident: gangrel
Less certain: tremere, ventrue? The last one looks kinda disheveled, maybe malkavian?

Thank Cain, the rightmost three are recognizably one gender or another.

In HSL's build the women looked like women (several women in Lou's case) and the men looked like men. All named NPCs had personality, and there was going to be cameos from the original. Damsel was confirmed, and Damp was suspected to be Vandall Cleaver, "upgraded" from ghoul to kindred.

Why couldn't those Paradox assholes just hand this over to CDProjekt? Looks like we'll get a cut-rate CP2077 no matter what.

I feel like the one in the middle can be either Ventrue or Lasombra, fourth one is Toreador and the last one could be an Assamite, though admittedly I never looked too much into them, so I have no idea about what they get for generalized appearance.

All this looks like they did a Saints Row. I bet there also will be students loan jokes.

Or Tremere.

Likely. Could also be Ventrue if the middle one is not.
the last one could be an Assamite
Would be my guess as well. Which makes the presence of a Tremere more likely, as these two Clans now share the Discipline of Blood Sorcery (each with their own signature quirks).

This is the marketing collateral, bros.

This is what they think is the most appealing of what they have so far.

Jesus Christ, I would never show this and I work with goddam DAZ models.

19 years of waiting for something decent after the first VtM:Bloodlines, and we get this.
Fuck, we didn't even get a competent vampire sim in all of those years.

They were giraffes, but most coomers didn't look above the midriff so for them it was ok.

We need to stop with this revisionist history. Just because what we currently have is shit doesn't automatically make prior attempts any less shit just as a way to further wallow into self-pity over the current shit you have to deal with. This is straight up gaslighting and my socialist friends will not stand for it.

There was a crossover with Dying Light recently where they alluded (unofficially) to 3 of the 4 clans. They are Banu Haqim, Tremere, and Brujah.

The clan symbols are mixed up in this picture, but it was fixed on the official site.
https://pilgrimoutpost.techlandgg.com/events/vampire-the-masquerade

So the confirmed disciplines we have in-game so far are: Blood Sorcery, Celerity, Obfuscate, Dominate, Auspex, Potence, and Presence.
This means that we currently have all disciplines for Toreador and Malkavian in the game. Dementation, in V5, is now an amalgam of Obfuscate and Dominate. They might reserve the Malks for DLC, however.

We know who the Brujah is in that picture. I am also confident that the model with the bloodstone necklace (fourth one) is a Tremere, since bloodstones are very emblematic of Tremere. The second one looks like it could be Banu Haqim, since it fits the whole stealth assassin aesthetic. We remain with the 3rd and the 5th. One of them is probably Malkavian, and the 5th one looks like the best bet for that. The fact that it's last might hint that it will be the DLC clan. The only one left is the 3rd one, which could fit for a Toreador. The fact that they're in a lithe/graceful pose with legs close together would hint to that.

So basically my guess is:
1st. Brujah - 2nd Banu Haqim - 3rd Toreador - 4th Tremere - 5th Malkavian

I do wonder if Avellone is back to writing for VtMB2 now that Mitsoda is out and they had this very recent Dying Light colab.

I thought that 2nd or 3d is Ventrue or Lasombra: black style, sharp-dressed.

It might be just a random bauble, not a bloodstone though.
It might be, but I think it's noticably inspired by the bloodstar trinket in the original Bloodlines, given to you by Strauss. You can see it better in this picture, notice it's the same velvet coat and red turtleneck.

The turtleneck and professor pants also scream Tremere to me.
