World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt - VTM battle royale

[CyberModuled]

How does one publisher (Paradox) botch up an IP like World of Darkness this badly within five years? Not even a major fan given my limited experience outside of Bloodlines 1 and skimming through V20 from time to time but when all you have to show is a new rulebook/lore that most people don't like, a bunch of mediocrity tier VN/Telltale esque experience software, Werewolf shovelware, an indefinitely delayed dumpster fire, and now to Nosgoth 2.0, it honestly makes me happy I'm not a long time fan, I'd be fucking furious at what they've done and it mostly has only been with Vampire.

Also the fucking irony of a series with "MASQUERADE" in the title and about a secret society being discrete as possible deciding to just fucking murder each other on the streets casually now. Not that a multiplayer centric title would be good either way, but at the very least, if it is PVP focused, make some fucking stealth like. Even something as trashy as Ass Creed got a bit of a neat concept with it during the Ezio period.

Yeah. It's a shitty thing to do to shut down the servers and not even release a public version for people to host. Absolute dick move.

Well, its still pretty easy to play.

I wonder if more notable developers simply aren't interested.

May have expected something creatively bankrupt like this after release, but before Bloodlines 2 is even out?

Sharkmob has revealed a new type of Vampire: The Masquerade game - and it's going to be a battle royale.

In a new update on the developer's website outlining its upcoming projects, the studio teased two additional "highly ambitious, AAA quality projects" as well as the new battle royale, which it says will be "a thrilling take on a cult classic IP".

"Experience the next thrilling evolution of Battle Royale multiplayer action games set in the cult classic Vampire: The Masquerade universe where vampire sects are at war across the streets and rooftops of Prague," a game description says (thanks, PCGN). "Choose your playstyle, go solo or together, battling rivals and the hostile Entity who's hellbent on exterminating all vampires. Use your supernatural powers, weapons and blood to become stronger in order to hunt, fight and survive the night."

We also got a cinematic teaser, too - have a peek yourself:



The game is scheduled for release in the latter half of 2021 which is, of course, when the recently delayed Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is also expected to release. As yet, it's unknown what platforms the new game will be heading to, though.

As Wesley detailed at the time, Andy Kipling, boss of developer Hardsuit Labs, and Jakob Munthe, boss of role-playing games at publisher Paradox, said in a joint statement that Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 needs more time "to ensure the best player experience possible".

The statement also mentions "organisational changes", although it did not elaborate.

Remember that time in bloodlines when there's vampires battle royaling in Santa Monica trying to kill you.

I'll save us, don't worry.

I am no expert in Vampire The Masquerade lore, but isn't the whole point of "The Masquerade" to not get caught by humans? How does a vampire battle arena fit into this?

 

[udm]

is this english?

It sounds like one of those sentences put together when you randomly tap Autocomplete words on your phone's keyboard.

here's one

I have a good day to be a gritty reboot. First Riverdale and a few times she got too excited about the last night.

Sharkmob was founded in 2017 by former Ubisoft employees. Ubisoft recently released Hyper Scape, which is not RuneScape 4 but instead is... a battle royale game set in a city with a focus on mobility.



And now this comes out. This was already teased back in 2019 on GameIndustry.biz:

And yes, they are owned by Tencent. So keep that in mind.
