Vampires of Bloodlines 2 Unleash Their Inner Worlds

This new Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 dev diary showcases exciting gameplay, focusing on the vampire hunter's mechanics. The game faithfully incorporates the Masquerade, a core tenet of the Vampire: The Masquerade universe, where vampires must conceal their true nature from humans.

A Masquerade meter visually represents the player's actions, indicating the level of Masquerade violation. Three distinct levels are displayed via an eye icon:

• Green: Minor infraction; simply hiding will suffice.
• Yellow: Multiple violations, such as feeding or using aggressive powers, have occurred. Players must manage witnesses or evade police attention.
• Red: The Masquerade is shattered, and the police are pursuing the player. Immediate escape and concealment are crucial, as the Camarilla will intervene once the meter is full, as demonstrated in the provided gameplay footage.

To mitigate their "infamy," players can employ various strategies: making witnesses forget, eliminating them, or, in the case of police involvement, seeking refuge and biding their time.

The developers emphasize that the risk of exposure escalates throughout the game, demanding swift and decisive action from players to maintain the Masquerade.
