Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is a title that was somewhat sinking under the radar with a supposed Q1 2020 launch on PlayStation 4. Fighting for exposure amongst the likes of fellow RPGs Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy VII Remake, it may not have gotten the attention it deserves. Developer Hardsuit Labs need not worry about that problem anymore, however, as the studio has decided to delay the game.
It'll still launch at some point next year, but as stated in the team's latest blog post, it didn't want to repeat the same mistakes that were made with the original title's launch. Despite improving its processes and growing the studio with more and more staff throughout 2019, Andy Kipling and Brian Mitsoda both agree that the upcoming vampire simulator needs more time in development.
This now assumedly puts the game in a position where it'll release just before the next-gen PlayStation 5. We doubt the team will have time to work on a PS5 version before getting the current-gen experience out the door, but at least we'll still be able to play it on our new consoles through backwards compatibility.

And the award for "Most Convoluted Game Title" goes to...
It needs it. The gameplay I saw looked really rough.
@RogerRoger ...Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days still
Try to say it correctly.
I dare you!
Still, this game's title is really wonky! Haha
If only the original game had a nice meaty delay. Maybe then it wouldn't need all those mods to run properly
not sure if they are afraid of The last of us 2 in February
Board meeting chair - 'we have just realised our game is releasing the same time as 3 of the biggest games ever and have to change the date'
Board member - 'but what about all the blood sweat and tears?'
Chair - 'listen Dracula we hired you as research don't bring your private life into this.'
Not surprised. I think this is great news as the game looked like it needed more polish. I look forward to it!
I don't mind as I rather it has some room to breathe and intice people to play it. Next year is looking pretty nuts to be honest. I don't think I'll actually sleep hahaha 😂
