Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is not having the best time of it. Announced in March of 2019, the sequel to the beloved RPG has seen delay after delay, and now it seems the game is in a more precarious position than ever.

News Humanity Has Been Delayed to 2021
Sounds about right
As unexpected as it was, Enhance Games delighted the world with the transcendent Tetris Effect.

News Skater XL Kickflips Onto PS4 a Little Later Than Expected
Delayed to late July
Electronic Arts appears to be almost hellbent on not developing Skate 4, so indie developers are producing their own take on the hotly-requested title in the meantime.
