Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Pre-Order Bonuses, Price, And More – GameSpot

There are plenty of exciting games releasing on PS4 and Xbox One this year, but naturally, we're all hungry for new information on next-generation games that will launch on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. Microsoft's May Inside Xbox stream revealed a slew of upcoming games coming to Xbox Series X--one of them being Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. Since then, a new trailer has confirmed the game will release on PS5 as well. The dark vampire RPG will release on both next-generation consoles as well as Xbox One, PS4, and PC in late 2020. No exact release date has been confirmed, but the game is up for pre-order with several special editions and pre-order bonuses.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 was originally planned to release in Q1 2020, but publisher Paradox Interactive announced late last year that the game was delayed to later in 2020. While it's unknown whether Bloodlines 2 will release this holiday season alongside PS5 and Xbox Series X or will have a separate release date for the next-gen consoles, Microsoft has confirmed Bloodlines 2 supports Xbox Series X Smart Delivery. That means you can safely pre-order the game for Xbox One and automatically receive the Series X version as well. The game also features cross-gen character saves so that your progress on Xbox One will transfer over to Series X. Unfortunately, no equivalent service has been announced for PS5, so if you're looking to play on that platform, you'll want to hold off on pre-ordering for now.

Bloodlines 2 is an RPG and the sequel to 2004's Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. The game takes place in 21st-century Seattle within the "World of Darkness," where vampires, werewolves, demons, and other supernatural creatures exist among humans. Your character is a human recently killed and revived as a "thinblood" vampire, one with weaker powers than full-blood vampires. In this world, there are various vampire clans with different strengths and abilities, and there are also five different factions representing different ideals and positions in society.

The RPG features mostly first-person gameplay and lets you create your own vampire character, including selecting their background for who they were as a human and choosing their vampiric power (or "Discipline), which can be upgraded over time. You'll eventually be able to join one of the vampire clans, which unlocks new abilities, and can ally yourself with one of the factions, which impacts your interactions with other characters.

If the idea of stalking the streets as a vampire intrigues you, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is now up for pre-order with several special editions to choose from. There are also incentives for pre-ordering early in the form of some digital bonus items. Read on for everything you need to know about pre-ordering Bloodlines 2 before it lands on console and PC later this year.

Anyone who pre-orders Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will receive the First Blood pre-order pack, which includes a digital copy of the official soundtrack, engraved pistol weapon skin, retro hunter outfit, and civil war saber weapon skin. As of this time, no retailers are offering exclusive bonuses.

The game's standard edition is called the First Blood Edition, and it's selling for $60. You'll receive the base game and pre-order bonuses. The First Blood Edition is available to pre-order below. Note the slight discount available on PC via Green Man Gaming--this is a code you must redeem on Steam.

The story packs will "take you deeper into the underbelly of Seattle and introduce some of the more fantastical denizens from the World of Darkness."
