Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2will feature a romance system, but when it comes to courting the undead, the player will mostly be feeding on their blood, keeping to their nature as children of the night.
The originalVampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlineshad some very dark romance options, especially Heather Poe, who the character can save with their blood, turning them into an addict and making them become obsessed with the player. This is a common occurrence in the tabletop RPG, where undead blood has magical properties, turning humans into ghouls, leading to them becoming dependent on their “donors.”
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 Might Be Out This Fall, Leaks Suggest
A store listing may have leaked a potential release date for the sequel.
Following the reveal of thegame’s delay to October 2025, a new preview of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 was released byPC Gamer, where it was revealed that the game would have romance options, with the player able to become certain important NPCs. However, unlike most video games, they will be feeding on each other, but romantically.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2’s Romance Is About Blood Drinking
According to creative director Alex Skidmore, “So there are some romantic options, but vampire romance isn’t the same as human romance. So we have—this is probably awful, and I don’t want to give this soundbite—a kind of romantic feeding."
Based on thegame’s recent ESRB rating, it’s unlikely there will beBaldur’s Gate 3-style love scenes, as there was no mention of nudity, though the game will have “Suggestive Themes.”The preview also revealed that it will be possible to feed on themortals in Bloodlines 2, but that’s usually in combat situations. Even then, they feel pleasure from the experience, thanks to the supernatural traits of vampires.
Drinking another vampire’s blood has a great deal more meaning in the tabletop RPG, as it’s much riskier. The more the player drinks another Kindred’s blood, the more they fall under a “Blood Bond,” where they fall under the influence and thrall to those they are bonded to. It’s unclear whether this ratherserious tabletop RPG mechanicwill be in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2.
Vampires and romance are closely linked in fiction, so it’s not surprising to see this element included in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. Indeed, a criticism of recentVampire: the Masqueradegames is the lack of this kind of content, and hopefully, the romantic feeding willplease fans of the franchisewho are looking for that kind of edge in their stories.
