Today, Paradox Interactive and White Wolf, alongside developer The Chinese Room, announced that the Lasombra and Toreador clans have been added to the Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 base game and will be available for all players at launch. They also revealed two additional Story Packs, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 - Loose Cannon and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 - The Flower & the Flame, which allow players to explore Seattle through the perspectives of Camarilla Sheriff Benny Muldoon and Primogen Ysabella Moore, respectively. The Loose Cannon and The Flower & the Flame Story Packs are included in the Premium Edition's Expansion Pass and will launch in 2026.
"Thanks to our community for the frank feedback on Bloodlines 2 and the Premium Edition. That feedback made it clear: Lasombra and Toreador belong in the base game, so that is what we are doing," said Marco Behrmann, White Wolf Executive Vice President and Bloodlines 2 Executive Producer. "We'd also like to thank The Chinese Room for their quick turnaround on the concepts for the post-launch Story Packs. We're constantly impressed by their creativity and skill in weaving enticing narrative threads that expand on the main story in Bloodlines 2."
