- Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 Pre-Orders will be refunded starting September 8th.
- This decision happened right after Paradox locked two classes behind a paywall.
- The game is finally set to release next month, but many fans have already given up on it.
The sequel to 2004’s cult RPG, Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2, is finally being released after over two decades. However, Paradox hasn’t been treating this project kindly, with mishaps happening every so often.
Just recently, pre-orders for the game opened, and the pricing model caused significant controversy. Now, the publisher is rethinking its actions and, in doing so, has started offering refunds for the game.
Why it matters: Even prior to its release, fans have lost hope for Bloodlines 2, lowering their expectations that it’ll come anywhere near the original release. Constant delays, among other issues, have led to its hype dying.
On the official Bloodlines 2 Discord, community developer DebbieElla issued a statement saying that the premium edition of the game will be refunded starting on September 8th.
Surprisingly, this refund was only mentioned for PlayStation users, and Xbox and Steam players weren’t included in the message. Nevertheless, full details regarding the new adjustment and changes are expected on September 17th.
Players would still be able to pre-order the game later, before the planned October 21st.
For some context, two of the clans in Bloodlines 2 were locked behind a DLC, which was included in the premium edition, that was priced at a whopping $90. Separately, the Shadows & Silk pack still cost around $21.99, which was absurd just for two classes.
Nevertheless, there’s no doubt that Bloodlines 2 has significantly improved, although it may have taken years and a shift of developer studio to do so. Still, if it measures up to anything near the original, players will see for themselves soon enough.
