While many World of Darkness fans still try to wrap their head around developer Sharkmob’s still untitled Vampire Battle Royale project, other questions have arisen about the monetization of the game. Those getting over the initial confusion now have confirmation that the game will be free-to-play with no “pay-to-win” mechanics. The main source of monetization will come from optional aesthetic purchases.

Unfortunately for the World of Darkness brand, while a Vampire: The Masquerade Battle Royale hasn’t been met with hostility, many fans are more concerned about a much bigger title. The long-awaited Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 was revealed last year and has since faced numerous hits of bad news. With Bloodlines 2 recently losing a narrative designer after numerous delays, fans are more concerned with the sequel to a beloved RPG than a Battle Royale title.
So with the basic details out of the way, all that is left is seeing the game in action. Fans are still eager to see how Sharkmob’s title will play out, but those hoping for some basic training in the Battle Royale genre have time before the expected 2021 launch.
Sharkmob’s Vampire battle royale is in development and set to launch in the second half of 2021.
