Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 recently emerged after radio silence during the Inside Xbox live stream with a new trailer.

Bloodlines 2 was originally set for to launch in Q1 2020 but was ultimately delayed to later in the year. While the delay was a disappointment to fans who have been waiting over 15 years for the sequel, the new launch window likely made the next-gen versions more viable.
