Lasombra and Toreador Clans Added to Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 base game following fan backlash to original premium DLC plans

Paradox Interactive, White Wolf, and The Chinese Room have announced that the Lasombra and Toreador Clans have been added to the Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 base game. This follows significant fan pushback against the original plan to charge players to access these clans as part of launch premium downloadable content.

DLC is coming to the game, in the form of Story Packs, due after release. These two packs will focus on the perspectives of Camarilla Sheriff Benny Muldoon and Primogen Ysabella Moore. These will be 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.”

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is due to release on 21st October for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles. Bertie played a bite of the game back in August and had mixed feelings.
