Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Reveals Brujah Clan in New Teaser Trailer

Yesterday, a massive sunspot spanning 200,000 kilometers containing as many as 12 dark cores was reported on the Sun. As per information from the NASA Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO), there was a high chance that it could explode at any moment, and that is exactly what happened just an hour ago. An M-class solar flare was seen erupting on the sunspot, whose extreme ultraviolet radiation sparked a short-wave radio blackout on the Earth. While NASA has not been able to confirm the presence of any Earth-bound coronal mass ejection (CME), this information should be revealed in a few hours' time.

The Chinese Room and Paradox Interactive have revealed plenty of new details on Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 in the weeks since its re-reveal, talking about its design philosophies, narrative themes, neo-noir art style, the protagonist, and much more, and lately, has started sharing new details on the playable clans that will be available in the game. Last week, we got our first look at the Brujah clan, and now, the developers have offered a glimpse of the Tremere vampires.

The second of four playable clans in Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 was unveiled today in a new teaser trailer published by Paradox Interactive and The Chinese Room.

Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 is getting a new playable clan named the Tremere.

The Chinese Room has given us an incredibly brief look at the second of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2's four launch clans. After showing off the Brujah last week, we're now getting a glimpse of the Tremere, Bloodlines' gothy blood mages.

Brujah are the first of four playable clans to be revealed for Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 since developer The Chinese Room took over the game's development.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has named its first playable race: the Brujah, who love to settle brouhahas with brutal melee combat. A brief, fifteen second trailer showed a little of that combat in action in The Chinese Room's rebooted take on the RPG sequel. Find it below.

Now that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has a new developer, The Chinese Room, we're going through the whole rigamarole of teasers and reveals all over again, starting now and carrying on into 2024, and possibly beyond. I hope you're prepared. 

Paradox Interactive and developer The Chinese Room have revealed the Brujah, the first of four playable vampiric clans that will feature within Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. See them in action here:

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the cult-favorite RPG from the now-defunct Troika Games, and it's had a bit of an interesting development period following its initial 2018 announcement from developer Hardsuit Lands. Now handled by developer The Chinese Room, the large-scale and involved role-playing game looks to not only bring back Bloodlines' particular brand of role-playing but also modernize the series in a big way.

Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines 2 main character has been revealed, and that character is Phyre. Phyre has been a vampire since the 17th century, and has settled in Seattle to influence the power structures. Outside of the name, players will pick everything about Phyre from gender, clan, the blood diet, behaviours, and outfits. Every character design decision will impact how Seattle’s denizens react to Phyre.
