Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been delayed indefinitely while developer Hardsuit Labs will no longer be the main developer at stake.
Publisher Paradox Interactive shared the news on its official website and via Twitterand added that Hardsuit Labs will no longer lead the development, but will give no explanation as to why it is happening now.
While it is currently unclear whether Hardsuit Labs will leave the project altogether, work is now underway on another studio on Bloodlines 2.

If the statement can pass something by, it sounds like everything that happened to Hardsuit Labs is friendly, as Paradox remarks: ‘We would like to take this opportunity to honor Hardsuit Labs for their efforts and thank them for their hard work. the project “.
“The studio has done a tremendous job laying the foundations for the game and we hope you, the community, will also appreciate their contribution to Bloodlines 2,” the statement said.
Paradox ends by saying that it is “grateful for your ongoing support during the development of the game” and that he hopes to share more with the community about the title soon.
