Introduction
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is a narrative-driven RPG set in the alternative version of modern Seattle, where Vampires are the ruling class. It comes more than two decades after the original game that, while suffering from a range of issues at release, turned into a cult classic in the intervening years. The game is developed by The Chinese Room under Paradox Interactive. It tries to embody the gothic aesthetic and moral decline of the board game and its predecessor, offering a fresh take on the series that focuses on personal horror, political intrigue, and the fight to hold onto humanity amid perpetual darkness. Players delve into an intricate network of conspiracies and supernatural groups, with a focus on decision-making during dialogues, which can have long-lasting consequences.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is made in Unreal Engine 5 and comes with a full suite of UE5 features such as Lumen, Nanite, and Virtual Shadow Maps. Upscalers-wise, you can pick between DLSS, and FSR, with the game offering FSR 4 support out of the box. You can also use DLSS and FSR frame generation.
