In a recent blog post, Brian Mitsoda, the former narrative lead for Bloodlines 2, opened up about the troubled history of Hardsuit Labs’ project. He stated that despite his firing along with creative director Ka’ai Cluney, he remains proud of their team’s contributions. Mitsoda highlighted a significant shift after the original game was taken over by a new development team, The Chinese Room, indicating that he hasn’t been in touch with anyone from the project since his departure.

“This makes me sad, but it’s really out of my hands.”

Mitsoda expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of communication from Paradox regarding the game’s future. However, he is currently engaged in developing two new games independently, showcasing his resilience in the gaming industry despite past setbacks. His insights provide a glimpse into the realities of game development and the challenges faced by creative professionals in the field.
