Paradox and The Chinese Room are currently addressing the backlash surrounding the DLC for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. After introducing paid DLC for the Toreador and Lasombra clans, reactions from the community were overwhelmingly negative, leading to discussions about pricing strategies and inclusivity.

The long-anticipated RPG is set to launch on October 21, yet the announcement regarding the DLC, priced at $21.99/£18.69, raised eyebrows. This move to lock essential game content behind a paywall was poorly received, particularly since the game itself has faced numerous delays and controversies.

As a response to this outcry, Paradox has indicated that they are considering adjustments to the DLC access model ahead of the game’s release. Players will still be able to purchase the DLC separately or through the Bloodlines 2 Premium Edition. Further updates are expected to clarify the changes being made and possibly address player concerns more thoroughly. Stay tuned for announcements regarding this passionate community feedback.*
