Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 Got an Update
Paradox Interactive’s Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 has received an encouraging update, with the TTRPG inspired game getting a rating from the ESRB.
ESRB Rating for Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2
In the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the Entertainment Software Review Board, or ESRB, reviews media and gives ratings based on the type of content present. More family-friendly video games like the Super Mario Bros. franchise often receive E ratings, meaning the game is suitable for “Everyone,” while titles that contain violence, language, and sexually suggestive content generally receive an M for “Mature” rating. Since these ratings can only be handed out when a video game has mostly finalized all of its content, the ESRB classifications can give fans a hint at how ready a game like Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 is to release.
The official ESRB rating for Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 has been revealed as M, with a slew of gameplay and story details revealed in the ratings summary. According to the details on the rating page, players can look forward to physical attacks like claw slashes, kicks, biting, and neck-snapping, along with “realistic gunfire” and “large blood-splatter effects.” The rating further explains that Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 will have decapitations, impalement, “pools of blood,” and mature language with sexually suggestive dialogue and cursing. Fans who enjoyed the original Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines have been keeping their fingers crossed that the sequel would up the ante with more brutal combat, and it would seem that Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 is poised to be a certified bloodbath.
Many recent video games with troubled development cycles eventually made their way to fans, with a mix of successful launches and disappointing releases. Whether Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 will make the positive impact fans are hoping for remains to be seen, but the M rating and details from the ESRB are promising. Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 is currently slated for a 2025 release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
