New Bloodlines 2 trailer showcases deadly powers of the Ventrue clan

The Chinese Room has released a new trailer for Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2, spotlighting the Ventrue. One of the oldest clans in the World of Darkness, the Ventrue specialize in mind control — and their manipulations often end in death.

Over the next six weeks, the studio will debut trailers for other clans: Tremere (September 10), Brujah (September 17), Banu Haqim (September 24), Lasombra (October 2), and Toreador (October 15).

Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 launches October 21 on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. We’ve already gone hands-on with a preview build — you can read our impressions here.
