There’s nonetheless no information on long-awaited RPG Bloodlines 2, however we do have one more Vampire: The Masquerade recreation on the way in which. This time round it is Justice, a brand new VR journey that sends gamers to the darkish streets of Venice looking for the reality behind a darkish conspiracy.
Revealed throughout as we speak’s Meta Quest Gaming Showcase, Vampire: The Masquerade – Justice follows the story of Justice, a member of the Banu Haqim clan, who travels to the house of the death-worshipping Hecata clan to trace down and punish the killers of their sire, and uncover the thriller behind the theft of an historical relic.
Gamers will use a mixture of stealth, blood magic, and a hidden crossbow to take down enemies and resolve puzzles as they develop in energy by upgrading their talents alongside separate stealth, fight, and stamina ability bushes. Alongside the “gritty predominant narrative,” there can even be a number of facet missions to tackle, and distinctive dialog choices in character interactions.
The most effective a part of the expertise, although, would be the easy sightseeing: Developer Quick Journey Video games promised a grim journey by way of a darkish Venice unseen by vacationers, crammed with “murky alleyways, ensanguined canals, forgotten catacombs, and opulent palazzos.”
It positively appears to be like like an attention-grabbing place:

I do not suppose a VR recreation goes to fill the void left by the still-MIA Bloodlines 2, however the trailer appears to seize the Vampire temper properly sufficient, and I’ve to confess that I had related qualms about Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt, a World of Darkness battle royale that debuted final yr, and it turned out to be actually good. (Which was not sufficient to put it aside, sadly.) And the setting, a darkish and gritty outdated metropolis that goes unseen in the course of the day, looks like an excellent match for the immersive perspective of VR.
Justice will really be developer Quick Journey Video games’ second VR tackle the World of Darkness: In 2021, it launched the VR-exclusive Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife, one other creepy story of undeath and thriller. It was properly acquired by VR specialty websites, however did not fare fairly so properly on Steam, the place it holds a “blended” score over 58 person opinions. Hopefully Justice will land somewhat higher.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Justice is ready to return out in late 2023 and shall be accessible for the Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3 (which was formally introduced as we speak), in addition to PlayStation VR2.
