The ESRB has posted up a rating for the long-delayed Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, and to the surprise of no one I’m sure, the game has picked up a Mature certificate.ESRB’s description of the game reveals a slew of mature-rated content including gore, sexual material and bad language, and goes into quite a bit of detail about combat, describing “frenetic” battles that combine melee attacks with vampiric powers. This isn’t the first rating that Bloodlines 2 has picked up, as it was rated in South Korea in January. You can read the full description below.Related Content – Upcoming PS5 Games 2025: The Best PS5 Games Coming SoonThis is an action role-playing game in which players help two vampires regain their memories and their powers to stop an uprising. From a first-person perspective, players explore city streets, investigate murders, interact with characters, and battle vampires in melee-style combat. Players use physical attacks (e.g., claw slashes, kicks, feed/bite attacks) and vampiric powers (e.g., telekinesis, possession) to kill enemy vampires. Players can also employ stealth attacks (e.g., neck snap, feed attack) to kill enemies discreetly.Battles are frenetic, accompanied by impact sounds, realistic gunfire, and large blood-splatter effects. Some attacks can result in close-up sequences of players’ character decapitating and/or impaling enemies. A handful of areas depict decapitated corpses in pools of blood; large bloodstains also appear in several environments. The game contains suggestive/sexual material in the dialogue (e.g., “snacking on wh*res,”; “p*ssy musta…real sweet”; and “D*ldo of consequence don’t come lubed, does it?”). The word “f**k” is heard in the game.Meanwhile, Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 has been in development for a number of years now, and was originally helmed by Hardsuit Labs before it was pulled off the project in 2021. The Chinese Room took over the development reins, with the game is now pencilled in for a release in the first half of 2025.[Source – ESRB via Reddit]
