Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 adds Banu Haqim as third playable clan
Publisher Paradox Interactive and developer The Chinese Room have revealed Banu Haqim as the thidr playable clan in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2.
In Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, the player takes on the role of protagonist Phyre, an Elder Kindred Embraced during the early 17th century, and can chose from four playable clans: Banu Haqium, Brujah, Tremere, and a fourth clan to be announced in December.
Banu Haqim is a clan that focuses on stalking, assassination, and outmaneuvering enemies from the shadows with unseen maneuvers and silent takedowns.
“Making Phyre a Banu Haqim changes how players approach combat, offering a unique perspective to the game’s world,” said The Chinese Room project creative director Alex Skidmore in a press release. “Players must approach encounters carefully to make the most of this clan’s gifts, timing their strikes with finesse and precision to achieve their goals. These Kindred are patient and careful, making them ideal for players looking for a strategic experience.”
Paradox Interactive World of Darkness executive vice president Sean Greaney added, “Banu Haqim are scholars, warriors, and guardians in Vampire: The Masquerade. Players eagerly awaiting a more tactical playstyle are getting the clan they’ve been anticipating. Each clan has distinct qualities that fulfill a unique player fantasy and shape how they experience Bloodlines 2. Kindred clans in Vampire: The Masquerade have their own long-lived worlds filled with history, motivations, and power structures. The Chinese Room has done an expert job translating these complex entities into an impactful RPG experience that is meaningful to players and feels at home in World of Darkness.”
