Fans of the franchise have been eagerly awaiting this game, and we are up to the challenge.»
He adds: «We are bringing more than 15 years of award-winning experience to the project, creating a game that honours the legacy of its predecessor while bringing its gameplay to the modern era.» As for why The Chinese Room was picked for the project, vice president of the World of Darkness brand Sean Greaney explained it was the studio's passion for the source material. «Fans of the franchise can rest assured knowing that Bloodlines 2 is in good hands, and we will have more to share with you in January.»
