There are two things missing in this trailer.

Will there be a multiplayer mode ? 
Any information about that ?

True clarity lies in complete insanity.

I guess they don't want us to play slutty looking undead cheerleaders?

So is each clan going to have its own storyline you follow or is it one story that the clan you picked melds with?

Same storyline, which varies according to clan. Well that's what the original was like anyway.

I'm treating this game the same as Cyberpunk 2077. Staying far from any information to enjoy the full surprise at launch. These are my two most anticipated western releases while also trying to keep the hype at a minimum.

Didn't we have Nosferatu and Tzimisce in the first game? I guess they may be a dlc, but it is that sort of game design that makes my play at least a year after launch. I can't reload a game 6 months later when new content comes out, just the way I play.

I don't think there was DLC in the first game. They barely got it out the door.

Well lookie here, the psych ward has finally been announced!

They were included, only Nosferatu was playable.  Really, though, the restrictions for Nos make them super tough to include in an RPG.  They literally cannot be in the presence of humans without breaking the Masquerade severely.

Would love to see the Tzimisce playable, but I want a full-on fleshcrafting system if they do!

I think that's sort of the fun. Keeping out of people's sight.

This game has some big shoes to fill. Where's that in-game footage?

Really? It's a single player RPG.

In the tabletop, this is pretty easily gotten around with Obfuscate. At level 3, you can appear as a normal person nobody pays any attention to.

June 10th at E3, it's mentioned at the end of the Malkavian trailer.

You'll start as a thin blood, doing chores in hope to be accepted in one of those houses - as the game progresses you prove yourself enough to be accepted (so you chose one of them) and they turn you into one following the V5 ruleset which allows thinblood to "evolve" into one of the bloodlines known.

I don't know if the process ingame will have anything to do with diablerie or is just a ritual, either way after the "tutorial" you pick one of them and get additional disciplines (powers) to add in your current pool (along with thin blood powers).

I agree, The first game didn't have Multiplayer, why should this one?

This is like revealing a M16 for the next Call of Duty.

Or maybe they should make a Minecraft 2 and reveal dirt blocks.

I'll save the suspense for the reveals for the other clans. These all better be in it.

• Brujah
  
• Gangrel
• Malkavian
• Nosferatu
• Toreador
• Tremere
• Ventrue

Captain Obvious reveal much?

A dlc for the new game with the two missing clans. If you want to do any sewer lurking we may have to wait for that.

Grangel and Nosferatu aren't going to be playable in the base game.

The first game, Redemption, had multiplayer and it was a blast. A quasi Neverwinter dungeon master mode.

Yes, bloodlines 2 needs multiplayer. Can you imagine what modding and private online RP servers with some tools for dungeon master would do to the game's longevity?

Ignoring that possibility is a missed opportunity in my opinion.

All the playable clans with the game launch content were already revealed. The others will be added later as paid DLC.
