That things, for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, did not go very well, was already in the air: in addition to last year's postponement, with the move of the game to 2021, the title also saw the dismissal of creative directors and narrative leads in 2020, as well as the departure of writer Chris Avellone due to accusations of sexually assaulting some women.

But it wasn't over here, today comes the worst news: Paradox Interactive announced that it has removed the entire Hardsuit Labs team from the development of the game, thus cancelling the release scheduled for 2021 and without providing further details either on who will continue the development, nor on when we could expect the launch of the game.

The publisher explains that this is a very important project, and they were evidently dissatisfied with hardsuit's progress by coming to make the decision to remove them. We are now waiting for announcements about the new development team.
