I love the Vampire: the Masquerade IP, but this doesn't really fit much with the setting. Some sort of political elimination game would fit, but hard to do that in 10 minutes. Unless the gameplay is truly spectacular, I can't help but wonder how many people the V:tM brand is going to draw to it that wouldn't otherwise play a Battle Royale. And how many people who would play Battle Royale would be intrigued by the idea of this game? We'll see, I guess.

Still looking forward to Swansong and hoping for Bloodlines 2 to not be terrible when it comes out in 2027.

It's funny that vtm2 died, but this lived on. Chasing a trend that has already died as no game has dethroned the established properties.

Just from my own knowledge of the current BR giants, I think Apex is the only one thats made a pretty big name for itself. The COD one apparently does pretty well, but its an established IP with a huge fanbase already.

IDK how this'll do, does seem like they're late to the BR Party but then again, I've never played a VTM game.

Fortnite is still going strong, as is PUG.

Whoops, yah, I know lol. The man I was responding too mentioned in context of a new contender fighting "Established Properties", and PUBG/Fortnite are the ones I envision as Established Properties.

But I wasn't clear on that in my post, apologies.

PS5 details

Bloodhunt on PS5 has a performance target of 60 FPS and will make full use of the DualSense wireless controller. You will be able to feel the differences between the caliber of the weapons as the adaptive triggers are planned to have different resistance per weapon.

We are also making sure to utilize the full capabilities of 3D audio to immerse the player in the setting. It will also provide an edge in hunting your prey, helping to pinpoint where the screams, gunshots, and enemies are coming from.

Finally, we have to mention that the Old Town of Prague in Bloodhunt is very detailed and features a lot of unique textures and 3D models. The high-speed SSD in the PS5 makes it possible for us to fulfill our vision of a beautiful city.
