Seattle's supernatural hunting ground is now available to players, and it feels new and familiar in all the right ways. I want to thank the incredible team at The Chinese Room for their vision and dedication to shaping this modern horror world. They have built a title that is atmospheric, intelligent, and true to the dark core of Vampire: The Masquerade."

This project marks a defining moment as we bring our signature narrative approach to a world known for its complexity and moral tension. The unlikely duo of Faure and Fabian embody that tension, courting trouble every step of the way as they unravel the city's darkest mysteries."
