Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 adds Ventrue as fourth playable clan

Publisher Paradox Interactive and developer The Chinese Room have revealed Venture as the fourth playable clan in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2.

In Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, the player takes on the role of protagonist Phyre, an Elder Kindred Embraced during the early 17th century, and can chose from four playable clans: Banu Haqium, Brujah, Tremere, and Ventrue.

Here is an overview of Ventrue, via Paradox Interactive:

The Clan of Kings, Blue Bloods, Tyrants, Warlords, Patricians, and Borgias

Ventrue vampires usually choose their progeny from mortals familiar with power, wealth and influence. Seeing themselves as the rightful leaders of vampire society, Kindred of clan Ventrue take up the mantle of leadership wherever possible, often in the form of high positions in Camarilla Courts.

Playing as a Ventrue

Ventrue are blue blooded tyrants who incite obedience in both their allies and their foes. Using the Disciplines of Presence and Dominate, they can mesmerize as well as awe their prey. Feeding builds up Fortitude, allowing the Ventrue to soak up more damage in case any enemy is powerful enough to resist their force of will.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG in fall 2024.
