The next clan for Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 is casting a few more spells to boil our blood in Bloodlines 2
Things are getting a little more magical out here for Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2, as we have the next clan to be highlighted in the mix of the game. Here we have the Tremere on the way to the game as one of the other clans that Phyre can hail from when we load the game up. One of many, as The Chinese Room seems to be aiming to have as many as possible as part of the core experience now. We will see about that. For now, we will open our Third Eye and have a look at the clan of warlocks in Bloodlines 2, so we will know if it will be the one for us on October 21st when the game lands on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. That is still the release date, thankfully.
Those not familiar with Vampire: The Masquerade, the Tremere are vampires who have mastered the ability to use the blood in a mix of their sorcery to bring about all manner of horrible miracles. The same is the case in Bloodlines 2, as they will have the usual Dominate that we saw before with the Ventrue, but also the Blood Sorcery and a “Corrosive Touch” into the mix with their disciplines. The latter being a weird addition, but I am guessing they needed something to flesh out the clan more in the world. Especially as the Blood Sorcery in Bloodlines 2 does seem to jump all over the place and do things that it would not do in the tabletop setting. Like causing enemies to swell with blood and then pop like a blister, or have the ability to constantly teleport back to a location they just marked. It works for a video game, so those who are hard up for the lore might be upset, but they will need to calm down and just enjoy what we are getting. Here is a look at the clan in action throughout the city.
Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 — Clan: Tremere
Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 will be released on October 21, 2025.
The action-RPG video game is the sequel to the cult classic Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines. Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 lets players step into its story through two distinct, alternating perspectives: Elder vampire Phyre and Malkavian detective Fabien.
Today, The Chinese Room brings you a new glimpse into the Clan of Warlocks. Meet the Tremere characters of Seattle and see Phyre’s magic in action.
Tremere starts with “Dominate” and “Blood Sorcery” as clan affinities, and “Corrosive Touch” as the passive ability. Then, as the game progresses, you’ll be able to unlock the following Tremere disciplines:
- Blood Curse: Curses the opponent to swell up and explode after receiving damage.
- Cauldron Of Blood: Boil a person’s blood. Their screams will draw others close.
- Recall: Mark your current position. Use again to return to that position.
- Blood Salvo: Conjure a set of blood daggers that can be thrown at enemies.
- Blood Of Potency — Clan Perk: A chance when feeding that the last used ability receives twice as much blood, increasing the rate at which you can perform abilities.
Do the Tremere hit for you in the mix of the gameplay here? Is it going to be a little odd to have their magic shifted a bit just for Bloodlines 2? Will there be other “spells” that can be performed in the mix, or will we be locked down to these few that we see here? How long until the rest are modded into the game, as we saw in the original Bloodlines over time? Drain all of those thoughts into the comment section and then keep on discussing until the game is fully launched out there. There are still a few more playable clans on the way to us, and maybe more once they figure things out for Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2. So, please keep on sinking your fangs into the site to see it all as we can flow it out to you. Maybe we will have the full run of the clans before too long, too.
