The fourth faction in Paradox Interactive’s upcoming vampire RPG Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been revealed to be the academic type. The Newcomers, as they’re called, prowl the University District hunting ground, and are Seattle’s most mysterious faction.
This faction was started by a group of Tremere – blood-magic obsessed warlocks – and has attracted curious scholars, dreamers, runaways and more. Led by the charismatic “Professor” Viktor Goga, The Newcomers are at odds with The Baron, who views them as his most dangerous competition. And rightfully so: The Newcomers offer any vampire who would join them safe access to blood in one of the city’s richest hunting grounds, a spot in a rapidly progressing organization – and a promise of something greater.
The final faction for Bloodlines 2 will be revealed in the coming weeks. Bloodlines 2 sinks its fangs into gamers in 2020.
