Paradox Interactive CEO: ‘Bloodlines 2’ Still in Development, More Info “When We Are Ready”
Long-suffering fans of Paradox’s Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 continue to wait for any indication of the game getting close to some sort of release. Fortunately, Fredrik Wester, CEO of publisher Paradox Interactive, reassures fans that everything’s fine in terms of the development of Bloodlines 2.
Wester recently responded to a fan’s question on Twitter asking the developer if the game is cancelled, stating that development is still active on Bloodlines 2. Wester added that Paradox will let fans know more “when we are ready”.
However, as with everything with Bloodlines 2‘s development, there’s unfortunately the lack of new information on the specifics. When asked by a fan if the game will make an appearance at this year’s PDXCon, which is Paradox’s annual showcase of its games, Wester responded that Bloodlines 2 will be absent from the event.
For those who need a recap, Bloodlines 2 was announced back in 2019, but after one delay after another, it would eventually be revealed that original developer Hardsuit Labs was no longer working on the project. Paradox went on to say that a new developer was taking over Bloodlines 2‘s development, but would decline to reveal just who that developer was, in order that they could “fully focus on the game development” without being bogged down by fans’ questions.
Bloodlines 2 is in development and we will let you know more when we are ready.

After the success of Jurassic World Evolution and its sequel, you knew that Frontier Developments would be itching to return to the well again. That appears to be the case, as the developer/publisher has announced that they’ve signed a deal with Universal for a third entry.
According to the press release, the third game in the series is scheduled for release between June 1, 2025 and May 31, 2026, with the game expected to be officially announced in the coming months. If you’re wondering about the date range, that would be because Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment are currently developing a new Jurassic World film that’s slated for release on July 2, 2025.
Jurassic World Evolution remains Frontier’s best-selling game to date since its release almost six years ago.
“We are delighted to reveal that we are developing a third Jurassic World game to extend our collaborative relationship with Universal Products & Experiences for our best-selling game franchise,” states Frontier Development Chief Executive Officer Jonny Watts. “Our Jurassic World Evolution game franchise has showcased great creative and technical expertise in CMS games and the strength of our select, develop, launch, and nurture strategy in the genre. I very much look forward to providing more information on our exciting plans for the franchise in the future.”
You can grab the first two entries in the series on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
