Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Patch Notes and Roadmap of Updates - Patch 1.0.2

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 isn’t exactly what fans wanted, but it’s not a complete misfire and plenty of players are finding enjoyment in this new first-person action-adventure RPG. If you want to keep track of every patch and update coming to the game, here’s the rundown on the latest.

After a shaky launch on current-gen consoles and PC, developer The Chinese Room and publisher Paradox Interactive are now trying to get Bloodlines 2 in better shape and adjust as much of the vision as possible to player feedback. Don’t expect massive reworks following a troubled development which compromised the original iteration of the sequel, but hold out hope for some improvements, especially when it comes to technical issues.
