Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York revealed, coming Q4 2019

It’s time for another instalment of “game series’ you would never see on a Nintendo console a decade ago”, and today its Vampire: The Masquerade.

No, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 isn’t coming to the Switch instead there’s an entirely new game called Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York.

It’s an entirely single player story from the creators of Serial Cleaner who have been working with Paradox, the developers behind the main game’s blessing.

The trailer doesn’t reveal much, but here’s how the developers say the game will work;

You act as a newly-fledged vampire in New York. You have to learn what it means to be one of the Kindred in a huge, vibrant, contemporary metropolis. On your way you’ll meet different NPCs – other vampires, thin-bloods, ghouls, humans… and more. You will perform tasks that will put test your humanity and take part in a complex and often brutal struggle for power between the Camarilla and the Anarchs.

You’ll build your Coterie and learn your undead companions’ deepest secrets… or see them abandon you. You’ll feast on the living and will ask yourself about the very nature of humanity and will feel the constant lure of the Beast inside you. You will make choices for the character, including which storylines to pursue and how to approach the different situations presented. You will take part in a narrative experience with branching dialogue choices, memorable characters – all among iconic locales of the Big Apple. You’ll be able to use Disciplines to charm, sneak, intimidate or kill and your choices will determine your path.

If that made any sense to you, the game is out in Q4 2019.
