The criticism has worked: the Lasombra and Toreador clans will be included in the base version of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2
The scandal, which recently unfolded around Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, got a positive outcome for gamers.
Recall, the publisher Paradox Interactive said that in addition to the four clans in the game will appear two more vampire communities - Lasombra and Toreador, but to get access to them could only those who bought a special DLC. The situation was aggravated by the fact that the relevant content had to be released on the day of the game's release, so the developers had no opportunity to claim that they had spent several months to add00 the requested content.
Gamers were outraged by this attitude and today the developers announced the change of plans.
Here's What We Know
In the review trailer of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 gamers were informed that all six vampire clans will appear in the base version of the game on the release day.

Consequently, the clans will be removed from the Deluxe edition, and instead, as a bonus, buyers will receive two story add-ons, which will be released in the second and third quarter of 2026.
Thank you to our community for your candid feedback on Bloodlines 2 and its Deluxe Edition. Your criticism made it clear: Lasombra and Toreador should be in the base game. We'd also like to thank The Chinese Room for quickly developing concepts for the post-release story add-ons. We never cease to admire their creativity and skill in crafting compelling stories that will only enrich the main plot of Bloodlines 2.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will be released on 21 October on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series
