Bloodhunt fans discover secret Valentine's Day message, PC playtest coming next month

Paradigm by Sharkmob

We think anybody can agree that the zombie game had its renaissance period; it's high time we embrace, pun intended, the vampire. Programmer Sharkmob posted a cheeky Valentine's Day video to the official Bloodhunt Twitter account this morning announcing that a PC playtest for the game is coming as before long every bit next month.

Fan account @BloodhuntNews discovered a cloak-and-dagger bulletin to all Kindred who are anxiously awaiting the chance to cruise the city of Prague once once again. The PC playtest is announced at the stop of the video, merely the bulletin is quite hard to spot. "Someone must take tipped you off. We will investigate," Sharkmob jokingly confirmed.

Bloodhunt is an online boxing royale game licensed nether Paradox Interactive, a Swedish publisher who has endemic the tabletop role-playing game series IP World of Darkness since purchasing White Wolf Publishing in 2022. Conceptually, Vampire: The Masquerade bringing us an all-out gainsay game is a bit chaotic, simply it ultimately worked considering of Sharkmob, a dedicated team whose 18-carat love for Vampire lore is evident.

The contempo World of Darkness revival has been interesting to witness, but the procedure has not been altogether hiccup-free. The sequel to the 2004 part-playing game Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines has been trapped in game development limbo after the original developer, Hardsuit Labs, was spontaneously dropped from the project last February. Public early on access for Bloodhunt came to an end in November, but no i expected an indefinite server shutdown.

"Based on primal learnings from this early season, we have decided to take the time needed to address the valuable feedback nosotros have received and postpone the release until early 2022. During this period the public servers will be taken offline."

Sharkmob is a new triple-A studio based in Malmo, Sweden and Bloodhunt is their kickoff game along with "two proprietary, unannounced titles" according to their official website. Bloodhunt is slated for a Jump 2022 release on both PC and PlayStation five.
