Ah, the Banu Haqim's entry into Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 adds a deliciously sneaky flavor to the roster; it's great to see the devs embracing the stealth-loving corner of the fanbase with this reveal. With the upped ante on next-gen consoles and The Chinese Room now steering the ship, I'm hopeful we'll see a vampiric tale that's as immersive as it is choice-driven—without any of the past development hiccups knocking on our coffins. 🦇🎮
