We've waited this long, we can wait longer.

Colour me flabbergasted f this gets out and doesn't totally suck ass in regards to study and atmosphere. It's so sad how this series ended up in development hell.

William SRD on YT does a lot of masquerade universe games reviews.

This one is titled: The Werewolf Game That's Scared of Itself | Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood

The sad reality is that the masquerade universe is insanely deep, incredibly rich, and almost never gets a game that does it justice. Redemption and Bloodlines were by far the best games in-universe...and even they don't really do the material justice.

Wild, this was at one time going to come out the same year as Cyberpunk, or am I recalling things wrong?

If a game hasn't been fully bugtested, I wouldn't consider it "done..."

Passed around multiple studios and publishers and restarted development more times than can be counted. This is going to be a Duke Nukem Forever scenario at worst and a Cyberpunk "spend three years in unlabeled early access before being worth the money" at best

I avoided any spoilers like the plague. I just hope it will be like the first game and won’t mutate into a generic shooter.

Don't hold your breath. Any hope of getting the true sequel died with the firing of Brian Mitsoda I think. Doesn't even look like Rik Schaffer is involved in the project anymore either.

So far I'd say The Chinese Room has got a decent rep so... 🤞

Outlook bad.

It might turn out to be a good game even, but I highly doubt it lives up to the first game in any way.

Que the reviews, "This game sucks!"
