Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong delayed beyond February 2022

We are so close to ending 2021, but not before another game gets a delay, and this time it’s Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong.

Planned for February 2022, the game will now be released on 19th May 2022.

February of next year is an incredibly stacked month with titles such as Horizon Forbidden West, Dying Light 2, Sifu and Elden Ring all vying for players’ money.

It may seem like delaying the game out of this busy month is the cause for the change, but that isn’t the case as the pandemic has once again messed things up.

“This wasn’t a decision we took lightly, but one necessary to ensure the highest possible quality while retaining a healthy work-life balance for our team. Granted, the pandemic also threw a couple of wrenches into our planning, but this delay will allow us to apply some additional polish and give us some extra time for QA,” an announcement reads.

“We’re a small but very passionate team, eager to create an immersive experience that rivals the sort of personal storytelling you’d experience from a great tabletop session. One that leaves you with questions long after the credits have stopped rolling (but a reason to go back and see how things could have been different).”

As always a delay is not the best news for those anticipating the game but if it’s to make it better then it’s difficult to argue, especially with so many other projects affected by the pandemic over the past couple of years.

“With Swansong, we are taking the narrative-RPG formula so core to our studio DNA and scaling up as we adapt the systems from the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop into a video game experience. The political intrigue and supernatural mystery baked into the setting are a perfect fit for the story we want to tell,” the announcement adds.

When Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong launches in May 2022 it will be available on Nintendo Switch, PC (Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
