Clan Reveal: Brujah

[Feeona]

Good evening Kindred,

Today the countdown begins! We’re revealing the first of four playable clans available at release in Fall 2024 in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 today. Following launch, two additional clans will be made available in DLC: one giving you a new way to experience the main-game and another offering a completely unique Seattle story.

No huge surprise in which clan’s boot is kicking open the door first… Don’t get too comfortable though, there’s always something unexpected in World of Darkness.

Nicknames​

The Learned Clan, Rabble, Punks, Hipsters, Prometheans, Rebels, Philosopher-Kings, Hellenes

Who are the Brujah?​

The learned clan, the clan of radicals, the clan commonly misjudged as punks looking for trouble, the Brujah are guided by passion and dedication to an ideal. And if they have the supernatural strength to back that passion up, who are you to argue? Rebellion unites their blood, whether that rebellion is of the subtle lend me your ears kind or the fists out, fire in the streets sack of Rome kind is down to the individual.

Brujah powers enhance your speed and power

Playing a Brujah in Bloodlines 2​

If you’re a player who leaves the shadows to the cowards, knows the frontline is where the fun is and idealistically rebels against power, Brujah is your clan.

In Bloodlines 2, Clan Brujah will offer a brutal melee playstyle with its abilities (in Vampire: The Masquerade, known as Disciplines) getting you into the fray and rewarding you for staying there. Exemplified in the video, our Brujah uses charge to gain a burst of momentum, grab an enemy, drag them with you and body slam them into a wall. Don’t assume you’re limited to charging just one enemy either. In early 2024, we’ll be back with a complete list of Brujah discipline powers you will be able to use in game.

What’s next?​

Brujah is the first of four clans available at release in Fall 2024 and next week, we’ll be back with the second playable clan. The following week, we’ll be on Thanksgiving hiatus, before coming back to reveal the third playable clan.

Why is this always put so weirdly? Or is it just me thinking it's a weird phrase? "Made available". Does this translate to "you can buy" or "you'll get alongside the release of..."? Or is it like that because that's not decided yet?

... not really expecting an answer, but thought I'd ask, in case it's not deliberate ^^;

We'll talk more about DLC next year.

Also WTH is this??? What do you mean EARN? What is this for? Why would a ventrue ever wear a Brujah outfit? Are stats and abilities attached to it? LOL

Ah well... There are reasons. We'll talk about them next year!

Heck, I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but it is November, so a lot is going on next year.

Sorry to ask, maybe i don't get it, this is just a reveal, right? There is more information to come i hope.
Like, what will it be like to play with a Brujah, how will it react to the world differently from another clam and how the world will react to it?

Yes, we'll reveal more about the Clans sometime after the gameplay showcase in January.
