Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodhunt

Sharkmob is thrilled to announce an exciting Summer Update for its popular battle royale title, Bloodhunt, which will include an all new 8v8 Team Deathmatch mode (launching in beta), an epic new aggressively priced Summer Pass with 100+ items as well as new map locations, melee weapons plus significant improvements and bug fixes. 

The game, set in the Vampire: The Masquerade universe, has now registered over 6 million player accounts to date and the Summer Update will go live on 14th July 2022 at 01.00 AM PT / 09.00 BST / 10.00 CEST.

"As a team, we have decided to move away from the traditional seasons model within Battle Royale games, and instead we will be focussing on giving players smaller, more regular updates,” said David Sirland, Live Producer of Bloodhunt. “We feel that sustaining seasons in the typical way is not what works for our relatively small team so we want to challenge the norm by releasing updates much faster than previously planned but in smaller chunks."

“Our game can be quite challenging when playing solo or even in duos so we are particularly excited to be able to introduce the Team DeathMatch mode to give players a thrilling new experience with more playtime per person than ever before in the battlegrounds of Prague. We will continue to focus on working hard to enhance the current game experience as much as possible, listening to player feedback and keeping our community updated with the roadmap of future content.”
