Did you hear? Singlesplayer games are undead, and the newest nail within the coffin is one more Vampire: The Masquerade game. The third introduced in as many months, Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries Of New York is coming to us from small studio Draw Distance, beforehand iFun4All, builders of Serial Cleaner and the latest Ritual: Crown Of Horns. Beyond a small teaser trailer, and plans of a fourth-quarter launch, we don’t know a lot concerning the game aside from it being a solo “narrative experience” primarily based on fifth version Vampire. Below, the teaser; wealthy with logos, gentle on game.
Not to be confused with Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 (by Hardsuit Labs & Paradox) or the still-unsubtitled Vampire: The Masquerade from Big Bad Wolf, Coteries Of New York shares the license, however sounds prefer it’s doing its personal factor. Draw Distance describe it as an “interactive story meets choices-that-matter; dark, atmospheric, emotional narration meets Telltale-like way of creating morally challenging dilemmas”. A choose-your-own-adventure with stat checks? It’s virtually spectacular how a lot they’ve let on with out displaying or telling us the way it’ll work.
In Vampire parlance, a Coterie is a your customary adventuring social gathering, however for modern-day vampires. The game will inform the story of the Camarilla (the ‘lawful’ vampire clans banner) feuding with the Anarchs (precisely what it feels like – unbiased, free-willed clans), and the participant will decide from considered one of three Camarilla characters to play as. A selection that’ll alter your dialogue choices, each by way of persona and what supernatural powers you have got. Draw Distance are eager to stress that the game is constructed to be replayed, they usually’ll be increasing it with new standalone tales post-release.
It seems to be like World Of Darkness followers are going to be effectively served for the following 12 months or two. You can see a bit extra data on Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York’s Steam page here.
