Confrontations are dialogue-focused forms of combat where players must choose the right dialogue options to win arguments and, in turn, obtain vital information. Being savvy and keeping a low profile is key, but relying on your vampiric powers too much raises your bloodlust. That causes your bestial side to take over, which can affect your actions in unpredictable ways. Occasionally feeding on people reduces this hunger; just be sure to do it away from prying eyes. Swansong features multiple endings based on your choices, which will determine the fate of Boston’s vampire community as well as the individual characters.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong launches May 19 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Swansong isn’t the only Vampire: The Masquerade game in the works. The battle royale game Bloodhunt is set to exit Steam Early Access later this year. Bloodlines 2, the sequel to the 2004 cult-favorite, is further away since its development has largely been restarted.
