Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 gets its dev team replaced, no longer releasing in 2021

Honestly if anything I wonder what goes on at Paradox rather than Hardsuit.
Given that, from Historical reference (no pun intended), Paradox seems to be incredibly hard to work with given how, apart from Colossal Order, the vast majority of outside-studios that have partnered with them in the past end up cutting-ties with them after only one or two games instead of having a long-term relationship.

It's kind of insane how long this game has been available for pre-order even though it was clear how different the actual development status is. There's even pre-order bonuses on the Steam page, like wtf
Edit: and this chart
Probably coming at the same time as the dead island 2 beta
I guess I should've seen it coming, but I'm still incredibly disappointed to watch all of this unravel.
I honestly have trouble thinking of a case where stuff like this happened and it resulted in a great game.
This says they have a collab with a new studio to finish the game. Seems weird to me that they would not name them
We just got the official PR as well, nested within a year-end report. Worded pretty much the same:
Year-end Report 2020 - Paradox Interactive
Paradox Interactive is a world leading PC games publisher known for games such as Cities: Skylines, Europa Universalis and Crusader Kings.www.paradoxinteractive.com
Nah it's going to probably come out, Paradox ain't sinking all that cost. Now will it be good? EhhhhIt's dead, Jim.
I preordered the Blood Moon edition less than 15 minutes after the game was announced, lol.
I'm mainly just desperate to find out the juicy gossip about what the fuck is going on behind the scenes.

I thought Hardsuit was doing everything right (except needing multiple delays). Is there more info on their work in the game? Why is it good a different team will be in charge now?
Can the cries of desperation of dozens of Vampire fans summon the press sneak fuck?
It was already Bloodlines in name only the second they fired Brian Mitsoda, Hardsuit has no particular credibility on this. He was the only reason this announcement had any cache at all. This latest mess is just another disaster along the way.
Damn, this is surprising. Even more surprising that they didn't immediately name who the new developer is leading the project. Definitely a worrying sign overall.
Rumour has it Microsoft is approaching Paradox for a partnership and possible sale. Boyarsky and Cain are at Obsidian and Jason Anderson at InXile. Maybe with Microsoft's blessing they can reform Troika and try again.
Just trying to find a silver lining. Pretty shit news. This game is cursed. Sumo will probably step in, they seem to be the go to fixers (but even they couldn't crack Dead Island 2).

Didn't they literally hire a narrative director (can't remember the exact position, but it was a management role on the project) a few months back? I thought I read a thread on here
edit: yes. This was the news posted on the 28th Oct 2020
Hardsuit Labs has appointed a new lead narrative designer, more than two months after Brain Mitsoda was fired from the same role
Samantha Wallschlaeger announced on Monday that she has been hired as lead narrative designer at Hardsuit Labs. She previously held writing and narrative design positions at Monolith Productions, ArenaNet, and Bioware.

Damn. They had a stellar start, but every week something new goes wrong (writers/devs leave, or the entire dev team getting replaced lol).
Yeah like, I thought they'd do something to make the other devs look good, not just , "okay they're gone, bye"
Just release it in its current state. Modders will finish it and it will be a cult classic in 5 years. Worked for the first game.
Hadn't had high expectations from the beginning. Gameplay looked so rough and janky, then they fired the lead writer if I'm not mistaken.
Well, I'd rather play Bloodlines 1 a fifth time than waiting on this one.

I had not seen a single bit of gameplay that looked good. This is for the best, whatever that means for the game.
