Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 and Silent Hill f are perhaps two of the most mysterious games out there, with barely any gameplay on show and no concrete release dates in sight. Now, however, it looks like they might be closer than ever, as both appear in the latest filing from the South Korean rating board for gaming. The new post from the GRAC (Game Rating and Administration Committee) places age classifications for the pair alongside the likes of other upcoming games such as Elden Ring Nightreign.
Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 is the latest much-anticipated adaptation of the long-running tabletop series into a PC RPG, and it’s been a long time coming. It’s somewhat of an outlier for typically strategy-focused publisher Paradox, who has switched developers during the game’s creation (it’s now being made by The Chinese Room, formerly known for their Dear Esther mod for Half-Life 2 and for Amnesia sequel A Machine For Pigs). Despite the rocky road to release, Paradox deputy CEO Mattias Lilja told us in 2024 that he’s “starting to feel confident about Bloodlines 2.”
It feels like 2025 has to be the year for this bloodsucking tale, and its classification by the GRAC is a sign that we might finally be nearing the final stages of development. According to the latest listing, Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 has been rated as ‘Not available for minors,’ meaning it’s restricted to users aged 19 and over, typically the strictest level handed out by the GRAC.
Silent Hill f is also given the same ‘Not available for minors’ rating as Bloodlines 2. First announced in 2022 alongside the Silent Hill 2 remake, it was an even more exciting prospect – the eighth mainline entry in the series of horror games, and the first in more than a decade. It’s a divergence from the traditional Silent Hill format, set in rural Japan in the 1960s, and is being developed by NeoBards Entertainment, known for working on ports of several Resident Evil games as well as developing multiplayer games Resident Evil Resistance and Re:Verse.
Of course, nothing is truly set in stone until we see the official Silent Hill f or Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 release date announcements. But for now, this update (thanks to Gematsu) feels like a little glimmer of hope – a spark in the distance signaling that we might not have too much longer to wait. Let’s see.
