Paradox details Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 PC system requirements, releases Toreador clan trailer

Just ahead of the release of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 on October 21, 2025, publisher Paradox Interactive and developer The Chinese Room released the system requirements for the game's PC version, indicating what hardware players might need to have to achieve the best balance between performance and visual quality. In addition, the sixth and final playable clan trailer was released, detailing the Toreador vampire clan option for Phyre.

On the whole, the system requirements and performance targets for Bloodlines 2 encompass a fairly wide range of hardware, with the minimum spec demanding lower-end graphics cards like the Nvidia GeForce 1060. Players targeting higher native resolutions will need mid-range cards like the RTX 3070 and Radeon RX 7700 XT. The upper end of performance targts incorporate the use of upscaling and frame generation technology available in newer cards like the RTX 40- and 50-series cards. 

Paradox also released a trailer for the Toreador vampire clan, the last of the six available clan choices for players to pick from. Like the Lasombra, the Toreador clan option was originally excluded from the base game release, but after feedback, Paradox opted to make all clans playable to all buyers of the game.

Among the clans of the Camarilla, Toreador are the embodiment of vampiric seduction, with a reputation as a clan of artists, hedonists, and degenerates. Toreador prize aesthetics and are seen by other vampires as pretentious and superficial. They have, however, mastered the unnatural charisma that comes with undeath.

A Toreador Phyre can call on various vampiric disciplines related to the clan's magnetism, as well as the ability to move swiftly and gracefully. They can use an empowered kiss to hypotize an enemy into attacking their allies, as well as beckon a target to their location.

• "Blurred Momentum": Temporarily boost your reflexes, allowing you to evade damage.

Toreador players will also get to know the clan's Primogen in Seattle, and proprietor of the Atrium nightclub, Ysabella Moore, as well as the clan trainer, Patience Boswell.
