Detailed Breakdown of Preorder Bonuses and Game Editions

Preorders for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, developed by The Chinese Room and set for release on October 21, 2025, on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S, come with specific in-game bonus items that vary depending on the edition purchased. The core, universal preorder bonus is a clear nod to the cult-classic original.

The Standard Preorder Bonus

Regardless of the edition—Standard ($59.99), Deluxe ($69.99), or Premium ($89.99)—all players who preorder the game will receive one item:

• Bloodlines Nostalgia Jukebox: An exclusive in-game haven decor item. This jukebox features a curated playlist of iconic tracks composed by Rik Schaffer, the original Bloodlines composer, allowing players to inject a sense of the classic game’s atmosphere into their Seattle apartment.

Edition-Specific Content and DLC

The higher-tier editions of the game offer additional content, including cosmetics and, controversially, access to new playable clans at launch. While these are technically part of the edition content, they are locked behind the initial purchase tier, making them strong incentives for preordering a premium version.

Deluxe Edition Bonus

In addition to the base game and the Bloodlines Nostalgia Jukebox, the Deluxe Edition includes:

• Santa Monica Memories Cosmetic Pack: A day-one cosmetic pack to decorate the main character Phyre’s haven with decor items and neon signs inspired by the original Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.

Premium Edition Bonus

The Premium Edition is the most comprehensive digital offering. It includes all the items from the Deluxe Edition plus a major gameplay feature and an Expansion Pass for future content:

• Shadows & Silk Clan Pack: This content add-on is a significant feature, allowing players to choose to play as the additional Lasombra and Toreador clans for their main character, Phyre, at launch. Each clan features new unique abilities, disciplines, and distinct outfits, drastically altering the core gameplay experience.
• Expansion Pass: Guarantees access to post-launch story packs and content, which are currently slated to be released in Q2 and Q3 of 2026.

Physical Premium Edition and Controversy

The physical version of the Premium Edition also includes physical items, such as a SteelBook® case, a hardcover Artbook, and four Tarot Cards. However, the decision to gate the Lasombra and Toreador clans behind the higher-priced Premium Edition (via the Shadows & Silk Clan Pack) has generated significant discussion within the community, with many fans arguing that core clan choices should not be treated as paid DLC.
