I’ve never seen anyone who didn’t like Troika’s third and final game, Bloodlines, and I doubt I ever will. Still played and talked about to this day, there has always been a desire to mod and improve upon it. One of those improvements, a full-fledged remake of the game called “Project Vaulderie”, was meant to move the game to the Unity engine as well as add new content and visuals.

I said “meant to” because a cease and desist letter by current copyright holder CCP has led to them canning the project entirely.

More can be read about this on the project’s official website:

We’re very sad to report that we received a Cease & Desist e-mail from CCP Games, asking us to cease game development, remove any materials that might contain Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, names, locations or related elements from the sites we control, and cease any further use of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines property, and in a disappointment shared among our team we are complying with that request. All of this invalidates our effort and the meaning of the entire project: as a remake of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines cannot be a remake without its original contents.

Hopefully this means someone out there at CCP is planning to make their own V:TM game, though with World of Darkness having been cancelled this year, that’s not very likely.
