Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodhunt Early Access Founders Season Coming to an End

Sharkmob is announcing that Bloodhunt’s Public Early Access: Founder’s Season is coming to an end, and we’d like to thank everyone who has participated in this first phase of development. Over the course of Early Access we’ve seen a tremendous level of support from our ever-growing community with over 2 Million accounts created and 26 512 898 kills clocked up!

Feedback received from players over the course of Early Access has helped Sharkmob immensely in understanding where the game shines but also where they want to apply even greater focus to meet the high standards that both they as developers and the players expect.

The plan was to launch the game this year for both PC and PS5 as they moved out of the Early Access: Founder’s Season. Based on key learnings from this early season, they have decided to take the time needed to address the valuable feedback they have received and postpone the release until early 2022. During this period the public servers will be taken offline.

Bloodhunt Founder’s Season is coming to an end and public servers will close on Monday 22nd of November at 10:00 CET.

What does this mean for the community?

Servers:

• From Monday, November 22nd, at 10:00 CET, servers will be taken offline to ensure the development team's full focus on the implementation of feedback collected during the Early Access: Founder’s Season.
• All players who have been a part of the Founder’s Season as well as last minute newcomers who join before the season ends will be able to participate in exclusive, invite only tests leading up to release.
