In April 2022, developer and publisher Sharkmob officially launched Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt, a battle royale set in White Wolf Publishing’s World of Darkness. Players took control of vampires in Prague as they joined rival sects and battled each other with their supernatural abilities and conventional weapons. However, new updates for the game ceased in 2023, and now Bloodhunt’s servers are going offline in 2026.
Sharkmob announced the news on its site that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt will have its final death on April 28, 2026. Once the game’s servers go offline, the PC and PlayStation 5 versions of this title will no longer be playable.
In a message addressed to the Bloodhunt community, Sharkmob shared its gratitude for the game’s four-year run.
“When we first opened the streets of Prague to you, we could only hope that the nights you spent there would create the memories they did,” reads the statement. “From the battles fought on the rooftops to the friendships made in the chaos, Bloodhunt has lived through you in countless unforgettable ways. During these past four years, we have been thrilled to see your passion and dedication to Bloodhunt … However, despite you, our amazing community, the current player population has reached a level where keeping the servers running is no longer sustainable. This has led us to make the difficult decision to take Bloodhunt offline.”
Token purchases have already been disabled, but the in-game store will remain open so players can use the tokens they already have before the game goes offline.
Earlier this month, the action-RPG Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 hit PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. There was a 21-year gap between this game and its predecessor, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.
