Bloodhunt Announces Summer Update & New Team Deathmatch Mode

Sharkmob has confirmed the upcoming release date for Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodhunt’s summer update, as well as the new features and modes included with it.

The highly anticipated summer update, which has now been confirmed for release on Thursday, July 14th, will feature a brand new Team Deathmatch Mode. Alongside the new mode, players can also expect to find new map locations, weapons, and some major bug fixes.

Although one of the most major pieces of content included in Bloodhunt’s summer update is the new 8v8 Team Deathmatch Mode, Sharkmob has also stated that they have decided to “move away from the traditional seasons model” with the game’s upcoming update.

Instead, players can now expect more regular, smaller updates to the game going forward. According to David Sirland, the Live Producer for Bloodhunt, the team feels as though sustaining seasons in a typical way is not what works for their smaller team. Instead, Bloodhunt will now be receiving updates much faster than previously planned, but in smaller chunks.

Fans can find an overview of all the new content coming in this month’s summer update below:

• New Game Mode – Team DeathMatch (Beta) coming 14th July 2022. Two teams of 8v8 will battle each other with unlimited respawns and the first team to reach the score limit wins. This new game mode will have five unique areas in Prague as battle grounds including; Slaughterhouse, Disco, Hotel, Construction and Harbor.
• Special Summer Pass Offer – 100+ new items for 600 Tokens (around 5,99 USD)
• New Map Locations – Ventrue train added to the Train Station location and Rudolfinum got the attic opened up with 3 new roof entrances and some other smaller tweaks to the interior layout.
