>Alongside news of Colossal Order's next title, Paradox is promising a new game reveal from Shadowrun and Battletech developer Harebrained Schemes, plus word on the new project from Paradox Tectonic and former The Sims boss Rod Humble.
>As for its expansion news, Paradox isn't being quite so specific, but it has confirmed new reveals relating to Crusader Kings 3 and Europa Universalis 4, plus "several announcements" from its indie-focused publishing label Paradox Arc.

>All the above will be revealed during the Paradox Announcement Show 2023, which airs next Monday, 6th March, at 5pm in the UK/9am PT on YouTube and Twitch. It's being presented in collaboration with Xbox, suggesting there might be a bit of Game Pass/console news too.
>One notable absence from Paradox's announcement line-up is, of course, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, which has been off the radar ever since original developer Hardsuit Labs was removed from the project in 2021. Work continues in the hands of a "very reputable and talented" developer, but it may still be too soon for a re-reveal. Last year, Paradox said it didn't expect an updated release date for "quite some time"
What are we expecting?
>Paradox
Something that will be on the level of completeness of a pre-alpha game 6 years and 1000$ of DLC after its release.
>VtmB: 2
An uninspired, soulless, dogshit game coattailing on the legendary prequel's success
>Westoid game after 2010
Cancerous, woke shit, graphics that have the fidelity of a PS4 game, dogshit artstyle, muh raytracing, muh depth of field, muh motion blur, claymation-tier animations, and carefully unoptimized to require a PC more expensive than a car to run.
game after 2010

You will never be an animated woman.
No new gsg, new dlc for ck3 and a date for the next eu4 dlc. HoI4 dlc is too far out and the mini patches recently have been popular.
The cities guys will maybe have a sequel or something uninteresting.
No Victoria 3 DLC?
Woke shit
I can't wait for a Sims replacement. 4 is such a pile of shit and its beyond clear thats the direction they are going with 5.
>Sims game
>but with Paradox DLC
Anything that hurts EA is ok with me
They are actual evil and have killed more franchises I loved than any other company. Frick them. At worst it takes some sales, at best we get something better. Still hoping on Paralives too.
Paralives is making okay progress.
You can't replace The Sims. C:S was a success because the grognards that play city sims were content to ditch EA, but that's not the case for The Sims. Sims is catered towards young adult femoids who want to RP, they're not going to abandon the Sims IP and they're not going to settle for a game with subpar presentation. I hope Colossal Order knows better than to make a Sims rip-off because it'll be a big fat failure if they do.
Ridiculous that the genre didn't blow up when the colony manager type games did, they are very similar.
Dwarf Fortress for gamer girls.
Desperation
If Pozzbrained Schemes isn't doing more Shadowrun, they can frick off.
Tired to play Shadowrun Returns and let me tell you. Its the first time i felt second hand embarassment, or cringe
The dialogues are so fricking disgustingly amateur and juvenile. Woke stuff swirled with edge. Game isnt good either. Very barebones
I can play assetto corsa with max settings with no issues, but if I try to mod cities skylines the framerate drops like a shit. Frick unity and frick colossal order
Cool. Cities Skylines will finally stop updating and mods won't likely break anymore.
If harebrained schemes mad a sequel to necropolis I'd be stoked. Dgaf about any of their other shit.

So they are the studio that took over vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2. All those rumors about The Chinese Room seemed more likely, but I guess this is the confirmation.
Oh nevermind, I did a little digging and found this tweet that confirms that it's NOT VtMB2, because it won't be at this reveal show, it will be at another reveal.

Hair rained DROPPED Bloodlines, to work on something else.
Sumo Digital are works mg on VTMB.
2 minutes in, on the monitor
I wonder how they will do. They have done some decent walking simulators with stories, so the story will probably be decent at least, but from the footage we saw from HSL, it seems like the entire combat systems needed a big overhaul. Hopefully these devs succeed.
>eu4 dlc release date
>next thing from sim city team
>vic3 dlc announcement
>maybe ck3/hoi4 dlc
>vampire vaporcopellium perhaps
and
>shadowrun
do gamers actually care about that dogshit franchise and dev team?
I want stellaris like fantasy game
Can we stop pretending VTMB2 isn't vaporware yet?
They are too deep in for it to be vaporware at this point. They could have just dropped it once HSL got kicked, but instead they went around shopping for other devs, and those devs have now been developing it for more than 2 years. They could have pulled the plug so many times, but decided never to do it.
Chinese Room are hiring to work on it
