Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is the long-anticipated followup to the original cult classic from 2004, and it's coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC in March. Publisher Paradox Interactive has been gradually revealing the unique factions that make up Bloodlines 2's story, with the latest being the elusive Newcomers.

The Newcomers join the Pioneers, the Camarilla, and the Baron as four of five factions to be introduced leading up to the launch of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. We don't know a lot about The Newcomers quite yet - only that they're a mysterious, diverse bunch of unknown origins formed by warlocks and comprised of scholars, dreamers, runaways, and other types. It's been revealed as canon that no one knows who the Newcomers are, where in Europe they came from, or how they gained access to the sought-after University District hunting ground.

Paradox says to keep an eye out for a reveal of the final faction, and we'll be sure to keep you updated once that happens.
