Today during the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase, Fast Travel Games revealed Vampire: The Masquerade – Justice, a VR RPG set in the World of Darkness universe! A first person vampire game? Please inject this directly into my veins. In it you’ll prowl the streets as Justice, a Banu Haqim clan. Your clan is mysteriously wiped out and their relic is chosen. You’ll travel to Venice, Italy to confront the Hecata vampires in search of answers.
Fiercely devoted to upholding their moral code, the Banu Haqim are known for enforcing laws, handling threats, and punishing transgressors. Use your vampiric Disciplines to hunt and remain hidden from society’s gaze while you work to track down the culprits.
“Justice allows players to experience the tantalizing world of Vampire: The Masquerade like never before, thanks to the power of virtual reality. Get ready to get up close and personal with allies, enemies, and of course, prey, all in stunning VR,” said Erik Odeldahl, Creative Director and co-founder of Fast Travel Games. “There is no shortage of mysterious Kindred to meet, exotic locales to traverse, or foes to splatter on the architecture.”
“Fast Travel Games has been a phenomenal partner, creating standout VR titles including Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife and the more recent Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game. It was natural for us to next bring the Vampire: The Masquerade story world to virtual reality,” said Sean Greaney, Vice President of World of Darkness at Paradox Interactive. “In Justice, they’re going to capture the dark themes and intense action of Vampire: The Masquerade that World of Darkness fans and newcomers will surely enjoy.”
Vampire: The Masquerade – Justice takes players through the sinister underside of the City of Love. Featuring a gritty main narrative, several side missions, and unique dialogue options, players can:
- BE A STEALTHY VAMPIRE: Hide in plain sight with Cloak of Shadows, boil the insides of your victims with Cauldron of Blood, or place a Shadow Trap to drag them into Oblivion. Players can also use the crossbow attached to their arms for combat and solving puzzles.
- BECOME THE APEX PREDATOR: Upgrade stealth, combat, or stamina skill trees to become more powerful. Skill tree experience is gained by completing missions or specific objectives.
- EXPLORE A DARK AND MYSTERIOUS VENICE: See what Venice looks like outside the tourist photos. Explore murky alleyways, ensanguined canals, forgotten catacombs, and opulent palazzos in your quest for retribution.
The game looks absolutely gorgeous and could scratch the itch we’ve all had for what seems like forever. The game is headed to Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, and PlayStation VR2 late in 2023, and you can wishlist it today on the Meta Quest Store and PlayStation Store.
