Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2’s Brujah Clan Revealed

Paradox Interactive has unveiled the first of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2’’s clans: the Brujah.

As revealed over at PC Gamer, the Brujah were once a clan of warrior scholars, but in the modern age of The Masquerade timeline they’re now anarchic punks and troublemakers who reject the vampire establishment. They run undead fight clubs and have no ties to the vampire political factions in Bloodlines 2.

The Brujah are one of five vampire clans that you can join in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. You start the game as a Thinblood with a small variety of powers - including the ability to turn into a cloud of mist and summon bats - but you can expand your skill set by joining a clan.

The Future of Iron Man in the MCU

Warning: Full spoilers follow for Avengers: Endgame. If you don’t want to know what happens in the movie, activate your nano-tech armor now and take off!

So that’s it: Tony Stark is dead. And that means Iron Man is also dead… and yet, there are plenty of characters who could conceivably take up the Iron Man-tle in future MCU movies. That includes players from the comics as well as the films who have the potential to take over for Tony in the movies.

Because the bottom line is the Marvel Cinematic Universe was founded on Robert Downey, Jr.’s Iron Man, and it’s going to be weird to not have a hero who can step in for him, if not replace him. Let’s look at our options…

How Overwatch’s Story Is Built Like the MCU

In March 2016, months before Overwatch was launched, Blizzard released the Recall cinematic. It tells the story of scientist gorilla Winston who, realising that the world could use a few more heroes, issues a call to his old teammates in hope of re-assembling the Overwatch team. Three years later, we’ve still not seen the result of that message.

This refusal to push the story forward is a source of frustration for many of Overwatch’s most dedicated fans. But it’s a deliberate move from Blizzard; the team knows exactly where it’s headed - there is a present day story - but steps need to be taken before we get there. If this were the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’re very much in phase one; Overwatch’s version of first Avengers movie is coming, but we need to establish what came first before we can get to that iconic team-up scene.
