Today during the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase, Fast Travel Games revealed Vampire: The Masquerade – Justice, a virtual reality adventure RPG set in the World of Darkness story universe. Prowl the streets of a dark and blood-soaked Venice to uncover the conspiracy behind your sire’s murder when the game launches for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, and PlayStation® VR2 late in 2023. Wishlist the game today on the Meta Quest Store and PlayStation Store.

Get a first look at Vampire: The Masquerade – Justice in the reveal trailer:

In this first-person single-player adventure RPG, you play as Justice, a vampire of the Banu Haqim clan. After your sire is mysteriously murdered and a relic is stolen, you travel to Venice, Italy, home of the death-worshiping 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.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Justice is the second VR title set in the World of Darkness, the shared story universe containing Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Hunter: The Reckoning, and more.

Telltale, the leading narrative game development studio and publisher, today revealed the story trailer for The Expanse: A Telltale series to celebrate pre-orders being available to players.

Today also sees the release episode one gameplay footage, impressions, and interviews from both press and creators, who attended a special hands-on event in Los Angeles in mid-May. There they spoke to team members from both Deck Nine Games and Telltale, along with Cara Gee (Camina Drummer), got extensive hands-on with Episode 1, and immersed themselves in The Expanse universe like never before.

“It’s been a long journey resurrecting such a beloved brand, but we are finally here and can’t wait to share our first new game,” said Jamie Ottilie, Telltale CEO. “We couldn’t be more proud of the work from the teams at Deck Nine and Telltale. We are thrilled to be back with new stories to tell!”

Telltale recently announced that Episode 1 of The Expanse: A Telltale Series would be launching on July 27 2023 on Epic Games Store, PlayStation & Xbox. In order to create conversations and speculation within the community, the following four episodes will be releasing every two weeks. This also allows players an opportunity to explore other choices in-between releases.

“With The Expanse: A Telltale Series, we wanted this to feel like a playable episode of the show with our favorite character Camina Drummer,” said Stephan Frost, the project’s game director. “Scavenging derelict ships, managing relationships with a tough crew, a mutiny, avoiding cutthroat space pirates, and a new zero g exploration gameplay has us very excited for players to get their hands on the game.”

Pre-orders for both the Standard ($39.99) and Deluxe Editions ($44.99) are going live today on PlayStation, Xbox & Epic Games Store. Players who pre-order will receive 24-hour early access on every episode*, while players who purchase the Deluxe edition will also receive DLC (content to be announced at a later date).

The first new IP announced by Telltale since the company re-formed in 2019, The Expanse: A Telltale Series is set prior to the events of Alcon Television Group’s critically acclaimed and award-winning television series which streams on Amazon Prime Video. Players take on the role of Camina Drummer (played by actress Cara Gee in both the game and TV series), the XO of a scavenger crew on the hunt for a mysterious treasure on the edges of The Belt. As Drummer, players must deal with a mix of powerful personalities, square off against a bloody mutiny, explore locations beyond The Belt and, most of all, make tough decisions that will decide the fate of The Artemis crew. Scour shipwrecks, use mag boots to walk on walls and ceilings, and utilize Zero-G thrusters to float through sections of ships and the open expanse of space in the largest and most immersive exploration of any Telltale game to date.
