Losing progress during a late-night session in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is a true horror story, but Patch 1.0.4 is here to fix the most frustrating culprit. The newly released update addresses the critical bug that failed to save progress when exiting to the main menu or quitting the game. Your game will now properly autosave upon exit, securing your journey through Seattle's vampiric underground. Alongside this crucial fix, developer The Chinese Room has also revealed a detailed roadmap for future content.
This save bug has been a significant point of frustration since the game's launch on October 21, and seeing it stamped out is a massive quality-of-life improvement. It allows players to focus on the intricate politics and mysteries of the Mass Embrace without worrying that a simple exit will cost them an hour of gameplay.
Seattle's Future Unveiled
The post-launch roadmap gives us a clear look at what's coming to the World of Darkness. The next update, Patch 1.0.5, is slated for Q4 2025 and will introduce some highly requested features:
- FOV Slider: A must-have for many PC players to customize their first-person perspective.
- Motion Blur Toggle: More control over visual preferences.
- Improved Progress Saving: Further enhancements to the save system to increase stability.
Following that, a Christmas-themed Winter Update will add a Custom Difficulty mode, which unlocks after you complete the main story. This is a fantastic addition for replayability, letting veteran Kindred tailor the challenge for subsequent playthroughs as a different clan. The update will also include new cosmetic items.
When are the new story packs coming?
The roadmap extends well into 2026 with the confirmation of two story packs. These expansions promise to deepen the central narrative of your character's unplanned entry into vampire society. We can expect 'Loose Cannon' to arrive in Q2 2026, followed by 'The Flower & The Flame' in Q3 2026. These DLCs suggest our role as the star witness in the inquest is just the beginning of a much larger conspiracy.
With a critical bug squashed and a clear plan for the future, The Chinese Room is showing a strong commitment to supporting Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 post-launch. For players navigating the deadly factions of Seattle, the night just got a little more stable and a lot more interesting.
