As of today, there’s no official confirmation that Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 will ship with Denuvo on PC. The Steam listing doesn’t carry the usual “Includes 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-Tamper” notice, and neither Paradox nor the official site has announced third-party DRM. That can change close to launch—publishers sometimes add or remove protections in the final weeks—so it’s worth keeping an eye on the store page and patch notes.
Bloodlines 2 is slated for October 21, 2025 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Preorders are live with multiple editions, and previews continue to focus on narrative reactivity, clan-specific builds, and a darker Seattle tone compared to early showings.
As publishers sometimes add or remove DRM close to launch, the status may change in the coming weeks. We’re tracking DRM (including Denuvo), patches, and crack status on a dedicated page—if you want a quick check on what changed for this title, see our Bloodlines 2 updates page.
Buying tip: if you plan to secure a copy before release, the game is 29% off at Instant Gaming right now—handy if you want to lock in a lower price ahead of day-one patches.
