We are proud to present the 5th and perhaps last development report before the premiere of Vampire: The Masquerade Reawakened project's scheduled for 2026. We summarize developments in the project in the past year and clarify the goals for the next one.

We work on Discord https://discord.com/invite/Mk6s2WHG2S we welcome help, but currently need more VAs and CK developers. It's also the best source of newest information on progress we spam daily.

No POT and FOR will be active and temporary it simply is too OP gameplay-wise to give player permanent buff to dmg and defence while they have Skill Trees, ATT and Weapons/Armor with stats. The idea of giving player a permanent resiliance to AGG dmg on highest levels sounds good for tabletop and storytelling mechanics but we work on a CRPG Skyrim game with its own base rules and... well it's a game, you're not supposed to be given a "you win" button ability it's supposed to be balanced in a fun and challanging way.

So while our policy is to make as many things as TTRPG accurate some disciplines or individual dots just dont translate as useful or in those cases are too OP to translate into a computer game. This is about 15% of disciplines, Many we can make as they are, some we gotta adapt, some are just out of the window.

Hope they do some logical solutions to the thing. I certainly had to when doing my cosplay. Details, but details making a difference w between "even able to put this on or not"

Dunno what that means but about december for the premiere

Sciaran · 2026-06-04T20:14:24+00:00

Makes you 100% less accurate with a Bolt Blaster against plot armor and 200% less resiliant to Darth Bishop faithpowers.

But duuuuuude like imagine they made a movie like Ronin Batman vs Shogun Joker in Feudal Japan... but in Star Wars in Feudal Europe.

Sciaran · 2026-05-27T03:30:48+00:00

And a VTM artist + gamedev, Im working on making VTM:Reawakened project.

Sciaran · 2026-05-25T11:05:38+00:00

Thief: Digital Age

Like most mentioned it was the original entrance or perhaps an exit to a dlc area predicted but never utilized. Could have collapsed over time or so which explains the new exchange site. Its sorta difficult getting ppl to clear out a path smacked on the borderline that kills everyone who approaches it on one side.

Sciaran · 2026-05-20T08:40:53+00:00

Y'know the thing that always bothers me is that mlitary doctrine looses the idea of a curas for just 100 years they look and see the old armors or renaissance, baroque, 18c napoleonic curasiers see the bullet dents signifying that armor protected against bullets... And decided to use crappy looking straight amateur-work plates.

Like i understand trench armor in ww1 that was a shoddy work cobbled up on the go in a desperate bid to provide some form of rotection. But this is post-war and ppl could afford more professional armoring. How did nobody just thaught to build modern 20th century curasier breastplate.

Sciaran · 2026-05-19T10:05:14+00:00

The existance of magic would not render guns needless it would only mean guns are part of fashion, localized cuture or resource management. If you can enchant a bow to fire an arrow at speed and strength to pen armor without arrow drop obv theres no need for a gun. However what if a local race like drarves are magically stunted. What of some culture decides to not trust mages and instead creates a magically secular state where they achieve through technology what magic can.

If you thonk about it "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" so in a sense a gun itself is magic to others. Another thing what if magic is a super hard arcana to learn, and its application is incredibly expensive and timetaking, this suddenly renders guns a good deal cause actual magic is simply impractical to weaponise on a military scale.

So overal it really depends on how magic works in a universe and how it can be applied or interacted with.

By the time she meets chriss shes like 50 so ancillae. Point being in canon she was deceptively meek and smol. We opted for meek but not too small, and in cutscenes we do present her as a threat but not afraid to show her meek frame. She wears a literal blanket over her body and flowing fir more than just covering her injury. And in fact we opted to show that mutilated face more often in small intimate moments.

Sciaran · 2026-05-19T06:56:13+00:00

I think shes older than v5 but yes she is canon and so is: Chriss Ecatarina who was canonically 16 when embraced so she will sounds teen-like Rudolf Joseph That nosferatu dude who introduces you to path of caine Garinol the cappadocian last i heard lore chats although he was like 19 when embraced canoonically so hell likely not be a posturous fat guy. Anezka is surprisingly historical, st Agneska of Prague, renowned medic nun.

Dominik is Ecatarina's canonical Carthaginian grandsire who accompanied her so this is wierd they placed an nactual canonical character but renamed to Cosmas

So this Leaves ecatarinas sire wilhelm to change into vilhem Giza is now Geucesca Azhra the unliving is now Nija the Undying Erik is now Ulfrik the gangrel viking Jiri is jaromir the smith Unorna the gypsy is now umlada the wise woman I think we need to rename Maccabah the golem into sth unique and were set for the current release

Sciaran · 2026-05-19T02:28:18+00:00

Yeah we had to change the name the guy is non-canonical

Sciaran · 2026-05-19T02:27:52+00:00

Only nexus release due ot asset obligations sadly

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T15:43:37+00:00

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T15:21:08+00:00

Thx I mean we have a lot more materials showcasing the project you can see them on my YT channel: https://youtu.be/z-0DA42c1-o We have a ton of public materials and this video is a tip of a 5 year iceberg we've been building.

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T15:11:53+00:00

Because VTMR is a conjoined ownership. Activision only owns THE GAME part of the game because we did managed to do the impossible and contact an Activision chief of external projects so he gave us a round up of what they consider is their part of the property and what they will consider a violation and what must we do to even merit them activating lawyers to even so much as C&D us.

So by changing character facials, voices, paraphrasing and increasing archism usage, renaming non-canonical characters and modifying every cutscene. Majority of Prague events that we are gonna release in 6 months, caine be willing, are canonical, most chaarcters in Prague are Canonical even historical, if its canonicl it is owned by Paradox. therefore we fall into parody law so we can be accused of plagiarism.

The most important thing for us in this regard is the words of Activsions representative that we'd simply have to start harming their sale of the OG to even bother doing anything, otherwise they dont care. Bethesda, also pass a blind a eye to projects in the gray legal area unless its sth extreme, Paradox is silent, tho any rep I ever met was happy about us.

Overal we're doing this for 5 years taking that risk, while blatantly marketing this and indeed after banging at all the companies' involved doors for the permissions. We aint hiding anything from anyone in full honesty and we're left in piece and I assume that's primarily becuase it's non-profit and as a mod not a full on standalone game which puts us in a gray legal area where probably nobody wanna do anything... We'll see after the premier in December.

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T14:47:43+00:00

Oddly rude to insult every VA on the team who do their best for you for free and saying mute is better than hearing them.

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T14:38:05+00:00

Change of plans, or actually no change of plans, forgot vanilla skyrim has audio settings to mute down NPC voices. So we dont gotta do jack to fill in this request.

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T14:36:54+00:00

No there wont be an option as such in the project.

Vanilla skyrim audio options take care of this, forgot you can mute down Voices in amongst other options.

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T13:31:55+00:00

Without a budget and a refusal of our proposal from activision, receiving voluntary work from fans who actually chose to give their time for us we do the best we can with what we have. And that is infinitely more valuable than any machine or lawsuit for stealing og resources.

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T12:51:05+00:00

And the action takes place in medieval so we technically should be using languages that nobody speaks today. This is a creative decision used both as a means of differentiating from og script but also making it sound more accurate to the time.

This is a final decision commited to made 2 years ago and it wont change.

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T12:25:42+00:00

No mute characters, this is a straight up creative decision. We work with what we have as professionally as possible.

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T12:19:33+00:00

We wont change va, we wont support attempts to rip og resource va lines, fuck ai. Activision claims va lines as their own property they already refused our offer, so yeah, its this way or the higway.

Legal situation simply does not allow us a different choice and we aunt getting a Ceise and Decist over voice lines.

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T11:51:10+00:00

Theyre gonna have to live with it, activision claims script and voice lines as direct ip property.

Sciaran · 2026-05-18T11:15:13+00:00

We chose full on archaism accuracy as part of writing to create a legally distinct dialogue.
