Whether you’re well-versed in the rich universe of Vampire: The Masquerade or a newcomer, it matters not in regards to the latest instalment. Prepare for a political themed horror in the form of Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York, which has just arrived on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC. Will it be able to satisfy your bloodlust?
Shadows of New York is a visual novel that works as both a standalone expansion of the Vampire: The Masquerade lore and as a complementary piece to the previous title, Coteries of New York. This follow-up proves to be a more personal and unique tale set in the world of the tabletop role-playing game. While the metropolis is familiar to some, Shadows of New York will still offer a fresh perspective as you get to meet new characters and visit new locations.
We hate to break it to you, but you’ll take on the role of a nobody, an outcast within their own vampiric faction. You are an immigrant that’s never really fit in anywhere, until New York’s Anarch leader meets a rather gruesome end and, bizarrely, you’re the bloodsucker tasked with investigating the death. It’s clearly some kind of devious ploy in the constant back and forth between warring factions. Nevertheless, as a member of the Lasombra clan, you shouldn’t be underestimated – not by anyone.
Get ready for multiple playthroughs as you explore the streets of the Big Apple, fulfilling your own thirst for blood and building important connections with the fascinating inhabitants of the city. Be aware that the choices you make will alter the way your character thinks and the path they end up following. And your first decision is the most crucial as you decide whether to purchase Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York from the Xbox Store for £10.74 – it’s also available on the PS Store, Nintendo eShop and Steam.
