New VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE - BLOODLINES Trailers Spotlight Malkavian And Ventrue Clans

Following the recent introduction of the deadly Toreador, Tremere, Brujahhere, and Thinblood clans, publisher Paradox Interactive shared never-before-seen details on the last two groups you will get to meet in the vast Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 world – the Ventrue and Malkavian clans.

Be sure to learn more about these vampire guilds in the official notes provided by Paradox below:

Malkavians have been traditionally ostracized by the Seattle Kindred. While a few managed to claim territory in less desirable districts, very few have ever managed to rise to the levels of the other clans. Because of this, there is a persistent bias against the Malkavian clan that still exists into modern nights.
 
None of the many nicknames for Clan Malkav – “Lunatics”, “Jesters”, “Visionaries”, “Madmen”, and so on – is as fitting as “Oracles”. To be of the Clan is to understand things nobody else does; and to be affected by that understanding. Among the clan, this shows itself in psychosis, depression, compulsive disorders, or uncounted other mental illnesses. This hasn’t kept the Clan of the Moon from finding a place in Kindred society. Advisers, strategists, preachers, hunters and yes, rulers; all Malkavians walk their very own path.

Historically, Seattle has been the site of many industrial booms, and of course, the Ventrue have been there to capitalize on its fortunes. As more and more billion-dollar corporations shape the local and global landscape, enterprising Ventrue have entrenched themselves in the businesses of the 21st century, paving the way for a prosperous future for their clan… and making enemies of the residents who preferred the way things used to be.
 
The blood of rulers has flown in the veins of the Ventrue since time immemorial – be they high priests, emperors, investment bankers, or chairmen of the board. No surprise then that lineage and loyalty are held in high esteem; even less that others might mistake them for pompous nepotists. The Clan of Kings sees the truth: they are the architects of vampire society, the guardians of the Masquerade. In these modern nights, they are the only thing to stand between the Kindred and extinction. Knowing this, how could they not stick together, to better weather the onslaught? To command the right to rule, for everyone’s betterment? And to swiftly deal with anyone to fall short of these exacting standards?

Considering that this year's E3 is finally starting in less than two weeks, Paradox Interactive will definitely reveal new information on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 in the coming days. In the meantime, take a look at the aforementioned Ventrue and Malkavian clans in tease two trailers:
