We, the undersigned, are dedicated fans of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, a game that has stood the test of time due to its unique blend of narrative depth, atmospheric world-building, and RPG mechanics. Since its release in 2004, Bloodlines has become a cult classic, beloved by fans for its haunting storytelling, unforgettable characters, and open-ended choices. However, despite its critical acclaim, the game’s technical issues and outdated visuals have prevented it from reaching its full potential.

For over 15 years, the Bloodlines fanbase has continued to support the game, creating mods, patches, and fan content, showing that there is still a vibrant and dedicated community. The demand for a proper remake or remaster of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines has never been greater, and it’s time for the franchises' stewards to listen to the fans.

We acknowledge that the ownership of Vampire: The Masquerade is complex, with Paradox Interactive holding the rights to the IP, Activision as the publisher (now under Microsoft’s ownership), and White Wolf Publishing being the original creator. However, regardless of the ownership structure, the power to make this remake happen lies with Microsoft, Activision, and Paradox. The opportunity to bring Bloodlines into the modern era is now more achievable than ever.

1. Our Demands:
   
   • A Proper Remake or Remaster of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines:
   • We demand a faithful remake or remaster that retains the core narrative, world-building, and gameplay elements that made the original game a classic.
   • The game should be modernized for current hardware, with updated visuals, improved AI, and better mechanics that do justice to the game’s potential while respecting the original's spirit.
2. Stay True to the Original:
   • The essence of Bloodlines must be preserved: its intricate storytelling, the meaningful choices, the deep dialogue, the gothic atmosphere, and the character-driven world that made it unforgettable.
   • The game should be accessible to a new generation of players, but it should also appeal to long-time fans by keeping what made Bloodlines special.
3. Engage a Developer Who Understands the Legacy:
   • We call on Paradox Interactive, Microsoft, and Activision to engage a developer who respects the legacy of Bloodlines and understands the deep lore of Vampire: The Masquerade.
   • The developer must be capable of updating the game’s systems without sacrificing its core principles—narrative-driven gameplay, player choice, and world-building.
4. Transparency and Community Engagement:
   • We request regular updates on the remake’s progress and transparency in the development process.
   • Fans should be engaged and consulted to ensure the remake stays faithful to the original and meets the expectations of the community.

Why This Matters:
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines isn’t just a game; it’s a legacy that has resonated with fans for over a decade. The fanbase is still active, with numerous fan-made mods and community-driven projects that have kept the game alive in the hearts of players. A proper remake or remaster would not only satisfy long-time fans, but it would also introduce Bloodlines to a new audience, proving that the game still has the potential to be a modern classic.

The ownership structure may be complicated, but the fans are ready. We know Bloodlines can be more than it was—modernized, expanded, and brought to a new generation of players while retaining everything that made it one of the most revered RPGs of all time.

Conclusion:
Microsoft, Activision, and Paradox Interactive, the time has come to honor the legacy of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines with a proper remake. This is an opportunity to give fans what they have been asking for since 2004—an updated, improved version of Bloodlines that can stand proudly alongside the greatest RPGs of all time.

By signing this petition, we stand united in our demand for a faithful remake (or remaster) of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, one that captures the heart and soul of the original while breathing new life into its dark, immersive world.
