A new trailer for the upcoming Vampire: the Masquerade video game, Swansong, reveals a jazzy Toreador diva that will warm even the coldest heart.
Vampire the Masquerade: Swansong is an upcoming rpg set in the World of Darkness where you’ll play as three different vampires who become embroiled in a bloody affair boiling over in Boston that will determine the fate of the vampiric court in the city. And today we got a look at the third protgaonist, the jazz singer and Toreador extroreador, Emem.
Although she looks like a young woman with magnetic charm, Emem is actually 100 years old. A former jazz diva, she now belongs to the Toreador clan after having been transformed by Hilda, the love of her life. The video depicts an attack in the streets of Boston, but the prey is not necessarily the one who seems to be the weakest… Emem ultimately reveals her powers, from the Disciplines of Celerity and Presence, which can make her virtually invisible.
Emem is one of the 3 playable characters whose intertwined stories will decide the fate of Boston in Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong, coming in 2022 to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
In the video we get to check out what happens when the prey turns out to be the predator as we see Emem lure a would-be attacker to their doom. This brings the roster to a Toreador, Galeb, whose wealth and power are the markings of a bygone age, Leysha, the Malkavian whose tragic past comes back to haunt her during waking lives.
The whole thing will be played out as a 3d RPG where you’ll get to explore the streets of Boston and discover what awaits you in a whirlwind of intrigue and plays for power. If you like the courtly intrigue in the shadows that a good game of Vampire can offer, you’ll want to check out Swansong:
In this narrative RPG adapted from the 5th edition of Vampire: The Masquerade, the player takes control of 3 vampires belonging to different clans of the Camarilla, the secret society to which most vampires belong. Weaving between their intertwined tales, the player has to confront the different points of view of his characters to unravel fact from fiction. With whispers of conspiracy, murder and power struggles, the player must protect his clan, discover the truth and above all enforce the Masquerade, the vampire law designed to conceal the existence of creatures of the night from humans.
Swansong is available 2022
