Now that Paradox has, after much secrecy, revealed Everybody's Gone to the Rapture developer The Chinese Room as the new team working on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, the information floodgates are open, and the studio's latest development update has unveiled a new fully voiced playable protagonist, Phyre.
As per The Chinese Room's latest developer stream, Phyre is a somewhat pre-defined Elder vampire recently awoken after a 100-year slumber and slightly bewildered by modern-day Seattle. Phyre, for reasons initially unknown, carries a mysterious brand on their hand which is somehow connected to a voice in their head - belonging to a modern vampire known as Fabien - who's bound to them, serving as an ever-present companion as the adventure continues.
While Phyre's loose backstory might already be in place, there's some flexibility as to how they present in-game, with players able to choose their gender, clothing, and clan.
