Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will be available on the Epic Games Store, among other digital storefronts, but if you attempt to hit its Epic Store page right now, you’ll come up empty. That’s because Paradox has removed the game, apparently in order to keep it out of the Epic Mega Sale that began yesterday.
An Epic Games spokesperson confirmed that Paradox requested the game’s removal. “If a developer or publisher chooses to not participate in our sales, we will honor that decision,” the rep said. “Paradox Interactive has chosen to not participate in the Epic Mega Sale and the game has been temporarily removed from sale.”
Paradox Interactive echoed Epic in its own separate statement, but did not say exactly why the game was removed, rather than simply left at regular price. It did confirm, however, that it will honor the discounted price for anyone who purchased Bloodlines 2 before it was removed from the store.
“We are in discussion with Epic regarding the temporary removal of Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from the Epic Game Store,” public relations manager Jesse Henning said. “The game will return to the store soon! Any purchases made while the game was discounted during the Epic Mega Sale will be honored and no Masquerade violations will be assessed.
