Not really, while Swansong is set in the Vampire the Masquerade universe, which has been around for decades in different forms of media, the game offers a new story and new characters. In fact, there are three vampiric characters that we’ll get to play as, each with their own story and abilities. There are strong RPG elements in Swansong, with a skill tree and abilities that characters gain with experience. Because vampires are also very fashion-minded, we think attire will play a crucial role in this game.
Regarding combat, from the materials we saw thus far, don’t expect lots of real time, fluid combat. There will be some, but the focus is on exploring, investigating, and talking to other characters.
