Vampire: Bloodlines Delay Possibility

CNN Money has dished up a new article in which they discuss the theft of the source code for Half-Life 2 and its reprecussions, including the delay of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines until 2005. The pertinent details to follow:

“Half-Life 2” wasn’t the only game delayed by the source-code theft. Valve had licensed out the game’s “Source” graphics engine to developer Troika, which was hard at work building “Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines,” a PC role-playing game. That game, initially set to be released this year, had to be delayed to implement the same security fixes needed on HL2. It now has a target release date of Spring 2005, said Trokia co-founder Jason Anderson.
