Sharkmob’s Vampire: The Masquerade-inspired battle royale, Bloodhunt, will return to PC screens following a lengthy down period, so here’s how to get involved in the PC Playtest and dive back into the bloodstained streets of Prague.

As the battle royale genre continues to expand following the success of titles like Apex Legends and Fortnite, one of the things no one ever saw coming was a Vampire: The Masquerade-themed shooter; but that’s exactly what Bloodhunt is.

Allowing players to take control of VTM’s numerous different clans to fight for the crown amid the moonlit streets of a rain-soaked Prague, the game’s early access heralded success.

With a console release pegged for Spring 2022, Sharkmob have thrown open the gates to hell once more with a PC Playtest. If you’ve missed draining the life from your enemies, or simply want to try out Bloodhunt, here’s how to participate in the Playtest and dive into the action a little earlier than your comrades.
