In his statement to RPS, which is quoted in full below, Mitsoda says that he is 'incredibly disappointed and frustrated to say that this is where it ends for me on the project.' He says that he's been involved with the project since its very beginning, in charge of narrative, and he had 'never been led to believe that I hadnвЂ™t succeeded' in fulfilling the projects goals. We wish them both the best in their future endeavors,' the statement continues. 'We appreciate, and value, the contributions of Brian and KaвЂ™ai, which were instrumental in establishing the game's storyline and dark tone and have helped to ensure that we are making a true successor to the iconic Bloodlines. Paradox's statement, posted to the Bloodlines 2 website, says that the change was a 'joint decision made by the leadership of Hardsuit Labs and Paradox Interactive.' Most of the Bloodline 2's marketing has put Mitsoda front and centre, both in trailers and at events.

Mitsoda was a lead writer on the original Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines at Troika Games, and his presence on the development team for its sequel lent the project credibility.

Paradox Interactive have said in their own statement that Mitsoda and creative director Ka'ai Cluney are 'no longer part of the team at Hardsuit Labs.'

'That this came as a shock to me is underselling it,' wrote Mitsoda in a email statement given to RPS. Brian Mitsoda has been 'suddenly terminated' from his position as narrative lead on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2.
