Not finding any of this under news, or i am blind, i think it's a pretty big deal. CCP was just sitting on this and not doing anything with this amazing franchise , so looks like we might see some new Vampire Masquerade games .

Swedish publisher Paradox has purchased “White wolf and all properties” from EVE Online firm CCP – a final nail in the coffin of the latter’s troubled plans for a World Of Darkness MMO. This also means that Paradox now owns the rights to Vampire: The Masquerade.

It’s Paradox’s “biggest investment ever;” White Wolf will, however “operate as an independent entity with a dedicated team.”


Paradox were hitherto best known for their grand strategy PC games, including Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis, though recently found more mainstream success with unofficial SimCity heir Cities: Skylines and Obisidian’s fantasy RPG Pillars of Eternity. The White Wolf acquisition sees them venture into new territory. Claimed Paradox’s VP of Acquisition & Portfolio Strategy Shams Jorjani, saying that “We’ve been huge fans of the white wolf IPs for a long time especially World of Darkness/Vampire. Gonna be great to give it some fresh blood” and confirming that the purchase “includes everything,” even assets CCP created for unreleased games.

Might even see some sort of World of Darkness afterall
 
I would love a remake of Redemption. Bloodlines was awesome but I enjoyed Redemption more.
 
Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines is one of my top 5 favourite games of all time and I was so looking forward to the World of Darkness MMO. Paradox is a fantastic publisher and I think they are going to do great things with the IP. I was ecstatic at hearing this news. A Werewolf: The Apocalypse game would also be incredible.
