Metal band Genitorturers allegedly claims a Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines remake is coming, getting a dozen crusty nerds way too worked up

This one is thin, man, but it has to do with one of my favorite games of all time, while the circumstances of the rumor are just kind of neat and weird, even if it turns out to be nothing. User Few_Interview8222 on the Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines subreddit reported back from a Genitorturers show in Brooklyn, New York. Partway through the set, the band supposedly told the crowd that a VtMB remake is happening.

I haven't found any corroborating accounts of Few_Interview8222's story, but Genitorturers undeniably played at Brooklyn's The Meadows as part of their "Live + Lewd Tour" on October 15, which puts them in the right place at the right time. We've reached out to both rights-holder Activision (one of several, it's complicated) and Genitorturers' representation, and will update this story if we hear back.

In addition to a killer score by Rik Schaffer, Bloodlines featured wonderfully era-appropriate licensed tracks from metal bands⁠—they were mostly used as diegetic music in the nightclubs and bars of Los Angeles. The Genitorturers track Lecher Bitch was the pitch-perfect theme of The Last Round, a downtown LA dive bar frequented by the Anarch faction of vampires.

Multiple commenters on the Reddit thread point out that this could have been a confused, untimely, misinterpreted, or all of the above reference to last year's Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 . You could easily imagine a concertgoer mishearing something in that context, or a performer fumbling delivery of the exact information.
