Evaluation

Vampire: The Masquerade — Out for Blood launched on July 29, 2021 as a complete 455,000-word interactive novel. A week-one patch on August 4, 2021 addressed bugs and added minor quality-of-life features. The developer then shipped a single named major update — "True Faith" — on January 12, 2023, adding new religious backgrounds, True Faith mechanics, new locations, and additional ways to interact with vampires, all at no extra cost to existing owners. That is the only major content release across the game's history, and there are no unreleased DLC entries on the store. Since the True Faith update in January 2023, the developer has made no further announcements, roadmap posts, or hints of additional content. The game appears to have reached its final form with that update.
Evidence
The 'True Faith' major update shipped, adding new religious backgrounds, True Faith powers, locations, and vampire-hunting options — free to all owners. This is the last developer communication on record.

About this game

Gather your allies to hunt the vampires that terrorize your town! Study their ways and exploit their rivalries, or you'll become a vampire yourself.

Vampire: The Masquerade — Out for Blood is a 455,000-word interactive horror novel by Jim Dattilo, based on Vampire: The Masquerade and set in the World of Darkness shared story universe. Your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

You’ve barely settled into your new home of Jericho Heights on the outskirts of Chicago, before discovering that vampires live in town. You’re struggling to start a new life, meet new people, and maybe even find love. But when your neighbors start disappearing, you’re forced to take action.

Take on the role of a vampire hunter to save your town from the influence of Chastain, a vampire more than a century old. When a group of young thin-blood vampires start a war with Chastain, will you choose sides, or hunt them all?
