Short article with more information:

https://www.pcgamer.com/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2-has-been-quietly-rebuilt-by-dear-esther-developer-the-chinese-room-with-different-gameplay-mechanics-and-rpg-systems/

TLDR: Dev is The Chinese Room, developer of Dear Esther and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. They still won't say what happened with Hardsuit Labs, the OG dev, and the mechanics and system will be totally different.

Instead of a thin-blood (new, weak vampire), you're an Elder (old, scary vampire) fresh from torpor (long VampNap).

I hope these new mechanics include a 3rd person option
