๐ฅ Plot Overview
More than a decade after the fall of the vampire hives and the rebellion of one rogue priest, the world of Priest remains haunted by its scars. In Priest 2, the Church is weakened, cities lie in ruin, and humanity teeters on the edge of extinction once more.
Paul Bettanyโs character โ a disillusioned, exiled warrior-priest โ is drawn back into battle when whispers emerge of a new breed of vampire, stronger, smarter, and born not of the ancient plague but from unnatural experimentation. As entire border towns vanish overnight, he joins forces with an unlikely alliance: rogue priests, a cyber-enhanced vampire hunter, and a girl born of both human and vampire blood โ the possible key to either salvation or annihilation.
As darkness descends, war erupts across wastelands and ruins. Trust is scarce, but the Priest must face not only monsters outside โ but his own guilt, loss, and fear within.
