The follow-up to 2019’s Code Vein, Code Vein II, is scheduled to be released early next year. Today, developer/publisher Bandai Namco revealed information about the upcoming narrative-driven action RPG’s rich storyline and memorable cast of characters. In the game, players wield time as a weapon and traverse through the past and present versions of the world. Travel across vast environments with your party, who factor into a dynamic Partner System.
Here is a description of the game, via Bandai Namco:
Code Vein II features a deep narrative where players and characters are bound by blood, fate, and destiny, set in a future where the last remnants of humanity and Revenants struggle against a world on the verge of collapse. The player’s journey will span across haunting, post-apocalyptic landscapes including the flooded ruins of the Sunken City, The Undead Forest, the isolated MagMell Island, and more. As the story unfolds, players will encounter the legendary heroes, Revenants who may hold the keys to saving this collapsing world. Among them are Josée Anjou, the “Queen of Solitude,” who once ruled a sanctuary swallowed by the sea, and Holly Asturias, a healer burdened by the title of “Reaper Witch.”
Code Vein II features distinctive gameplay for an action RPG, where players use blood drained from enemies to unlock a variety of powerful skills, build strategy for combat with Blood codes, and use unique weapons and equipment called Jails to overcome challenging foes and epic bosses. Code Vein II also features a deep customization system for the game’s protagonist, where players can customize their characters to perfection with a vast array of settings for body type, hairstyle, facial expressions, accessories, makeup and more.
In the game, players become the Revenant Hunter to prevent the Resurgence, a cataclysmic event on the brink of occurring. The Revenant Hunter is accompanied by a Revenant girl who revives them with her heart and has the power to travel through time. Together, they set out to rewrite history and save the world. The trailer also showcases the powerful bonds between Revenants and introduces new characters, and features the original score by Go Shiina.
Developed and published by Bandai Namco, Code Vein II will be released for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series on January 30, 2026.
