At Summer Games Fest 2025, Bandai Namco announced the sequel to its anime souls-like hit Code Vein, Code Vein II. It’s been eight years since the first game was initially announced.
Check out the Code Vein II trailer that revealed the new game.
The trailer once again brings us back to the gothic-inspired, revenant-infested world of Code Vein. This time, we meet a new protagonist known as the Revenant Hunter, who wields a blood veil similar to that of the original game’s hero. However, there is a notable change: golden blood now takes center stage, replacing the signature red from the first entry. We’re also introduced to Lou, a new companion character who seems to be filling the role once held by Io, your guardian from the previous game.
We see her open a portal, possibly hinting at a different timeline or an alternate dimension within this world. Gameplay footage teases new mechanics, including what looks like a perfect guard system and several new weapon types. We also catch a glimpse of what may be new blood veil variations available to the player. Interestingly, a motorcycle is shown, which could suggest a larger world to explore compared...
