Code Vein 2 Unveiled at 2025 Summer Game Fest

Code Vein 2 has been officially announced, with a release set for 2026 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S. This sequel to the 2019 action RPG will immerse players in a post-apocalyptic world where human memories and a struggle for survival against a new threat named Luna Rapacis take center stage. Featuring dynamic action, strategic combat, and intense boss battles, the game promises to expand upon its predecessor's unique mechanics, including the ability to shape destinies and wield time as a weapon. Players will have the opportunity to explore diverse environments while forging bonds with partner allies, enhancing both narrative depth and gameplay complexity.

Players can anticipate a rich narrative intertwined with themes of blood, fate, and destiny, set against the backdrop of a dual chronology that allows for impactful decisions and significant character development. The ability to unlock powerful skills through blood drained from enemies and the implementation of strategic combat elements will be central to the gaming experience.

Released in 2019, the original Code Vein gained attention for its anime aesthetic and comparisons to FromSoftware's acclaimed Souls series. The game, which revolved around the concept of Revenants in a vampire-themed setting, received multiple DLCs and garnered a moderate reception, leading to anticipation for its sequel. As Bandai Namco unveils more information about Code Vein 2, fans of the genre can look forward to enhanced gameplay features and an enriched storyline in this exciting follow-up.
