Bandai Namco released a new trailer for action RPG CODE VEIN II to introduce the game’s world and main story. Accompanied by the Revenant girl Lou MagMell, players take the role of the Revevant Hunter to stop the Resurgence, an event that will spell the end of the world. Lou is able to revive the protagonist with her own heart and time travel, as the Revenant Hunter is determined to rewrite history.
CODE VEIN II launches January 30, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Here’s an overview 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.
