Bandai Namco released a new trailer for action RPG CODE VEIN II to introduce the game’s female protagonist Lou MagMell. Lou is a devoted Revenant, and she’s bound to the protagonist by blood.

Accompanied by the Revenant girl Lou MagMell, CODE VEIN II players take the role of the Revevant Hunter to stop the Resurgence, an event that will spell the end of the world.

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.

HARMA

Astrolabe Games and developer Indirect Shine have released the first public demo for upcoming roguelike deckbuilder HARMA on PC via Steam. The limited-time demo lets players experience the prologue of HARMA and the game’s challenging turn-based combat system before the early access launch in 2026.

Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via Astrolabe Games:

HARMA is a retro dark fantasy roguelike deckbuilding game featuring a story-driven
campaign. Uncover the truth behind the fallen knights, the burning kingdom, and your
missing father. Harness the power of mighty artifacts to defeat demons and save a
world on the brink of destruction.

A Grim Tale of Fate

The knights who returned from their expedition began slaughtering their own people.
On the day the kingdom burned and everything was lost, you were left standing alone
in the heart of the tragedy. In a world filled with betrayal and despair, uncover the truth and stand against the darkness.

Unique and Strategic Battles through the Artifact System

In Harma’s battles, the strength of your cards is determined by the random activation
of three artifacts. But with Focus, you can override chance – forcing artifact
activations to seize control of your destiny. Will you leave it to chance, or will you risk it all with decisive Focus? Your choice will completely alter the battlefield. Combine two playable characters with over 300 unique cards and artifacts to forge
your own deck and strategy.

Discover Harma’s Fate through Story Campaign

Harma’s campaign unfolds across four epic acts. Witness the fall of the world and uncover the fate of Eden through dynamic battles, branching dialogue, and cinematic cutscenes.

Unlimited Challenges and Replayability via Dimensional Rift

Crave pure combat and strategy beyond the story? Enter Dimensional Rift—an endlessly replayable mode where cinematic storytelling takes a backseat to relentless, ever-changing battles. Test your skills, forge new builds, and push your limits to the extreme.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties

SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have revealed several new details about Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, including the main story for both games, combat, ability upgrades, and much more. The latest details about Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties were revealed on the newly updated official website.

Set in 2009, the story of Yakuza Kiwami 3 takes place after the Omi Alliance conflict in Yakuza Kiwami 2. Kazuma Kiryu entrusts the future of the Tojo Clan to Daigo Dojima and moves to Okinawa with Haruka. In Okinawa, Kiryu runs Morning Glory, an orphanage connected to his late foster father Shintaro Kazama. He spends his day there in peace with his children until a government-backed resort development plan by Japan’s land, infrastructure, and transport minister Yoshinobu Suzuki threats to wipe out the orphanage entirely.

Meanwhile, the Tojo Clan is embroiled in turmoil during a fierce succession dispute after Daigo is shot by a mysterious figure. A massive conspiracy emerges in the political world, and Kazuma Kiryu must once again don his iconic suit to face new conflicts in Okinawa and in Tokyo. As previously discussed, Kiryu has access to his Dragon of Dojima: Kiwami and new Ryukyu fighting styles, with the latter being weapon based and rooted in Okinawan martial arts. Kiryu has his most diverse skill set to date, thanks to missions, training, and other avenues of character progression, including his cell phone.

The Dark Ties prequel story takes place in 2007—two years before the events of Yakuza Kiwami 3. Yoshitaka Mine, who once launched a successful startup, is stabbed in the back by a trusted partner. In his drunken stupor, Mine witnesses a conflict between yakuza factions in Kamurocho. After watching Daigo’s subordinate sacrifice themselves, Mine decides to search for what makes a bond transcend material gains. He approaches Tsuyoshi Kanda of the Tojo Clan’s Nishikiyama Family to learn more about Daigo, and in turn, becomes Kanda’s sword brother. The Tojo Clan catches on to Mine and Kanda’s actions, resulting in them springing to action.

Dark Ties Screenshots

The antagonist of Yakuza Kiwami 3 is the protagonist in Dark Ties, and he access to an elegant fighting style based on shoot-boxing in combat. As Mine, players can exploit openings in the opponent’s defense and beat them down with refined combos. Mine is also mobile with dashes, including a mid-air hop. Like Kiryu, Mine also has numerous abilities and Heat Actions. Mine can also unleash Dark Awakening, a mode that empowers him with a feral, cold-blooded fighting style. 

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties launches February 12, 2026 for $59.99 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. There will be physical and digital editions, and pre-orders include the Ichiban Legendary Lad DLC. A Digital Deluxe Edition costs $74.99 and includes several DLC packs (also sold separately).
