Code Vein II, the second entry in the hardcore action role-playing game series published by Bandai Namco, has been announced today with a new trailer.
The trailer, which was shown during this year's Summer Game Fest, provides a quick look at the game's dark setting, main characters, and the fearsome enemies they will have to face, which all feel in line with what we have seen in the original game released back in 2019. The trailer also confirmed the game will be launching in 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
In case you have never heard of the original Code Vein and want to get up to speed, you can learn more about it ahead of Code Vein II's release in 2026 by checking out our review.
But despite its occasionally tedious locations, Code Vein does tap into the satisfaction that comes from exploration and conquest. With no real loading screens, you’ll want to keep pushing forward, testing your luck and hopefully pushing your sidekick off a skyscraper. The combat has a lot going on, even if most of the encounters start with the same type of ambush. Whether Code Vein can be remembered in the same way as Dragon's Dogma is yet to be seen, but its over the top edgy aesthetic and pretty decent combat make it fun enough to jump into.
