Bandai Namco has released the “Prologue” trailer for dramatic exploration action RPG Code Vein II.

Here is an overview of the game, via Bandai Namco:

About

In Code Vein II, players explore a compelling story about connections forged through blood, fate, and destiny. The game is set in a decaying future where humanity and the undead, known as Revenants, fight for survival. When a new danger called the Luna Rapacis emerges, Revenants begin to lose their minds and become monstrous Horrors. Players take on the role of a Revenant Hunter, working alongside a mysterious girl named Lou who can travel through time. Together, they must change pivotal events in the past to alter the fates of key Revenants, uncover hidden secrets, and ultimately save the future.

In Code Vein II, players will explore a world existing across two different time periods, where choices matter and combat demands both skill and determination. This action RPG offers a unique gameplay experience: players gain powerful abilities by absorbing the blood of defeated enemies, customize their combat style with ‘Blood Codes,’ and utilize special weapons and gear called ‘Jails’ to defeat tough enemies and massive bosses. Players can also team up with powerful Partner characters who fight by their side and provide valuable support. Each Partner has unique skills and a compelling backstory that adds depth to the game. Bandai Namco plans to share more details about the game’s world and features soon.
