Bandai Namco recently revealed a four-minute trailer for Code Vein II, giving players a look at the game’s story. It’s set in a future where the final survivors – both humans and the immortal beings known as Revenants – are fighting to survive as the world falls apart.

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

About

In *Code Vein II*, players explore a compelling story about bonds of blood, fate, and destiny, set in a crumbling future world. Humanity and the beings known as Revenants are fighting for survival when a new threat, the Luna Rapacis, drives Revenants insane, turning them into monstrous Horrors. You play as a Revenant Hunter, aided by a mysterious girl named Lou who can travel through time. Together, you’ll journey to crucial moments in the past to change the destinies of key Revenants, uncovering secrets and information needed to 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 power by absorbing the blood of enemies, using it to unlock abilities and customize their combat style with ‘Blood Codes.’ They’ll also utilize special weapons and gear called ‘Jails’ to defeat tough enemies and massive bosses. Players can team up with powerful allies, called Partners, who offer unique skills and compelling storylines. Bandai Namco promises to share more details about the game’s world and features soon.
