Bandai Namco has announced a new action RPG called Code Vein.
It stars vampires Revenants who live in a post-apocalyptic future and need to drink blood in order to keep their humanity. A Revenant who doesn’t get enough blood will turn into a monster called a “Lost.”
The player will explore the world of Vein as a Revenant, alongside an AI-controlled “Buddy” partner.
Bandai Namco previously teased this game with the line “Prepare to dine,” and between that and their emphasis on describing its challenging combat, it sounds like they’re going for a Souls-like experience. It might also have similarities to the God Eater series, since God Eater developers are working on it.
I don’t know how much of a focus on story Code Vein will have, but it looks interesting enough to me and I like the idea of exploring a mysterious world to learn the truth about what happened. I also enjoy a good vampire story, so I’ll keep my eye on this one and hope it continues to sound intriguing.
Code Vein is planned for 2018.
