Code Vein is an upcoming role-playing action game developed and published by Bandai Namco. In the game you'll play as one of the Revenants, who are immortal creatures that recquire blood to live, or revive once they die.
Giving into bloodlust would turn Revenants into
Lost and are devoided of any humanity. Players will team up on a journey to the ends of Hell to unlock their past and escape their living nightmare as they fight their way against the wandering
Lost.
The game seems to take cues from games like
Dark Souls and
Bloodborne[both published by Bandai Namco] and improve on the formula by adding a Multiplayer Mode. You can even have other players join you online if you need help in a specific area in the unforgiving world of
Code Vein. No friends to join you? Bring over an NPC with you and continue your quest.
Today we got a little bit of gameplay released by Bandai Namco and, while we can't know for sure if the other player is an NPC or not, it still looks like they are quite skilled when helping you take other enemies out.
Check it out:
In the not too distant future, a mysterious disaster has brought collapse to the world as we know it. Towering skyscrapers, once symbols of prosperity, are now lifeless graves of humanity’s past pierced by the Thorns of Judgment. At the center of the destruction lies a hidden society of Revenants called Vein. This final stronghold is where the remaining few fight to survive, blessed with Gifts of power in exchange for their memories and a thirst for blood.
Code Vein still hasn't been given an official release date but is expected to come out this 2018.
