Code Vein, Bandai Namco's new RPG inspired by gameplay mechanics found in games like
NieR: Automata, Dark Souls, and
Bloodborne set in the post-apocalyptic world where the only choice left is to hunt or be hunted (make no mistake, Geralt won't show up to save you) has finally been given an official release date and will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on September 28, 2018.
Two recently released gameplay trailers focus on the weapons our vampire protagonists will use to kill steampunk monsters. Carnivorous claw Ogre demolishes grotesque daemons with pure power and sheer force while the sinister Stinger tears apart enemies and sap away their blood with ease.
Code Vein is already available to pre-order on
Amazon for those who don’t want to miss out on getting their copy first, available for both PS4 and Xbox One. Though with only a few days until E3, we can't help but wonder if Bandai Namco has anything else up their sleeves that can catch us off guard...
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 will be available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Septmeber 28, 2018.
