New CODE VEIN Trailer Features Two Vampires Fighting Against The Invading Executioner

Code Vein will hit the stores before the upcoming releases of every single Dark Souls-like game in development, including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Lords of the Fallen 2, The Surge 2, and Nioh 2, so there's still hope the slasher will leave a mark. 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. 

Shift, the studio that's currently working on Code Vein also delivered God Eater Resurrection back in 2015. The game is being helmed by director Hiroshi Yoshimura, thee artist who helmed the original God Eater, so it shouldn't be surprising that the game's universe looks wonderfully bizarre, colorful, but also pretty gritty and unsettling, and the steampunk cat is a thing of beauty and one to behold.

Code features an AI partner to help you, but you can also "hire" a real person helping you against the difficult opponents you may encounter. Bandai Namco has released new footage including the Invading Executioner. This fierce warrior wields a potentially devastating spear, and you can check out two videos featuring the battle, one released by IGN and the second one by Bandai, down below:

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.
