Code Vein Is A Sequel Crossing Space And Time

At Summer Game Fest 2025, Bandai Namco revealed a teaser for Code Vein 2, a sequel to its 2019 action-RPG that many described as an anime Dark Souls. This sequel has an updated aesthetic while still retaining anime character designs.

While its predecessor was set in a post-apocalyptic future, this one seems to have a dark and gothic medieval fantasy setting (some Bloodborne vibes, perhaps). But the twist appears to be that it will also be crossing different timelines.

According to the official Code Vein 2 Twitter, you'll still be playing as Revenants--vampiric immortals from the previous game--and the description of being "bound by blood" would suggest that the two main characters pictured are siblings. There's also going to be plenty of more formidable boss fights, though judging by your character's transformations, powerful abilities, and also being able to get around on a motorcycle, this could also be a more action-packed sequel while being less influenced by Souls-likes.
