Description:

The protagonist is a Revenant Hunter who must travel between two interconnected timelines to uncover a hidden history and prevent the world's downfall. This time-spanning journey is aided by a mysterious girl named Lou who can manipulate time. The world is on the verge of collapse due to the sudden appearance of a threat called the Luna Rapacis, which has turned Revenants into monsters called Horrors. It is not a direct sequel to the first Code Vein and features a new world and story.

First Impressions:

Stepping back into this post-apocalyptic world felt like a homecoming, but one that’s been significantly upgraded. The first thing that hit us was the sheer weight of the combat; it feels much more deliberate and punishing than the original. We spent our first hour getting absolutely wrecked by the new "Horrors", but the expanded weapon arsenal (specifically the Rune Blades and Dual Swords) offered a level of fluid experimentation that kept us hooked. The standout though is the new Formae system, which replaces the old Gifts and ties unique skills directly to your weapons. It forces you to really think about your loadout rather than just sticking to one Blood Code for the entire run, and the satisfaction of parrying a massive boss to unleash a cinematic Blood Veil attack is still unmatched.

What truly surprised us, however, was how much heart is packed into this sequel. The world feels denser and more vertical, and the new pathfinding mechanic (which color-codes your explored routes) is a godsend for someone who constantly gets lost in sprawling dungeons. But beyond the mechanics, it's the storytelling that grabbed us. Diving into the memories of companions through the new time-travel mechanic adds a layer of emotional stakes we didn't expect; you're not just fighting to survive, you're fighting to rewrite a tragic history. Even though the difficulty spikes are brutal (seriously, the bosses are like hitting a brick wall!) the ability to have your partner either fight alongside you or assimilate into you for buffs gives the game a strategic depth that makes every hard-won victory feel personal and earned.

Release Date and Platforms: January 30, 2026 to PS5, Xbox and PC
