CODE VEIN II features a rich narrative where players and characters are bound by blood, fate, and destiny, set in a future where the last remnants of humanity and Revenants struggle against a world on the verge of collapse. Following the sudden emergence of a threat known as the Luna Rapacis, Revenants have succumbed to madness, transforming into terrifying creatures called Horrors. The players, as the Revenant Hunter, will be guided by a mysterious girl named Lou who possesses the power to travel into the past. They will both intervene in crucial moments of history to alter key revenants' destinies that reveal hidden truths and information to rewrite the fate of the world and save the future.
Players will embark on a journey through a world that spans two eras, where decisions carry weight and every battle tests skill and resolve. CODE VEIN II features distinctive gameplay for an action RPG, where players use blood drained from enemies to unlock a variety of powerful skills, build strategy for combat with Blood codes, and use unique weapons and equipment called Jails to overcome challenging foes and epic bosses. Players can also forge bonds with powerful Partner allies who fight alongside them and enhance their abilities. Each Partner offers distinct skills and deep narrative connections that shape the journey. Bandai Namco will reveal many more details about the rich universe and game play in CODE VEIN II at a later date.
