Code Vein II picks up a January 2026 release date

Bandai Namco have announced that Code Vein II, will release on January 30 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. They also confirmed the game will have a number of different release options. Check out the latest trailer for the game below.
In addition to the trailer above, an extended gameplay presentation was also released, which shows off around 15 minutes of gameplay for the game, so if you are keen you can check that out below.
One of the aspects for the game is that players will be able to create their own protagonist, which includes hair, outfits and even tattoos. This will likely be done in the game when the protagonist is revived by Lou MagMell, a Revenant girl. Together the player and Lou MagMell will travel through time to rewrite history and save the world.
Also revealed is the new Partner System, which lets players seamlessly switch between two forms of combat. In Summoning mode, Partners fight independently to support in battle, while Assimilation merges them with the Hunter for enhanced stats and devastating power. The trailer further highlights new Jails and Formae, including the returning Hound Jail, a finishing critical move from CODE VEIN which summons vicious wolves that drain enemies of Ichor, and the newly introduced Reaper Jail, which equips the Hunter with a scythe for sweeping attacks and counters.
Formae expands the player’s combat options with a range of offensive and defensive abilities, while Bequeathed Formae summons unique weapons such as the “Absolute Executioner,” a colossal greatsword capable of delivering a single, devastating finishing blow.
