Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe today unveiled the rich storyline and memorable new cast of characters in the upcoming action RPG CODE VEIN™II, the long-awaited follow-up to the 2019 hit CODE VEIN™.
Developed by Bandai Namco Studios Inc., the new action narrative-driven RPG takes players on an epic journey where they wield time as a weapon, traverse through past and present versions of an explorable world and uncover a dramatic battle to save the world.
Players will travel across vast environments with companions who factor large into a dynamic Partner System as they take on challenging foes and massive, unforgettable bosses.
Code Vein II is launching on 30 January 2026 and is available now for pre-orders on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam®.
The trailer reveals a deep dive into the world of Code Vein II where players take the role of the Revenant Hunter to prevent the Resurgence, a cataclysmic event that threatens the fate of the world.
Accompanied by Lou MagMell, a Revenant girl who revives the protagonist with her own heart and wields the power to travel through time, the Revenant Hunter embarks on a mission to rewrite history and save the world.
The trailer also highlights the powerful bonds between Revenants, introduces new characters and voice performances, and features a powerful original score composed by Go Shiina, unveiling a dramatic story shaped by fate, sacrifice, and choice.
Another world snuffed from existence.
"There's only one way to prevent this tragedy
before they reach the point of no return."
I'll use my power to transport us back to a time before the Upheaval.
"Once we're there, hopefully we can make contact
with each of these legendary heroes."
A battle to save the world from ruin.
Let's go.
Wherever you go, I will always be by your side.
My name is Valentin Voda.
So you're a solo hunter, are you?
Tell me, do you have a place to stay in MagMell yet?
A revenant hunter.
Not now.
Get away from here.
Well, can't say I remember hiring you.
But if you're game, lend me a hand.
And Valentin?
He'll be the most powerful figure out here on the frontier.
The hero, Josée.
A revenant who fell victim to her very own powers.
So tell me, my mysterious visitor, who are you?
"In the name of the great Gula bloodline,
I do bestow upon you my blood as proof of our engagement."
Until the Resurgence struck, these horrors must have been the city's residents...
Let's go.
It's high time I faced my past.
When the balance of power shifted from human to revenant, there was a change.
A dramatic shift.
The human spirit was twisted beyond recognition.
If someone has to get hurt, I would rather it be me.
So far as I know, your case is entirely unprecedented
...Ah. Off to kill again.
We all know these are bloody times we live in.
Every one of us is desperate to survive.
But you crossed a line (removed period at the end)
killing my people.
Raiders making their move, huh?
That should at least give you enough time to escape
That ring.
Damn it, there's no getting through to him.
Curs
Damned, wretched curs
They would dare to truly stoop so low.
Do you remember the statue of that revenant I showed you in the Present?
"If fate runs its course, Noah will die fighting the raiders,
and the others here won't fare much better."
"Need I remind you that tampering with history,
unless under the most extreme of circumstances, is strictly forbidden?"
What will you do if your meddling ends up costing more lives?
Meddling with the past...
Meddling to excess...
There's always a chance it can potentially reverse all the progress you've made so far.
Please give it some careful thought.
Above all else, try to weigh your feelings against what is at stake here.
Our focus, our true objective, is to save this world, our current world.
It is you, though, who must save the world of man.
