Everything we know about Code Vein 2 so far

The Follow-Up To Your Favorite New Action RPG

CODE VEIN 2 is the intense new follow-up to CODE VEIN that’s coming to consoles and PC on January 30, 2026.

 

In this new adventure, you’ll return to a world of Revenants at the nexus of a stand-alone story that puts you at the center of a conflict between the present and the past.

 

 

Change the Future Together

The world is collapsing. A mysterious force known as the Luna Rapacis has turned all but a few Revenants into mindless Horrors that are spreading chaos throughout the land. Civilization is all but destroyed and humanity is at risk of extinction.

 

In the middle of this madness, two souls are united in a single desire to rewrite history. A Revenant Hunter and a mysterious Revenant girl called Lou are bound together by dire circumstances that unlock unspeakable powers in the Hunter.

 

As the Hunter, you’re tasked to return to the past and cut off the forces that created the cataclysm. To complete your mission, you’ll recruit Partners to travel with you and fight by your side against the Horrors.

 

Will the bonds you create be strong enough to turn back the tide of fate?

 

 

Create Your Own Battle Style As You Bond With Partners

As you delve into the past, you’ll meet characters like Joseé who can combine with you by offering their essence to be stored in a core in your back. 

 

This allows them to become a Partner who can fight by your side and share their powers with you.

 

If you choose to Summon a Partner, they’ll be facing your foes right along with you, and each Partner comes with their own strengths and abilities.

 

On the other hand, if you choose Assimilation, you’ll be able to take their power into your own hands, enhancing your stats and unleashing devastating attacks.

 

 

With your Partner’s support, you’ll reach new heights of strategic mastery and power. 

 

They allow the battle to become even more dynamic when you tag-team Horrors together, and their Assimilation abilities are high-impact options that let you switch it up on tough enemies.

 

These bonds are more than just tools of violence, these characters are key to your quest and they’ll be with you outside of combat as well. 

 

Learning about them and their story can help you change the fate of the world.

A Unique Take on a Challenging Combat Experience

CODE VEIN 2 expands the dynamic combat system further than before. The first game was well-known for its challenging combat against formidable and exciting enemies.

 

As you seek to save the future, you’ll drain ichor from your enemies and build up strength to unleash powerful new Forma attacks while you also use new skills, wield new weapons, and take advantage of new types of movement and range options.

 

The new Rune Blades and Dual swords join the weapon arsenal of one and two-handed swords, bayonets, halberds, and hammers, giving your hunter more melee possibilities. And of course, as before, you’ll be able to swap fluidly between styles to suit the moment.

 

Blood Veil attacks have returned as the new Jail equipment system. New attacks like Reaper and Bat increase the versatility of your tactical options. Practice with all of these new blood actions and weapons to perfect your placement, hone your knowledge of enemy movements, and exploit any battlefield that awaits you.

 

 

You’ll also unlock new Forma - abilities that come from your Revenant bonds - which can change a mere weapon attack into a blistering ranged attack, a debilitating status aliment, an impossibly powerful sword strike and more. 

 

One of the Forma that has been officially revealed is known as the “Absolute Execution Sword” - one of the bequeathed Forma. 

 

The gigantic sword it summons does devastating damage, although it can leave a sizable opening in your defense between swings.

 

Learn all of these new abilities and weapons to overcome a whole new array of terrifying bosses and enemies. It might be difficult, but the world is counting on you.

Mysteries Are Waiting in the Present and the Past

Due to the state of the world, the past is shrouded in obscurity, so while the Revenant Hunter explores the pre-cataclysm world you’ll learn more about the present and how it came to be so bleak.

 

One hundred years of history between Revenants and humans must be unraveled and examined through your relationships to other characters. It’s a sweeping epic of conflicting motivations that examines the appearance of the Luna Rapacis and its terrifying effects.

 

You might even learn more about Lavinia, the enigmatic woman who sends you on your quest into the past. Does she have any other motives? As of now, it’s hard to know.
