CODE VEIN II Walkthrough Trailer Released, Character Creator Demo Dropping On January 22nd

Earlier today, Bandai Namco Entertainment released a walkthrough trailer for CODE VEIN II and announced a character creator demo launching on January 22nd. The trailer is embedded above, while more details about today’s news are included below:

The trailer takes players 100 years into the past, where the Revenant Hunter protagonist joins Josée Anjou on a mission to save the Sunken City and uncover the truth behind its crisis. Haunted by guilt, Josée’s story reveals the heavy burden she carries and the epic battles that await. The trailer introduces the Sunken Pylon, a vast dungeon that holds the key to purifying the Sunken City. As they explore, players will experience combat across seven distinct weapon types ranging from agile dual blades to the devastating power of the halberd. The trailer also further highlights the Restorative Offering, a mechanic where partners can restore the fallen Revenant Hunter with recovered health, though a cooldown leaves them temporarily incapacitated and unable to assist in battle.

Ahead of launch, players can dive into the CODE VEIN II Character Creator Demo starting on January 22, 2026. Offering 64 save slots that transfer directly into the final game, the Character Creator Demo allows players to experience the game’s deep customization system for the game’s protagonist, Revenant Hunter, where players can customize their characters to perfection with a vast array of settings for body type, hairstyle, facial expressions, accessories, makeup, and more. Players can also visit the hot spring at the MagMell Institute to view their character in different lighting environments and use Photo Mode to capture and save their creations.

CODE VEIN II features a deep 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. The player’s journey will span across haunting, post-apocalyptic landscapes, including the flooded ruins of the Sunken City, the Undead Forest, the isolated MagMell Island, and more. As the story unfolds, players will encounter legendary heroes, Revenants whose destinies intertwine with the world’s survival. The game also features distinctive gameplay for an action RPG, where players use blood drained from enemies to unlock a variety of powerful skills, build a strategy for combat with Blood codes, and use unique weapons and equipment called Jails to overcome challenging foes and epic bosses. 

CODE VEIN II launches on January 29th for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
