Watch New Trailer For Code Vein, The Vampire RPG From Dark Souls Publisher

Following the game's official announcement last week, Bandai Namco today released a new trailer for the vampire RPG Code Vein. This newest trailer shows off the game's world and its art style. We also see combat and a brief look at how the companion mechanic will work.

Players can select a companion from the game world of Vein. There is an element of strategy to this, as choosing a companion who works well with your style of play will help you advance through the game.

In Code Vein, you play as a Revenant in a future world "full of vicious enemies and monstrous bosses." You can make use of Blood Veils, which extract the blood from enemies to boost the player's abilities.

"Players can change their form to increase their strength, weaken enemies, and utilize new weapon abilities with overpowered attacks," Bandai Namco said. "Utilizing the vast array of weaponry along with each character’s Gift, players can adapt and strategize to a variety of battle conditions that suit their play styles."

The game is being developed by Bandai Namco Studios, which also contributed to the God Eater series, and is scheduled to launch in 2018 for consoles.
