About two months ago, Bandai Namco announced that they would once again be publishing a Souls-like game, with an all-new IP, Code Vein. The game's twist on the formula appears to be that it is a Party-based Souls game, allowing players to choose a partner whose playstyle compliments their own. Anime Expo 2017 started yesterday in LA, and Bandai Namco released a new gameplay trailer further details the basics of combat.
Here's the trailer:
Here's the official description of the game courtesy of an official press release:
In the not too distant future, a mysterious disaster has brought collapse to the world as we know it. Towering skyscrapers, once symbols of prosperity, are now lifeless graves of humanity’s past pierced by the Thorns of Judgment. At the center of the destruction lies a hidden society of Revenants called Vein. This final stronghold is where the remaining few fight to survive, blessed with Gifts of power in exchange for their memories and a thirst for blood. Give into the bloodlust fully and risk becoming one of the Lost, fiendish ghouls devoid of any remaining humanity.
Code Vein releases on PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2018.
