Last month Bandai Namco announced Code Vein, an action role-playing game about blood-drinking revenants at the end of the world. Now we have the first gameplay trailer, and aside from the dynamic transformations, it has a very Souls series vibe.
“Get over here!”
Just because the Dark Souls series is over doesn’t mean we’ll never dodge in and out of battle with huge horrific beasts. We’ll just do it in games like Code Vein.
All I want to do, is see you turn into, a giant woman (giant woman).
Coming to home consoles in 2018, the game sees players travelling the wasteland of post-apocalyptic Earth, battling horrific beasts as they search for an escape from their blood-slurping existence. Before venturing forth, they will be able to recruit various NPC characters to fight by their side.
I’m getting a lot of Dark Souls here, mixed with a touch of Nier, though that might just be because I want every game to be more like Nier. How about you folks?

The God Eater roots are definitely showing, and it looks like there might be a revised form of the Thorns system from Freedom Wars in there too. It kind of looks like it might be a more multi-area style of monster hunting game like, well, Monster Hunter and Rangarok Odyssey rather than the single arena format of Shift’s previous games which would be a welcome change. Either way I’m super keen to see where this goes.
is there any gameplay footage? Impossible to get a feel for what the game is like.
Hold up, I thought Fury was in Darksiders 3, who are the those two meant to be?
Visual production has really gone down hill without Joe Madureira’s involvement.
