Like A Revenant – Code Vein II Announced At Summer Game Fest 2025
It’s been a long time since Code Vein dropped in September 2019. The team has given us Scarlet Nexus in the meantime, but six years later, and seven if we go by the 2026 release date, Bandai Namco has announced Code Vein II, at Summer Game Fest 2025. The debut trailer introduces a post-apocalyptic world where the fate of the Revenants and humanity hangs by a thread. Dynamic soulslike action, intense boss battles, and even the ability to wield time itself as a weapon ala the Prince of Persia himself. Check out the trailer below.
Well, that distinct aesthetic is back, evident enough that I managed to clock this was Code Vein when the contraption on the lead character’s back was shown. we’ve got incredible future fashion. We’ve got a fantastic post-first game world, where the revenants have succumbed and become the monsters themselves, and a new breed of player is needed. We’ve got girls with candles where, let’s face it, their face should be. And brains, for that matter. And we’ve got steampunk, soulslike bosses, and action galore. Feast your eyes on a sequel most never thought was happening.
