Code Vein

Code Vein

Code Vein is a souls-like action RPG series from Bandai Namco that mixes challenging third-person combat, deep character customization, and a strong anime aesthetic. Players take on the role of Revenants (vampire-like beings created to fight catastrophic monsters) in a ruined post-apocalyptic world. A key feature is the companion/partner system that lets you fight alongside AI or online partners. The series emphasizes stylish combat, Blood Code builds, exploration of interconnected areas, and a dramatic story with heavy focus on memory, bloodlust, and survival. The original 2019 game was developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Shift (the God Eater team) and has sold over three million copies. The 2026 sequel expands the formula with time-travel elements and a new cast while keeping the core anime souls-like identity.
