The trailer offers fans a deeper look into the haunting world and the Revenants’ struggle against annihilation.

The World of CODE VEIN II

The trailer introduces the lore behind The Resurgence, a mysterious phenomenon that warped existence and gave rise to monstrous Horrors. Revenants once sealed it away, but catastrophic explosions around the sealing Cocoons now threaten humanity once again.

Players take on the role of the protagonist, tasked with shattering the seals and slaying The Resurgence’s Offspring before the world collapses. With companion Lou, the journey spans time, returning to the era of the Heroes who sacrificed themselves to save humanity.

New Characters and Partners

CODE VEIN II expands its cast of Revenants, each with unique personalities and abilities:

• Iris MagMell (voiced by Ai Kakuma): A Revenant from MagMell, supporting the protagonist with research and vampiric enhancements.
• Jadwiga (voiced by Sayaka Oohara): A mysterious merchant who enhances weapons and Jails, aided by her loyal Minions.

Players can choose partners to accompany them, deepening bonds through exploration, requests, and gifting items to unlock special rewards.
