Dungeon-Crawling RPG ‘Code Vein’ Reveals Free Demo Available Ahead of Launch

Bandai Namco revealed some new information for those who can’t wait to get their hands on their upcoming dungeon-crawling RPG Code Vein.

Beginning on September 3, players will be able to group together and experience the game in a free demo available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The demo will feature a small portion of the gameplay available in the final release, but this will definitely be enough to hold players off. To celebrate the reveal, the publisher released a new gameplay trailer showing story and characters.

Code Vein is an action-adventure game where players will be able to craft their own weapons and customize their experience by fine-tuning their character’s playstyle during the game’s dark and gritty narrative. We had the chance to play through the during the recent Network Test and saw that it definitely borrows some elements of Dark Souls, but it does enough to make itself stand out in the genre. The game focuses heavily on character growth and weapon customization as the player searches for Blood Beads in a post-apocalyptic world.

There’s also a partner that joins the player’s journey, but that doesn’t stop the game from being fairly difficult, which is something that fans seem to enjoy. The game also has a pretty interesting story that is revealed throughout exploration as well as an online co-op mode.

Code Vein is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC-via Steam on September 27.
