Dungeon Crawler Action-RPG ‘Code Vein’ Gets Western Release Date

Bandai Namco announced that their dungeon crawler action-RPG Code Vein will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC-via Steam on September 27.

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 from 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.

Additionally, a new trailer was released showing gameplay along with a story introduction to the game’s narrative. Players must become Revenants and research a way to escape this doomed world.
