Code Vein Shows Off the “Halberd” Weapon in New Trailer

Bandai Namco launched a new weapon trailer for their dungeon-crawling RPG Code Vein, coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC-via Steam on September 27.

The trailer focuses on Halberd, a blade-type weapon with a long reach designed to slash and pierce enemies. The weapon allows for a balanced attack combination of quick and strong attacks and can easily go up against large groups of Lost.

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.
