Code Vein Launches New Boss Trailer Introducing “Invading Executioner”

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

The trailer introduces the Invading Executioner boss who utilizes her scythe for a swift attack with rhythmic precisions. To some, she might be pretty in her own dark way, but she is capable of harnessing the element of water to unleash devasting attacks that include both long and short-range patterns.

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.
