Bandai Namco has released several new screenshots of its upcoming vampire action-RPG Code Vein. Initially announced back in April, Code Vein puts players in the role of a Revenant, one blessed with ‘Gifts’ of power in exchange for their memories and a thirst for blood. Players are tasked with teaming up with other Revenants and going on a journey to unlock your past and “escape your living nightmare.” Giving in to the bloodlust will turn a Revenant into one of the Lost, entities not unlike the Hollows found in the Dark Souls series. Like the Code Vein screenshots released last week, the latest batch features companions Mia Karnstein and Yakumo Shinonome; Revenants that players can choose to fight alongside in the game.

The Revenants can be seen wielding various usable weapons, including a bayonet-tipped rifle, a long sword, and fist weapons. The images also depict some of the game’s environments; one being a desolate city, while the other is a spacious cavern. The latest Code Vein screenshots originated from the game’s Japanese website, all of which can be seen below:

Unite to Survive

• Featuring a story driven connected dungeon experience, dive into the world of CODE VEIN. Create your own character and choose your partner as you venture out into a world of destruction, overrun by the Lost. Use your combined strength to coordinate your approach and defend each other from surprise attacks or overpowered enemies using your Blood Veil and various weapons. Change the feel of the game depending on which partner you choose, each with their own combat style and background story.

Beneath the Veil

• Experience the power of blood as you use unique Blood Veils to drain your enemies to enhance your abilities. Using “Gifts” powered by enemy blood, players can increase their strength, weaken enemies, and utilize new weapon abilities and overpowered attacks.

Great Challenge Brings Greater Rewards

• Take on the Lost as you explore the malefic world of CODE VEIN. Choose from a myriad of weapons such as bayonets, axes and spears, to accommodate your favorite battle style. Apply strategy in your attacks through partnered coordination and Blood Veil enhancements, ready to bring down the most threatening enemies.
