No confirmed platform yet
Update: A ton of new high-quality images were released, but not significant new information, including platform information. The images are quite amazing though.
Scans posted onlinefrom Famitsu magazine reveal the first images ofCode Vein, Bandai Namco’snewly announced action role-playing gamethat features vampires. Although theteaser trailerwas beautiful in its own right,Code Veinwill be a 3D game with Gothic decor and anime-style characters.
With aDark Souls-teasing tagline, “Prepare to Dine,” from the team behind theGod Eaterseries, the art direction certainly looks like a clash of those two series. There is no confirmation on platforms, but we expect that to be announced in its official debut tomorrow, April 20.
Some additional information on gameplay and story was detailed on top of what we learned yesterday.Code Veinis set in the future where the world has fallen into ruin when “thorns of judgement” pierced the Earth. Revenants (vampires), survived and live in a closed society called Vein. Players explore Vein and attempt to uncover the origin of the Revenants, the Lost, and if their birth is connected to the world’s demise.
The AI Buddy, if you choose to employ one, will be able to support you in ways beyond just combat. Only with a Buddy can you use decoys for example. Also, the various types of weapons will differ in the way they attack like inDark Souls(this is my comparison, not an official one by Bandai Namco) as opposed to just a cosmetic difference.
I would have thoroughly enjoyed a whole game in the style of the initial teaser trailer, however unrealistic that may have been, but I’m also totally on board with this as well. I just hope it’s not a Vita exclusive.
