Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. released an official overview trailer for CODE VEIN II, showcasing its expanded combat and new Partner System. The trailer details character creation, Revenant combat, and post-apocalyptic environments. Launch is set for January 30, 2026, with pre-orders live on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

The trailer highlights a deeper combat system built around Drain Attacks to harvest Ichor, which fuels powerful Formae abilities. Players will use Jails, specialized back-worn artifacts, to alter stats and tactics. The new Restorative Offering mechanic lets partners revive a fallen player, but they become temporarily incapacitated, adding strategic risk to co-op play.

A free Character Creator Demo launches January 23, 2026, offering 64 save slots that transfer to the full game. The narrative follows Revenants exploring a collapsing world where they wield time as a weapon. This sequel builds on the first game's action-RPG foundation, focusing on player customization and dynamic companion interactions in a haunting, post-apocalyptic setting.
