Code Vein details emerge from Japan

In the latest issue of Famitsu, new information has emerged about the upcoming Bandai Namco action-RPG, Code Vein. From the article, we discovered more about how the game will play, and we also got to meet a new character, Nikola Karnstein. Here is everything that has been shared in the latest edition of the Japanese magazine:

New Character: Nikola Karnstein
A revenant traveling Vein with his older sister Mia. He will fight against any opponent if it's for his beloved sister.

New Blood Veil: Ivy
A Blood Veil in the form of a scarf. Its standard blood-sucking attack can hurt enemies at distance via countless thorns. As you parry enemy blows, your blood-sucking attacks will change. A skewered scarf can shoot out thorns that tear apart the enemy from the inside.

Growth Element: Haze
The experience points element of Code Vein's growth system. By using Haze, you can level up. Haze can be obtained by defeating enemies and using special items. If you are defeated by an enemy, your Haze becomes zero and the Haze you had on you will be left at the location you died. You can recover the Haze by returning to the place you died.

Growth Element: Blood Code
Equipment exclusive to the protagonist. Each revenant has a special blood type, and by recovering blood crystals, players can call upon the subject's memory and simultaneously obtain a "Blood Code." By equipping a Blood Code, a Gift that reflects the characteristics of the original owner becomes available. To recover blood crystals, special materials are required. Types of Blood Codes include the "Ranger," which stresses survival during exploration, the "Hunter," which specializes in long-distance attacks, the "Berserker," which specializes in short-distance attacks, and more.

Just a note to remind you that the game is expected to land around the beginning of 2018 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. And, before you go, check out our own interview with Keita Iizuka & Hiroshi Yoshimura below.
