Bandai Namco has announced that it will be holding a closed network test for action RPG Code Vein later this month. The network test will let those selected to participate create their own custom character, play through the first chapter of the game, and check out a dungeon in online co-op. The test will be run on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with those interested in taking part able to sign up here.

Code Vein is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a phenomenon called the Thorns of Judgment has laid waste to human civilisation. As a result of this phenomenon, surviving humans have gained supernatural abilities at the cost of severe bloodlust that can turn them into members of the mindless cannibalistic force wandering the world known as the Lost. The game was previously planned for a worldwide release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in September 2018, but was pushed back to 2019 to allow improvements to be made. In addition to announcing the network test, Bandai Namco released five new English screenshots for the game, viewable below.
