Code Vein II Introduces Josée Anjou

Bandai Namco released a new trailer for its upcoming action RPG Code Vein II. The one-minute video introduces a Revenant named Josée Anjou, which can partner with player character. Burdened by a past failure, she vowed to protect the last surviving humans who found shelter in the Sunken City. Josée wields a two-handed sword and excels at breaking enemy guards. She displays a high resistance to being disrupted while attacking and can summon pillars of fire that affect many foes.

Code Vein II will release on January 30, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. A follow-up to 2019 action RPG Code Vein, the game is set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity’s existence is hanging by a thread. The sudden emergence of a threat known as the Luna Rapacis has seen Revenants — humans with supernatural abilities that come at the cost of severe bloodlust — transformed into creatures called Horrors. It sees the player travel back 100 years to the past with the assistance of a mysterious girl called Lou MagMell to try and rewrite the fate of the world.
