Code Vein II Gives Center Stage to Valentin Voda

Bandai Namco revealed a new character trailer for its upcoming action RPG Code Vein II. The one-minute video introduces Valentin Voda, a man who was formerly in charge of the research efforts on Magmal Island. He sees his peers’ view on bloodline and ancestry as an antiquated practice, which he hopes to change.

A follow-up to 2019 action RPG Code Vein, Code Vein II 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. Code Vein II will release on January 30, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
