Code Vein II Trailer Spotlights Lyle

Bandai Namco released its latest character trailer for upcoming action RPG Code Vein II. The newest video introduces partner character Lyle McLeish. Lyle is known for his swordsmanship and is the ace Revenant of the Dawn Chorus, which is fighting to reclaim the Corroded Scar region. He is known to operate independently, having a reckless combat style. In-game, he is an evasion-focused attacker able to attack at multiple distances. His Override buff increases Attack Power for himself and the player until either one is hit, while his Link Trait grants Ichor for dodging enemy attacks.

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.
