On the occasion of the Golden Joystick Awards there is a new trailer for Bandai Namcos Code Vein. With a somewhat unusual choice of music, the ingeniously made trailer clearly leaves you wanting more. As if the waiting time didn't seem long enough. At least we still have to go up Early 2018 wait for Code Vein to appear. At Amazon, March 30th is the release date, but this has not been confirmed and probably the last day in the 1st quarter. Because the only official statement so far is: early 2018.

Code Vein - New food for Soulsborne fans

With this, the developers tension all Action RPG and Dark Souls Fans are tortured because Code Vein is considered the “next big thing” in the genre. The action-packed combat system that feels similar to Dark Souls 1, i.e. a bit slower and with real force behind the attacks, definitely puts the game in the genre.

A variety of different weapons with different fighting styles, light and heavy attacks, as well as the Blood magic the revenants ensure a tactical and complex combat system. The bosses in particular give the impression that it is important to wait for the right moment and to avoid all counter attacks first. Until there is an opportunity to attack.

The new feature with the computer-controlled Companions that accompany the player on his journey, Code Vein differentiates itself from the previously accustomed games. Depending on which companion is our companion, we get appropriate support. This varies from healings and resuscitations to fighting strong support against the lost who stand in our way. In one earlier articles we reported on Jack Rutherford and Eva Roux, two of the announced NPCs to ally with us.

Code Vein will be released in early 2018 for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. As always, you can find the trailer at the beginning of the article.
