Bandai Namco is making a sequel to the 2019 action RPG Code Vein. The sequel,
appropriately-named Code Vein II, is coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in
2026. The announcement was made during the Summer Game Fest kickoff stream.

The first one was a popular soulslike, and the sequel will probably follow
this winning formula. It received mixed reviews, but the dungeon-crawling
seemed solid and the difficulty wasn't over the top.

The graphics for Code Vein II look sharp and the story seems convoluted, but
fun. It looks to be carrying over some story beats from the first one. It's
still set in a post-apocalyptic future and still follows a protagonist with
vampire-like abilities. We'll have more on this one as it gets closer to the
actual release.
