A New Protagonist and the “Luna Rapacis” Threat

Set in a world where the line between human and Revenant continues to blur, Code Vein II follows a new protagonist known as the Revenant Hunter. Players are guided by Lou, a mysterious girl with the ability to manipulate time. Together, you will travel between eras to halt the planet’s descent into ruin.

The stakes have never been higher. A new threat known as the Luna Rapacis is driving Revenants into a blood-mad frenzy, transforming them into monstrous Horrors. In this dying world, rewriting fate is the only path to survival.

Gameplay Evolution: Time Manipulation and Blood Mechanics

Code Vein II introduces a dual-era narrative. Unlike the linear progression of the first game, your choices in the present will ripple into the past. Players will intervene in critical turning points for key characters, reshaping destinies to save humanity.

Enhanced Combat Systems

The combat system expands upon the original’s foundation with several key upgrades:

• Blood-Based Mechanics: Drain enemy blood to fuel devastating supernatural skills.
• Jail Weapons: Wield a new class of customizable weapons known as Jails.
• Deep Build Customization: A flexible new system allows for instant adjustments to your fighting style.
• Evolved Partner System: AI allies return with a “Deeper Bond” system, unlocking unique traits and story-specific combat enhancements.
