Code Vein 2 Unveiled for PS5, Xbox, and Steam, Launching 2026

Code Vein II has officially been announced at the Summer Game Fest, slated for a release in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. Fans of the first game can look forward to new action-packed gameplay featuring various boss enemies and a mix of elemental, physical, and vampiric attacks. The trailer highlights the game's dramatic cinematics and gothic aesthetics, reminiscent of the original—a vampire-themed souls-like game that carved out a dedicated fanbase upon its debut.

Code Vein II is scheduled to be released in 2026, although a specific date has yet to be announced.

Code Vein, the predecessor to Code Vein II, was noted for its unique blend of vampire lore and souls-like gameplay mechanics. Its launch introduced players to a richly designed world filled with challenging foes and deep narratives, carving its niche amidst a genre that had seen numerous entries during its release window. The familiar gothic atmosphere and character customization options were major attractions for players, setting the stage for the upcoming sequel to expand on its lore and gameplay innovations.
