posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe began streaming a boss trailer for the Code Vein post-apocalyptic role-playing game on Wednesday. The video previews the game's bosses Cannoneer and Blade Bearer.
The game launched in Japan on Thursday, and will launch in North America and Europe on Friday for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Bandai Namco Entertainment announced in July 2018 that the game's release had been delayed to this year. The game was originally slated to launch in Japan in September 2018.
Bandai Namco Entertainment describes the game:
In the not too distant future, a mysterious disaster has brought collapse to the world as we know it. Towering skyscrapers, once symbols of prosperity, are now lifeless graves of humanity's past pierced by the Thorns of Judgment. At the center of the destruction lies a hidden society of Revenants called Vein. This final stronghold is where the remaining few fight to survive, blessed with Gifts of power in exchange for their memories and a thirst for blood. Give into the bloodlust fully and risk becoming one of the Lost, fiendish ghouls devoid of any remaining humanity.
The anime studio ufotable is animating the opening cinematic, and VAMPS are performing the opening song "Underworld."
Kotoni Shiroishi launched the CODE VEIN ‐Memory echoes- manga adaptation of the game in Kadokawa's Dengeki PlayStation magazine in June 2018.
