Bandai Namco’s Code Vein has the potential to be something special when it releases next year, blending elements of the Dark Souls series with an anime style that definitely looks interesting. We recently got to take a look at the game’s in-depth character creation feature, and today we’re getting footage of boss fight gameplay.
The footage comes courtesy of IGN, with the video itself being part of the IGN First series that the site regularly runs. Throughout the boss fight we get to see a lot of blood and gore splatting around as two players try to take down the boss, and it looks like Dark Souls fans will be right at home with these kinds of encounters. Dodging out of the way of lethal attacks is a must, and the battle seems to be a test of endurance as many Dark Souls boss fights end up being. You can check the video out at the bottom of this post.
The following is an overview of the game’s plot:
“In the near future, the world suddenly met its ruin. The “thorns of judgment” mercilessly pierced through the earth’s crust, and the structures of mankind that were a symbol of prosperity now stand still like grave posts. There was a closed society called “Vein” where those known as “Revenants” barely managed to survive.
Revenants are those who abandoned being human in order to resist being destroyed. Although they lose the majority of their memories as compensation for their supernatural powers, they are able to barely maintain their humanity by sucking up blood. If their blood supply runs low, they lose their humanity and transform into a monster called a “Lost.”
In a closed world where countless Lost wander about, and a miasma that stimulates blood thirst is spread, together with your Revenant allies, the journey seeking blood and truth begins. Is there an exit from this world? Why where the Revenants born? Their desperate journey will eventually lead to a major secret that lies dormant in Vein.”
Code Vein does not currently have an exact release date, but it is currently scheduled to launch early next year for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Be sure to check out the new boss footage from the game below.
