Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for the eagerly awaited sequel, *Code Vein 2*, highlighting the game’s principal companion, Lou MagMell. This enigmatic girl is pivotal to the storyline as she gives the protagonist half of her heart, forging an unbreakable connection that enables her to join the hero on a journey into the past. The trailer offers a peek into Lou’s backstory and presents brief glimpses into the gameplay.

*Code Vein 2* upholds the legacy of its predecessor by incorporating a companion system, where an NPC ally battles alongside the player. While the first game featured several companions, Lou is the sole one disclosed thus far for the sequel. Nonetheless, the game’s site affirms the existence of multiple partners.

While the gameplay mechanics remain consistent with the original *Code Vein*, the sequel unveils a new narrative set in a distinct world, unlinked to the initial game’s connections with the God Eater series. The story progresses in a future where humans and Revenants exist together. The sudden rise of Luna Rapacis has turned Revenants into mindless Horrors. Players step into the shoes of a Revenant hunter, responsible for thwarting the world’s downfall by journeying to the past with Lou, who possesses the ability to wield time manipulation.

*Code Vein 2* guarantees an extraordinary adventure filled with exploration, intense combat, and an enthralling tale that transcends time. The game is scheduled for release on January 30, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
