Code Vein, Bandai Namco's new RPG, launches this September

Bandai Namco today confirmed that Code Vein, the company's new unique hack-and-slash IP, will release in September.

Code Vein looks like a rather interesting game that melds J-RPG visuals with fast-paced dodge-and-slash action combat from a Dark Souls game. Internally described as a "dramatic dungeon-exploring action RPG," Code Vein features online co-op and will take players across a world riven with chaos and monstrosities. The combat itself will be blistering and fluid, and gamers will have a fair bit of exploration to tackle throughout their journeys.

Code Vein launches on September 28, 2018 for the PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Change the feel of the game depending on which partner you choose, each with their own combat style and background story.
