Code Vein II Character Creation Demo Is Live Ahead of Launch

Code Vein II, the new action RPG from publisher Bandai-Namco, has released a playable character creation demo on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Code Vein II is the sequel to 2019’s Code Vein, which melded Souls-like gameplay with anime-style graphics. Code Vein II was an honorable mention on my list of 26 games to play in 2026, and the No. 2 game on my top 5 games for January. The full version is set to launch on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on Jan. 30.
