Code Vein 2 Seeks To Expand The Souls-like Genre Without Reinventing It
Briefly

Bandai Namco is set to release Code Vein 2, an expanded sequel to its 2019 title that combined Souls-like gameplay with anime aesthetics. Producer Keita Iizuka recognizes competition from highly praised titles like Elden Ring but sees it as an opportunity to innovate. The sequel features an open-world environment, new characters, and a separate narrative, moving away from the connections of the first game, much to the disappointment of some fans hoping for resolution of the original's cliffhanger.
Keita Iizuka asserts, "Yes, games like Elden Ring are very praised. But I like to consider those games our rivals," indicating the competitive landscape of souls-likes.
Iizuka emphasizes, "It is a new world, new characters, and a new story," confirming that Code Vein 2 will not continue the narrative from the first game.
