00:00Hello, and welcome to a gameplay presentation of Code Vein 2.

00:25I'm Dan Tack, a member of Bandai Namco Entertainment America, and today I'll be walking you through

00:30character creation, a taste of some of the characters you're going to meet along the

00:33way, exploration and the world, and an exciting look at the first major boss you'll face

00:39in the game.

00:40Without further ado, let's get into the action.

00:43So before we take you into the action proper, we've got to create a character.

00:47And Code Vein 2 features an extremely robust character creator suite of options.

00:52Right now we're looking at some of the presets that you can pick from, but you can create

00:55your character down to the last detail, eyes, hair, scars, all kinds of different things

01:00that you can tweak and design to your exact specifications.

01:04But if you feel like just picking one of the presets and getting right into the action, you

01:07can do that too.

01:08As you can see, we have all kinds of different hairstyles, all kinds of different options

01:12for you to pick from.

01:14And you can spend a lot of time in this character creator, I know I have, and you can get things

01:18just right.

01:19You can spend hours in here if you want.

01:22But you can also just take a preset.

01:24The presets are also awesome.

01:26And they come with some really cool outfits.

01:27But you can, again, it's not just setting your makeup.

01:30It's not just setting your eyes.

01:31You're going to be picking your outfit completely.

01:33Hats, accessories, masks, capes, whatever you want.

01:39You know, they're all here from the very serious to the very goofy options.

01:43They're all available for you, depending on what you want to do.

01:45I mean, look at these hats.

01:46I definitely want to go with, look at those ears.

01:49I want some of those.

01:50I'm getting a pair of those.

01:51So that's my character.

01:52But you can create yours however you like.

01:56As you can see here, it extends to full outfits that you can have too.

02:00I'm thinking you might spend a lot of time in here if you're one of those players that

02:03likes to really customize your character.

02:05And if you don't, that's what the presets are for.

02:07Just grab and go.

02:10Once you've got your character set up to look at, you can change all these other aspects

02:14of it too.

02:15Get the great screenshot.

02:16Share it with your friends.

02:17And we're getting right into it.

02:19Excellent.

02:20It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance at last.

02:23All right, then.

02:25I need you to wake up now.

02:40Ah, you've come too.

02:51As I feared, the memories may still take some time to return.

02:55Forgive me.

02:56I certainly didn't mean to startle you.

02:59My name is Lou Magmel.

03:02I am a revenant.

03:05Bear with me, for this may come as a shock.

03:09You have died once already.

03:25This is where I used a ritual to resurrect you.

03:29I gave half of my heart in order to restore yours.

03:36As a consequence, we now share the same heart, you and I.

03:41We are two lives intertwined as one.

03:48You seem well, all things considered.

03:54I'm glad.

04:01Do you think you can stand?

04:04There is someone that I'd very much like for you to meet.

04:14I know it's all new, but it's OK.

04:17You can trust me.

04:38And just like that, we are off to the races.

04:41This is Lou.

04:42Lou is the first character in the game we're going to meet,

04:44and a character that's one of our companions.

04:47You'll encounter many of these over the course of the game.

04:49Lou is a revenant who has a very, very special power in this game.

04:53In fact, the only revenant that can control time.

04:56So this will be very important as we move through the game,

04:59her special ability.

05:01And like all companions, Lou will also travel with you

05:03and fight with you.

05:06Each companion has special abilities that they bring to combat.

05:09And you can also assimilate your ally for some extra bonus powers,

05:12but we'll talk about that later.

05:17For now, we've just started the journey here in Magmel,

05:20and we're going to be heading out into the world.

05:21So this island of Magmel is sort of a tutorial area for the player to get used to things

05:34before heading out into the greater world.

05:37So we'll get a taste of the action here.

05:40And you see we just picked up some flour there.

05:45You can find all kinds of useful consumables in the world

05:48that you can use to craft helpful tools and items.

05:50So obviously things like flour and other food items will help us make some tasty treats

05:55that might give us some bonuses, buffs, or healing.

06:20Another world snuffed from existence.

06:50Luckily the residents were all evacuated in time thanks in no small part

07:11to your efforts.

07:13My name is Lavinia Roda.

07:18It is I who carries on the great Idris's mission and legacy.

07:25It is you, though, who must save the world of man.

07:33So Lavinia and Lu are basically going to be your companions here at the beginning here

07:37to get you through the concept of we're going to travel to the past to save the present, essentially.

07:43It's a it's a Code of Vein 2 hinges on time travel as a huge element of it.

07:48So basically, we're going to go to the past to save the future, more or less.

07:53So that's very important here in establishing the plot.

07:57We've now entered a ruins area, which is sort of an introductory dungeon area.

08:02And here you're getting a quick taste of the combat.

08:05We're getting some blocking, some rolling.

08:08You can see these little slashes accumulate on the on the enemies there.

08:11Those are bleeds.

08:13And we can we can capitalize on that by by attacking with the jail item, which will give us I-Core,

08:20which is the resource we're going to be using to facilitate our special attacks and special abilities.

08:26So it's very important in the pace of combat to, you know, put some slashes on the enemy

08:30and then essentially acquire them to keep your your pool of resources high.

08:36With this introductory sword, we've got this nice little, as you can see, sort of a dash lunge attack,

08:41which can help us close the distance to enemies very quickly, get in and out of combat easily.

08:46It's a very useful introductory move that you'll have on your starting blade.

08:49As you can see, we're maneuvering around the enemy here, getting behind them, executing a nice little stagger and a crit attack.

08:59Those are going to do tons of damage.

09:01Great way to take out opponents.

09:04As you can see, in this smaller dungeon, there's still plenty of little items to find.

09:08Consumables and more important items as well.

09:11We're swapping here to a different weapon.

09:20So here we have the Statesman's Longbow.

09:22This is an awesome way to do damage at range and also fire at targets across that are too far for you to hit.

09:28This does consume the I-Core resource,

09:30so you'll have to be replenishing your supplies of that as you move through the game.

09:33This is actually in a side category of item called Bequeathed Forme.

09:40And there are different things that you can put in this slot other than the bow,

09:43but those are going to be kind of a surprise, so we're not going to tell you what the other ones are.

09:48But you'll see the bow used here.

09:50We can use it to take out this target at range.

09:54Like so.

09:55And this is actually a very important map object that we've just destroyed,

10:00and it will unlock large chunks of the map for you to see in the overworld.

10:03And now we're going to skip ahead a little bit into the next section of the ruins.

10:08We're a bit deeper in into this introductory dungeon down below.

10:16And we have swapped weapons to the Bayonet.

10:18This is an interesting weapon archetype in the game.

10:21You'll find different varieties of this.

10:22It does allow for both ranged and melee combat.

10:26So you'll need ammunition to do the ranged,

10:28but it's got quite an interesting moveset, as you can see, in melee range as well.

10:32So this is a really cool sort of versatile play style that you can employ if you like bayonets.

10:42It's pretty useful here in this area here as we're, you know, trying to navigate these narrow corridors

10:47and two ranged enemies that are shooting us from afar.

10:50So the bayonet will let us shoot back, as well as get in their face.

10:58So depending on how you like to play, the bayonet might be a great option.

11:01There's multiple options for you to check out as you go through the game.

11:05Different archetypes.

11:05Of course, the bayonets, again, they do need ammunition, so we might have to reload here soon.

11:16As you can see there.

11:19And as you can see, Noah, our companion Noah, is talking to us right now, but you don't see him on the screen.

11:24That's because he's currently assimilated.

11:25So in this game, you're going to have a partner or a companion, but you can choose whether that companion is active and out on the field,

11:33or you're basically assimilating them to tap into their powers.

11:38So we're getting some bonuses, as you can see reflected at the bottom of the screen, of being buffed by Noah right now,

11:44even though he's not out on the field.

11:47So if you like to play solo, or if you like to play with a companion, you can fit the playstyle to that.

11:53And now we've moved a little further along in the ruins, we're using the runic blades.

11:57Quite an unusual weapon, as you can see, sort of hovering behind us.

12:01It's a very unique playstyle, and very different than a lot of the other melee weapons in the game.

12:07And as you can see, the bow can come in handy in combat, as well, with a quick flip.

12:16And we're going in there.

12:20There we go.

12:25And yeah, in these ruins again, lots of little things to pick up as you go through.

12:30So here we are.

12:31Now we're heading to the first major boss of the game.

12:34And as you can see, we've got our partner Noah with us to help on this fight.

12:38He'll be trying to take some of the boss's attention, doing some damage.

12:42Every partner has their own special abilities and attacks that they bring to the table.

12:45It's really handy to have during these big boss battles.

12:49But of course, you're still going to have to be doing quite a bit of dodging, blocking, getting in there, and learning the boss moveset as well.

12:58You can see we've accumulated quite a few bleeds on the dejected assailant here.

13:03So once you've got an enemy nice and bleeding like that, you know, you can capitalize on that with the jail item, which we haven't talked about a whole lot.

13:12This is an auxiliary weapon type, and it comes in different forms.

13:15So you'll probably see one of them coming up here as we capitalize on what we've done to him.

13:25Getting some heals in.

13:26And of course, you're going to want to keep your I-Core high so you can continue to use your special abilities and powers, which will make a big impact in fights like this.

13:39You can see we've got a stagger on there.

13:40Now we're going to execute an attack with our jail.

13:42It gives you an AoE attack, sort of a cone attack in front of you.

13:46And of course, you'll crit with the jail as well anytime you've staggered an opponent.

13:50So here we're moving into phase two.

13:53As you can see, our boss has kind of lost his head.

13:54There was a cinematic here involved with the phase two transition, but we're keeping that out so we can keep it a surprise later.

14:02But with that, he's gained new abilities as he's now holding his head, and he has a whole new moveset due to that.

14:09You'll see here we're getting in there with that slash.

14:10The starter sword only has one special attack, but it's still very useful.

14:13Here we're charging up our jail.

14:14Look at that.

14:15Getting in with the jail, the jail can attack by itself as well.

14:17So a nice little spinny scythe attack there with the Reaper jail.

14:21And the jails come in different flavors, so depending on your playstyle, you'll pick one that fits the situation.

14:29Got the boss back in the corner here, doing some really, really great damage.

14:32Of course, with his head now on his arm, he's got all kinds of different attacks, including head lasers, which you never want to mess with.

14:45Ooh.

14:47This isn't looking very good, huh?

14:48Oh, well, that was a really good attempt.

14:58Didn't quite make it.
