Bandai Namco at present introduced they plan to launch their anime-ish, Souls-tinged action-RPG Code Vein on September 28th. What makes Code Vein a Soulsbut? Well, it’s obtained swords for starters. Can’t get extra Dark Souls than swords. It obtained ruins, traditional Dark Souls factor proper there. Oh! You can use the swords to hit monsters–did I point out monsters?–which is perhaps probably the most Dark Souls factor of all. [Alright, that’s enough taking the piss. Snip! -ed.] Whew! Apologies for rambling there–872 phrases, actually Alice?–however sure, the post-apocalyptic, vampiric Soulsbut is coming in September. Here, watch a brand new trailer.
Oh proper, additionally it’s anime as heck. Ha ha goodness me.
To be clear, that is being made by Bandai Namco’s personal studios, not Souls creators From Software. I imply, clearly it’s not From Software. That stated, each time I’ve heard about somebody’s experiences taking part in preview variations, they examine it to Dark Souls. Which, yeah, clearly they’re borrowing a good bit, however to my eyes it’s lacking loads of what made Dark Souls distinctly Dark Souls somewhat than another action-RPG.
It’s not simply press drawing these comparisons, thoughts – Code Vein director Hiroshi Yoshimura talked about its Dark Souls inspirations with our company siblings VG247 final yr. He was additionally the director of God Eater, so there’s one thing to spherical out what you think about the sport to be.
Anyway. September 28th.
