Bandai Namco Reveals Code Vein, God Eater Team’s New Action RPG With a Touch of Dark Souls
Bandai Namco recently teased a new game and those of you who got vibes of Dark Souls and God Eater from it weren’t too far off, as the game has been announced in this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine as Code Vein, a dungeon-exploring action RPG.
Code Vein is a completely new title by Bandai Namco. It is described as a dungeon exploring-type hard action RPG. Players take on the role of “Revenants,” vampires with supernatural abilities, and team up with allies to seek out the truth of the world.
The Revenants are part of an isolated company called “Vein” that helps them survive. While the Revenants are beings that transcend human beings, they’ve lost most of their memories. When Revenants face blood deficiency, they transform into monsters called “Lost.”
The main characteristic of Code Vein is “Buddy.” This allows you to take one partner while exploring dungeons.
Revenants mostly use great swords, single-handed swords, and other close-ranged weapons as their go-to in battle. There are also other weapon types such as spears and hammers.
Here are some key words:
Blood Veil – The Blood Veil is an equipment unique tot he Revenant, used to [粗俗词语过滤-#0003] up blood from the Lost. While in use, it appears in the form of clothing, and also functions as armor. While in use to Su ck up blood, it uses a mechanism for the purpose, and we see a change in the user’s mask as well.
Special Ability: Blood Smelting – This action becomes possible after acquiring blood from the Lost after successfully Su cking up their blood using Blood Veil. This allows you to power yourself up, debuff enemies, do direct attacks, and other uses.
Staff includes Keita Iizuka as the producer, Hiroshi Yoshimura as the director, and Yusuke Tomizawa as the project leader.
Its development is currently 35% complete and we’ll see a new trailer for the game in the near future.
First look at Code Vein, Bandai Namco’s new action RPG
The Unreal Engine 4 action RPG from Bandai Namco's God Eater team.
The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu is now available, providing our first look at Code Vein, the new Unreal Engine 4 action RPG from Bandai Namco led by key God Eater staff Keita Iizuka (producer), Hiroshi Yoshimura (director), and Yusuke Tomizawa (team leader).
Code Vein is set in the near future, where the earth’s crust was pierced by the “thorns of judgment” and everything fell to ruin. The setting of the game is “Vein,” a closed society where a people known as “Revenants” just barely managed to survive.
Although Revenants possess supernatural powers, it came at the price of losing the majority of their memory. When low on blood, a Revenant’s humanity will decay, and since that would result in them turning into a monster called a “Lost,” they must continue to [粗俗词语过滤-#0003] up blood.
The player will become a member of the Revenants, and while working together with allies, explore the world of Vein where countless Losts of all types, big and small, wander about. In doing so, players will draw near the full story behind the birth of the Revenants and the mysteries of Vein itself, a city fallen to ruin by the thorns of judgment. Will the cause of the ruin be connected to the birth of the Revenants? What is the truth that awaits them on this desperate journey?
One of the biggest features of Code Vein is the existence of a “Buddy.” When exploring Vein, you can take along a single Buddy. By sharing the sense of accomplishment of defeating strong enemies and overcoming the point of death, that feeling evolves into something special. You’ll witness Vein’s variety of faces—from mountainous regions enclosed by ice to caves and underground shopping areas—as you travel alongside your Buddy. There will even be dark areas full of dangers. Pay attention for the Losts lurking in the darkness of these aras while relying on the little amount of light you have available. Having a Buddy enables you to use tactics such as setting a decoy. Other than the sense of security a Buddy offers, they also come with great merit.
Revenants will have access to a variety of weapon types. These are mainly close combat weapons such as great words and one-handed swords. But since the attack action is different depending on the type of weapon, you can choose a weapon that fits your style.
Blood Veils are Revenant-original equipment that [粗俗词语过滤-#0003] up the blood of Losts. It usually takes on the form of clothing, and although it has aspects of armor, it has an exclusive mechanism that appears during blood [粗俗词语过滤-#0003]ing. Additionally, it transforms the mask of the user into a more violent form. The blood of the Losts obtained through the blood [粗俗词语过滤-#0003]ing mechanism of a Blood Veil is transported into the user’s mouth through a pipe in the equipment. There are several types of Blood Veils, and you’ll be able to play out a variety of tactics by combining them with your weapons.
One kind of Blood Veil forms sinister claws shaped like gauntlets on the user’s right hand. It has short reach, but can [粗俗词语过滤-#0003] up blood fast in close combat. Once the Blood Veil develops on the right hand, the user’s mask also starts to transform, covering half of their face with a blood [粗俗词语过滤-#0003]ing mask. By piercing your right hand into the enemy, you can [粗俗词语过滤-#0003] up their blood. The method of blood [粗俗词语过滤-#0003]ing is unknown for this type of Blood Veil, but it may be that there is a mechanism in the palm or arm.
Screenshots in the magazine show another type of tailed Blood Veil. A girl is pictured activating it, her eyes shining red when doing so, and her mask changing shape before piercing enemies from a distance.
Tempered Blood is Revenant-exclusive technique. After successfully landing a blood [粗俗词语过滤-#0003]ing attack, you an activate this action using the blood obtained from Losts. Tempered Blood offers an abundance of effect variations, including strengthening yourself, weakening enemies, and direct attacks. Figuring out how to successfully land blood [粗俗词语过滤-#0003]ing attacks and when to use Tempered Blood in battles against Losts are key to exploring Vein and clearing dungeons.
One example of Tempered Blood is as follows: a large amount of blood shoots out of the ground like pillars and attacks the enemy. This is an effective technique when facing several opponents. And given that a Revenant’s weapons are generally meant for close combat, this is a useful way to strike from a distance.
Development on Code Vein is currently 35 percent complete. The game is due out worldwide for unannounced platform(s) in 2018. An official announcement will be made tomorrow, April 20, across Bandai Namco’s western and Japanese divisions.
Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe today announces Code Vein for release on major home consoles in 2018. Feast on the blood of enemies through a journey across a massive interconnected world to unlock its mysterious sanguine past in this gruelling action-RPG.
In the not too distant future, a mysterious disaster has brought collapse to the world, as we know it. Towering skyscrapers, once symbols of prosperity, are now lifeless graves of humanity’s past pierced by the Thorns of Judgment. At the centre of the destruction lies a hidden society of Revenants called Vein. This final stronghold is where the remaining few fight to survive, blessed with Gifts of power in exchange for their memories and a thirst for blood. Give into the bloodlust fully and risk becoming one of the Lost, fiendish ghouls devoid of any remaining humanity.
In this challenging action-RPG, Code Vein finds players assuming the role of a Revenant. After stumbling into Vein, players are tasked to embark into the world with a companion picked from the various residents of Vein to uncover lost memories and an exit out of this new demented reality. The world of Code Vein is dangerous, full of vicious enemies and monstrous bosses to put players’ combat skills to the test.
Revenants also have access to Blood Veils, devices capable of draining the blood of their enemies in order to enhance their own abilities. Exploiting these enhanced abilities known as Gifts, players can change their form to increase their strength, weaken enemies, and utilise new weapon abilities with overpowered attacks. Utilising the vast array of weaponry along with each character’s Gift, players can adapt and strategize to a variety of battle conditions that suit their play styles.作者: kirassss 时间: 2017-4-26 04:16 PM
Code Vein has character customization, large variety of fields
BNEI 全新戏剧性探索动作 RPG《CODE VEIN》最新情报玩家角色可自定义 育成自由度高
BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment 全新企画《CODE VEIN》本作尚未公布将会推出在哪一平台上,但主打是一款「戏剧性探索动作角色扮演游戏」,预定在 2018 年内推出。在本周电击 PS 杂志上的制作人访谈中公开新情报,整理的要点内容如下,游戏目前平台未定,海外宣传的是PS4 和 Xbox One。
The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation has new details on Code Vein, Bandai Namco’s new action RPG from its God Eater team.
Here are the new details, via a developer interview in the magazine:
The game is set in a world where time has passed after it was destroyed by a certain cause. Now, modern society is made up of adjoining lands.
Your purpose as a Revenant is to survive. As you fight, you will get closer to the truth of the world.
(Presumably referring to the screenshots that have been released…) The protagonist is the short-haired man, and the red-haired man and the woman wearing the Russian hat are NPCs.
The player character can be freely customized. Gender can also be set. A wide range of customization is possible, allowing you to make a heroic and cool-looking character.
The game will feature growth elements with a very high degree of freedom, allowing you to develop your character in a way that matches your play style.
Rather than progress by clearing stages, you’ll explore the world of adjoining lands on your own feet.
There are a large variety of fields. Each area has enemies with different characteristics, as well as area-specific mechanics. The volume should be satisfying.
Even if your Buddy character dies, you can continue exploring. You can also explore on your own without bringing along a Buddy.
The concept of “death” does not exist. Even if you’re out of action, if time passes, you can become active again (retry again from a checkpoint).
They’re re not trying to put difficulty at the forefront, but there will be challenges.

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment 制作,主打「戏剧性探索动作角色扮演游戏」的全新 IP 游戏《CODE VEIN》确定本作的推出平台将是 PS4 / Xbox One / PC STEAM。今天官方公开了基本攻击演示影像,据监督吉村广所言,这次公开视频中所演示的动作,较 5 月公开的第一弹宣传片,有不少根据玩家意见进行修改的地方。
Bandai Namco has released the first-ever gameplay video of Code Vein, its upcoming action RPG from its God Eater staff.
In Code Vein, you can choose from among weapons such as swords, bayonets, and halberds, each of which can perform unique actions, based on your own personal play style. Today’s gameplay video introduces some of those unique actions in the form of basic attacks.
Code Vein is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC worldwide in early 2018.作者: kirassss 时间: 2017-6-17 07:31 AM Code Vein won’t break the player’s spirit, says director
Following the release of a new gameplay video this week, Dengeki Online spoke with Code Vein producer Keita Iizuka and director Hiroshi Yoshimura, who shared new information about the upcoming action RPG.
Get the tidbits below.
Are you developing the game identically across all three platforms and both in Japan and around the world?
We’re planning to develop the game the same everywhere including Japan. We also also aiming to release the game on the same date worldwide.
When you decided the game’s genre and gameplay, did you look at western development and proceed with a global mindset?
Code Vein is a new challenge for us, and so including Japan we want to make a game that will excite and be enjoyed by players around the world. Moreover, we took the recent game market into account and thought we should make a title that will launch us into worldwide recognition.
Is there any part of the game that you adjusted with regard to a global audience?
I don’t think there is a difference between western and Japanese gamers when it comes to the nature of dungeon crawling RPGs and their experience with them. And so based on that, we will make final adjustments for the overall direction based on a single standard. Also, this will be a game truly worth playing, but on the other hand, we are bearing in mind not to break the player’s spirit. I think there’s a difference between players based on region when it comes to motivation upon having to retry a section, but we are working hard to make it enjoyable by everyone without breaking their spirit. One way to preserve player motivation is the buddy system. The buddies that accompany you each have unique special abilities that alter your play style, and there are many options to perform trial and error with.
Can we expect dramatic story progression and personable characters?
In God Eater, you gained affection from characters by fighting together, but in Code Vein we have evolved a part of that concept. While taking a long time venturing into unexplored territory, your buddies will react to various things that occur. For example, if the player is felled, your buddies will come running to help and vice versa. Different from the relationships you raise while fighting, I think we can make more emotional relationships.
Any hints about characters that will appear in the game?
Characters with various upbringings as vampires will appear. Depending on the time and situation you’ll progress together with some and also separate. Also, although they are all Revenants they have a variety of different standpoints, and through interacting with them there are different types of bonds you can form which is new I think.
You released a video introducing the action (combat), but will you continue to adjust the action (combat) and effects?
Of course. The video we released showed the current progress we’ve made thus far. We will continue to make adjustments until the end of development.
In the video the blood spraying was impressive, but does that have an effect on the gameplay systematically?
We’re preparing other original components in addition to the previously announced Blood Veil. Please look forward to our follow up report.
How will you acquire weapons?
You can pick them up in dungeons, but we are putting an emphasis on acquiring them via enemy drops.
Will the explorable area be open-world or divided areas that you travel between?
It’s difficult to define “open world” but, all the fields are connected and can be traveled on foot.
Will similar areas repeat and become monotonous such as underground?
We’re aiming to make locations you won’t grow tired of, such as natural caverns and ancient ruins.

Yakumo Shinonome (voiced by Kousuke Toriumi)

Code Vein details basic actions, Mia Karnstein and Yakumo Shinonome, Hounds Blood Veil, more
Bandai Namco has released new information and screenshots of Code Vein, detailing basic actions, characters Mia Karnstein and Yakumo Shinonome, the “Hounds” Blood Veil, battles against fierce Lost, and two dungeons.
Get the details below.
■ Basic Actions
Basic Attacks Using Weapons
Depending on the category of weapon you equip, your reach and actions will differ. That is the foundation of battle in Code Vein. Switching up your weapon based on the battle situation is also important.
Su cking Up Blood Using Blood Veils
[粗俗词语过滤-#0003]ing up blood is required to activate a Gift. There is generally a large window of opportunity, and suitable practice is required to understand the characteristics of the Blood Veil and the enemy’s behavior. (This Blood Veil is called “Ogre.”)
Special Attacks Using Gifts
Through Gifts, you can activate various effects such as luring enemies with with long distance attacks, attacks that strike a vast range, and strenghtening your defensive capacity. The type of Gifts you equip and the timing at which you use them are the key to victory.
—Gifts can be used to strengthen the invoker’s defensive capacity. This is particularly effective when fighting against Lost that deal powerful blows.
—This Gift enables a vast range, frontward attack. It is useful when taking on multiple enemies at once.
—This Gift enhances movement ability for a fixed period of time. It changes the evasion motion and allows the invoker to move long distances quickly.
■ Characters
Mia Karnstein (voiced by Ai Kayano)
A wandering female Revenant wandering in the land called “Vein.” She is accompanied by her younger brother, the only family she has left, whom she will do anything to protect. What kind of fate awaits for the older sister and younger brother risking their lives to survive in a heartless and cruel world?
In battle, Mia uses a bayonet-styled weapon that can be used to attack at a distance, and a scorpion tail-like Blood Veil called “Stinger” with long reach. She specializes at hit and away combat. Her steady fighting style will help the protagonist in various situations during exploration.
Yakumo Shinonome (voiced by Kousuke Toriumi)
A Revenant and former mercenary. He is loved by other Revenants like an older brother due to his strong sense of duty and taking care of others. He conducts himself in a cool and professional manner during combat. Does the color of sadness come to his eyes when looking at the remains of the Lost after battle due to it being another lost bretheren?
In battle, Yakumo, who wields a large, two-handed sword and wears a wolf heads-like Blood Veil called “Hounds,” specializes in powerful battle in accordance with his appearance. He is particularly reliable during encounters against tough, formidable enemies during exploration.
■ New Blood Veil: Hounds
“Hounds” is the Blood Veil used by Yakumo. It transforms the sleeves of the jacket worn over his shoulder to reveal a twin wolf heads. It is an offensive Blood Veil that attaches the fangs of its wolf heads to the enemy to eat away at its blood. It has short reach, but attacks at a vast range, and since it performs actions quickly, it is powerful to wield at close range.
■ Fierce Battles Against Enemies
Here is a monstrous Lost with wings like six flower petals and a tail like a beast’s head. Defeating it will prove difficult if you cannot find out how to deal with its attacks while whirling through the air.
Here is a fierce battle against a huge Lost who wields a hammer. There is no resistance when receieving blows from its large body. Figuring out how to evade its attacks in cooperation with your Buddy is the key to victory.
■ Dungeon Introductions
The Streets of the Ruined City
The ruined streets, where the giant “thorns of judgment” pierced through. There are a lot of blind spots due to the debris caused by the structural arrangement and collapse of buildings. Be on alert for surprise attacks and hidden items while exploring.
The Underground Domain of the Ruined City
A wide space is spread out beneath the ruined city. It is a dungeon with caves covered in rocks and limestone caverns, and underground levels of structures such as buildings. It is generally dim, so be on alert as to what is ahead while exploring.

The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has new information on Code Vein, including the reveal of two new characters and additional system details.
Get the information below.
Characters
Rui (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa) – A young leader who researches day and night to save the Revenants.
Io (voiced by Lynn) – A Revenant who becomes close with the protagonist. She has lost all of her memories, but has plenty of knowledge about Revenants and Vein. She seems to be the spitting image of God Eater character Shio.
Character Creation
In Code Vein, players will create their own character to act as the protagonist. Players will be able to select from the lead actors of various different works as the voice of their character, as well as be able to customize even minor details such as their character’s facial outlines, and pupil size and luster.
System
Characters can equip up to two types of weapons, which can be switched between without opening the menu.
Equipment itself can be changed any time by bringing up the menu.
Characters will level up by gaining experience points, and their stats will increase.
The user interface is simple and small.
There is a “Special Blood [粗俗词语过滤-#0003]ing” command that can be triggered under certain conditions, which increases the amount of gathered blood and stock, and significantly increases the amount of damage dealt to the enemy.
There is a “Focus System” through which a dedicated gauge builds up when the player in a pinch, and powers up the player when triggered.
Players can cooperate, coordinate, and transfer HP with their Buddy character.
The game will have actions such as launch-into-combo attacks, back attacks, and parries.

Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe reveals today new screenshots about the upcoming action title Code Vein. The new assets highlight more details about the battle system, the character creation tool and 2 new characters.
Battle system of Code Vein is varied and offers a lot of possibilities for players:
For example the Gift system allows them to use up to 8 gifts during battles to temporarily increase attacks or defense actions. Some other gifts are passive and they are gained with specific items or equipment.
With the Stamina Gauge, players will be able to manage all of their actions including attacks, evading, dashing and Drain. This is crucial to control their actions and they will need to be very attentive to the stamina gauge to survive in Code Vein. With a successful Drain action, the number of Ichor points will be increased as well as the maximum number of Ichor stock. A Special Drain, performed under special conditions, will not only increase the number of Ichor and the stock but also cause a massive damage to enemies. The Special Drain action will be possible after a successful parry with the same timing as the enemy’s attack, a successful attack from the back or a combo attack.
Player character abilities are temporarily increased with the Focus System during battles when they are receiving or dodging an attack and when they are surrounding by multiple enemies. This system allows players to fight back in extreme situations and get power boost when they decide to intentionally place themselves in danger. They can for example negate an attack, increase their own attack and throw enemies in the air!
The Partner Action will also help players during fights. Companions will support them by attacking from the side, enhancing the skills and sharing Health Points when it’s needed.
The new assets of the day reveal also more details about new characters and the Character Creation where players will be able to create their own protagonist from the gender, body and hair styles to the voice of the character.

作者: kirassss 时间: 2017-9-14 03:55 PM Code Vein further details battle system
Following initial details last week, Bandai Namco has released further information and screenshots of the battle system in Code Vein.
Get the details below.
■ Characters
Protagonist
One of the remaining Revenants in the closed society of “Vein.” While wandering around Vein in order to survive while fighting against their bloodlust, they will encounter and work together with comrades in similar circumstances.
Character Creation
Through character creation, you can create a player character all your own by choosing features such as gender, physique, hairstyle, voice, and more. You can even customize your eye color and glow shape, facial scars, face paint, and more.
Louis (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa)
A young leader who continues his research in order to help Revenants suffering from bloodlust. In order to widely distribute the “Blood Beads” that are a substitute for human blood, he ventures into the isolated land of Vein in search of its source.
In battle, Louis uses a one-handed sword that enables swift attacks and has short reach, but can elude with his “Ogre” type Blood Veil. Even while attacking, he will use Gifts to strengthen the player and himself, and support in exploration.
Io (voiced by Lynn)
A female Revenant who explores with the protagonist. She has lost all memory of her past, but has a wealth of knowledge about Revenant abilities and Vein very well. Her advice will accurately guide the protagonist.
■ Battle System
Stamina Gauge
Whether you’re attacking, evading, dashing, or [粗俗词语过滤-#0003]ing blood, every action consumes Stamina. Your Stamina will recover when you’re not using an action that consumes the Stamina Gauge. Stamina management is very important, as it is the foundation of using actions in Code Vein.
Drain Action
—Drain
A Drain attack can be activated with the press of a button. If you successfully Drain the enemy and acquire a large amount of Ichor Points, the maximum amount of Ichor Stock will also increase.
Here is a look at the Blood Veil Ogre’s Drain action. Once the pool is maxed out, the character steps towards the enemy and slashes them with their claws. The Ichor Stock also increased from 10 to 12.
—Special Drain
A Special Drain is a Drain attack that can be triggered under specific conditions. It acquires more Ichor Points than a standard Drain, increases the maximum number of Ichor Stock, and simultaneously hits the enemy with big damage.
Special Drain Trigger Conditions
—When You Successfully Parry an Attack
A counter action triggered to match the enemy’s attack. Timing is critical, but the reward for success is grand.
—When Performing a Successful Back Attack
When you attack an enemy from the back. Follow the enemy’s movements and look for an opening.
—A Combo from a Launch Attack
It is important to figure out how to land launch attacks, which are only triggered under certain conditions.
Gift System
By holding down the Gift button (R2 is the default), a palette will be displayed. A maximum of eight Gifts can be used in battle. When the palette is displayed, a Gift can be triggered by pressing its corresponding button. The red icon signifies the Gift that is in use. In addition to Gifts that can be used in battle, there are also passive-type Gifts that are activated by simply equipping them.
Here is a look at a Gift that significantly reduces the amount of damage you take from a single enemy attack.
Focus System
The Focus System temporarily increases the player’s abilities when they are in danger. In addition to being able to launch a counterattack when the enemy drives you into a corner, you can also use this system to intentionally increase your abilities in battle by purposely taking risks.
Actions that increase the Focus Gauge include:
Receiving enemy attacks
Dodging enemy attacks
Focus State effects include:
Less likely to take recoil from the enemy’s attacks
The ability to launch enemies
A fully recovered Stamina Gauge (when Focus State activates)
—As a critical situation keeps up, your Focus Gauge will rise until you enter the Focus State.
—Using the special effects temporarily bestowed upon you, launch your counterattack.
■ Partner Actions
When guarding, your Partner will rush to you and guard alongside you. Cooperating with your Partner will offer various forms of support.
—A partner character distributes their HP to the player, who is on the verge of death.
image:
■ Partner Action: Co-Op Gift
Co-Op Gifts are special Gifts that can be activated with a Partner when they are nearby. By activating a Co-Op Gift, you can temporarily increase your strength, but depending on the effect, it may decrease the maximum number of Ichor Stock as compension. The effect of Co-Op Gifts vary for each Partner.

Code Vein further details Ivy Blood Veil, Blood Codes, Ridge of Frozen Souls, more
Following preliminary details last week, Bandai Namco has released more information on Code Vein‘s new Blood Veil, “Ivy,” Blood Codes, “Ridge of Frozen Souls” location, and more.
Get the details below.
■ New Blood Veil: Ivy
A Blood Veil that takes the form of a scarf that extends from the user’s shoulders. When attacking, it transforms into numerous thorns that pierce the enemy. It can also attack enemies at a distance. It is one of the more lightweight Blood Veils, allowing the user to fight battles with speed.
—The standard Drain attack. The Blood Veil transforms into thorns and can pierce even distanced enemies from through the ground.
—Drain attacks that follow parries, etc. can skewer the enemy and further tear them to pieces from their insides.
—The Ivy Blood Veil is characterized by its scarf-like appearance that extends over the backs of the shoulders. Eva Roux also uses the Ivy Blood Veil.
■ The Traits of Each Blood Veil
The “Ogre” Blood Veil has short reach, but is very effective when you get in close to the enemy. “Hounds” is a high-in-attack-power Blood Veil that can attack at a vast range ahead of the user. And the “Stinger” Blood Veil has a lengthy build-up time, but can attack enemies at a distance. The Drain actions available to the player change significantly depending on the Blood Veil equipped.
■ Experience Points and Levels
By using experience points called “Haze,” the player character will be able to level up. Haze can be acquired by defeating enemies, as well as by using dedicated items obtained in dungeons.
—By increasing the player character’s level, their basic stats will also increase.
—If you are defeated in a dungeon, you will lose all of the Haze in your possession. However, if you reach the spot where you died, you can recover your Haze.
■ Blood Code
A Blood Code is a special blood type possessed by Revenants caused by the special characteristics of the owner. The protagonist can obtain the Blood Codes of other Revenants from their crystallized memories.
—In many situations, the crystallized memories you obtain will be damaged. In order to obtain a Blood Code, you must first repair their core.
By equipping a Blood Code, the special characteristics of the Revenant from which it came will be granted unto the player character, enabling the use of their Gifts. By repairing crystallized memories to resurrect the owner’s lost memories, you can unlock the Gifts hidden within the Blood Code.
—To repair crystallized memories, dedicated materials and Haze are required.
—By repairing crystallized memories, the owner’s lost memories will be resurrected. The protagonist can look into those memories, find the truth hidden within them, and come to know the heart of the Revenant from which the memories came.
The Gifts that belong to the equipped Blood Code will be replaced when you change Blood Codes, but some Gifts can be used regardless of the equipped Blood Code depending on whether certain conditions are met.
Blood Code: “Ranger”
A Blood Code that places emphasis on survival during exploration. By equipping it, you can learn Gifts that bolster exploration, such as a passive Gift that increases stamina, or a long-distance attack Gift that lures in the enemy.
Here are a couple of the Gifts that can be learned with the Ranger Blood Code:
Sonic Arrow – Generates a blade out of Ichor, and shoots at a distant enemy. It is low in power, but is very effective at luring the enemy to an easier place to battle.
Poison Mark – Grants a poison status ailment effect to the equipped weapon for a fixed period of time. If you manage to inflict the enemy with poison through repeated attacks, you can steal the strength away from even a powerful foe.
Blood Code: “Hunter”
A Blood Code that specializes in long-distance attacks. Depending on the weapon, you can learn shooting-type attack Gifts that can, for example, slow down the movements of the target Lost and increase the power of your shooting attacks.
Here are a couple of the Gifts that can be learned with the Hunter Blood Code:
Shooting Riser – Increases the attack power of your shooting attacks depending on the weapon for a fixed period of time. This ability is significantly effective when using a bayonet.
Blood Sacrifice – Converts your own HP into Ichor. Since you can obtain Ichor without Draining it from Losts, it is possible to consecutively trigger powerful Gifts for a short period of time.
Blood Code: “Berserker”
A Blood Code that specializes in close-range battles. Its effect time is short, but it enables the user to learn powerful Gifts that exhibit their strength at close-range, such as easily pushing back the enemy and making yourself more difficult to push back.
Here are a couple of the Gifts that can be learned with the Berserker Blood Code:
Crazy Blow – After activating the effect, the attack power of the user’s next weapon attack will increase. It is particularly effective when using weapons that deal powerful blows.
Royal Heart – Makes the user more difficult to push back as a result of enemy attacks for a fixed period of time. It is particularly useful in dangerous situations such as when facing against numerous enemies. 作者: kirassss 时间: 2017-12-7 04:07 PM ■ Player Customization
By combining weapons, Blood Veils, and Blood Codes, the player can customize a unique character all their own.
—The Hit and Away Type: Equipped with a lightweight weapon and Blood Veil to increase evasive ability.
—The Power Type: Equipped with a heavyweight, high-power weapon and high-defense Blood Veil.
—The Gift Attack Specialization Type: Equipped with a Blood Code that increases the power of attack-type Gifts and Gifts that replenish Ichor.
■ Obtaining and Strengthening Weapons
Other than obtaining weapons from the fields, you can obtain weapons from enemy drops or by purchasing them at specific locations. By using Haze and strengthening materials, you can also strengthen the performance of your weapon.
■ Obtaining and Strengthening Blood Veils
In addition to obtaining Blood Veils from the fields, you can also purchase them. Just like weapons, a Blood Veil can be strengthened to enhance its abilities.
■ Field Introduction: Ridge of Frozen Souls
A field where the danger of falling constantly follows the player—be it by snowstorms that make it difficult to see the path ahead, paths that run along the sides of cliffs, or overhanging snow. This area consists of mountains and caves.
—A cave that continues into a frozen mountain.
—A battle to the death against a Lost on a mountainside with limited footing.
—The entrance to a cave inside the mountain.
A powerful Lost awaits at the innermost depths of the mountain. Its entire body is covered in armor, it has deer-like horns and a giant shield, and rocket boosters on its back, making it quite robotic. It uses high-mobility attacks through brute force utilization of its shield and horns, as well as its rockets, and can also use ice-type Gifts.
■ Character Introduction: Nicola Karnstein (voiced by Hiromi Igarashi)
A Revenant who is wandering in Vein with his older sister Mia. He is kind and loves his sister, and has strong courage in that he will fight without giving in to any enemy if it is for the sake of his sister.
■ Event Scenes featuring Mia Karnstein
—Mia prepares to attack in order to protect her little brother Nicola. She is occasionally prepared to be ruthless in order to protect her only blood brother and survive in Vein.
—Mia stands alone in the Ridge of Frozen Souls. What fate awaits her and Nicola on this land where everything has frozen over?

Get the details below.
■ Second Main Visual
In the second main visual, we can see the Revenants gathered at the Home Base.
■ Home Base
Louis and company remodeled an old chapel and established it as their Home Base. In a world where the fear of death is constant, the Home Base is the only place where the Revenants can feel at peace.

—In addition to purchasing and upgrading weapons, and purchasing items, you can also change the protagonist’s clothing and hairdo at the Home Base.
■ New Characters
Rin Murasame (voiced by Yuuki Takada)
A Revenant whose main work consists of weapons supply and upgrades. Once known as “yaksha,” she was an excellent soldier with high enough combat ability to lead an army, but an incident in the past led to trauma, and she is no longer able to fight. She is exposed to the protagonist’s ability to see glimpses of peoples’ memories, and hopes to confront her past.
In addition to buying and upgrading weapons and Blood Veils, you can also transform the very nature of your weapon through “Equipment Transformation.” For example, you can give your weapon an attribute or lighten its weight.
image:
Coco (voiced by Nanako Mori)
A Revenant who comes from a guild that lives off of selling goods. If you can pay for it, she will sell you even this world’s most valuable items. While a merchant, she is also compassionate and cannot ignore someone in trouble. As a Revenant, she is only missing a fragment of her memory, which is rare. However, she seems to have a past that she by all means wants to regain.
In addition to buying items useful for your exploration, you can also buy “Valuables” from Coco.
Io (voiced by Lynn)
Like the protagonist, Io has lost the the greater part of her memory. She awaits the protagonist back at the base, where she finds shelter. She supports the protagonist through her repair abilities and detailed knowledge of Blood Crystals.
By recovering and repairing the Blood Crystals of partner and support characters, you will be able to restore their lost memories.
—By bringing the Blood Crystals you obtained while exploring the world of Vein to Io and repairing them, you can restore their memories and acquire new Gifts.
Davis (voiced by Shin’ya Takahashi)
A Revenant and member of the Public Order Preservation Force known as “Cerberus” who transfers to Louis’ Home Base. Perhaps because he has fought many battles, he has lost most of his memories from when he was alive. While performing his duties as a member of Cerberus, he is searching for a woman in a picture whose name he has already forgotten.
—Davis’ main duty is the tax collection of Blood Tears, but after the outbreak of the red fog, he seems to be investigating an area called “The Depths” in search of a new source of supply for Blood Tears and resources.
■ Character Interactions and Affinity
The protagonist has an Affinity with each of the characters at the Home Base, and by deepening the connection between them, that Affinity will rise. You may even receive valuable items from high Affinity characters.
—When your Affinity with a character is low, they will give you general consumable items and gestures.
—When your Affinity with a character is high, the variation of items they give you will increase. You may even get valuable upgrade materials and exclusive weapons…
—You can also talk to support characters like Murasame and Coco. The items you get differ depending on the character, so be sure to talk to them every so often.
There are three ways to raise Affinity.
Give Characters Their Favorite “Valuables”
In addition to the Valuables you can get from Coco, you can also obtain Valuables through exploration. You can then give characters their favorite things. Depending on what you give them, you may even get to see a surprising reaction…
Take Partner Characters Out to the Field
Characters that are able to fight, like Louis and Yakumo, can be taken out to the field as partner characters, which can increase their Affinity.
Repair Blood Crystals and Restore their Memories
All of the Revenants gathered at the Home Base have lost their memories. If you find their Blood Crystals while exploring, you can use Io’s power to restore their memories and further deepen your connection with them.

■ The History of the World of Code Vein
◆ The Great Collapse
The Birth of the Revenants
The Start of the Q.U.E.E.N. Project
Q.U.E.E.N.’s Rampage
◆ Operation Queenslayer
The Outbreak of the Red Fog and The Appearance of the Blood Tear Springs
The Reign of Silva
The Provisional Government Office and The Formation of Cerberus, The Control of Human Protection, and the Introduction of the Blood Tax System
◆ The Present
The World’s Collapse and the Birth of the Revenants
—The Great Collapse
“The Great Collapse”—the name of the calamity that suddenly attacked the world. The Thorns of Judgment destroyed the greater part of most cities, and it is said that nearly half of mankind died.
—The Birth of the Revenants
Revenants are artificially created and immmortal soldiers made for the purpose of defeating the strange creatures referred to as “monsters” that appeared alongside the world’s destruction. They possess extremely high physical abilities compared to a regular human, and can vanish and revive any number of times as long as their heart is not destroyed.
—The BOR Parasite
“BOR” is an abbreviation for a parasite known as the “Biological Organ Regenerative” formula. It parasites onto the heart of a corpse that has lost its biological functions, and can control and operate all of its organs, including the brain, by pumping its own blood throughout the body.
By implanting an improved BOR Parasite into the heart of a dead human in order to keep the corrosion level at a certain condition, the Revenant—an immortal being that can maintain its natural will—was born.
The Characteristics of a Revenant
—Fogification
A “self-defense function” by way of the BOR Parasite in the heart of a Revenant that occurs when the functions of a Revenant’s body are stopped. The cells that make up the body disperse into the air, and the body revives through the reformation of the cells.
—Ashification
The total ashification of a Revenant host’s body caused by the bond collapse of the body cells when the BOR Parasite that parasited their heart is destroyed. In such a situation, the Revenant will never again be able to revive, and will meet their “death.”
—Memory Loss
In situations where a Revenant repeatedly dies and revives, and the parasite in their body is damaged, memory loss will occur. The Revenants themselves are unable to notice the fact that they are losing their memories.
—Losing One’s Sanity (Becoming a Lost)
When a Revenant’s thirst for blood exceeds its threshold, they will be reduced to a “Lost.” Once they lose their sanity and become a Lost, they will never again be able to go back to being a Revenant.
—Lost
The final stage of a Revenant, a human transformed by the BOR Parasite. When their thirst for blood exceed its threshold and they lose their sanity, they will become a Lost.
Since corrosion by the BOR Parasite accelerates and fuses at the host and cell level, the destruction of the BOR Parasite itself, otherwise ashification, is practically impossible.
A Lost is a true immortal monster that cannot be annihilated even if its heart is destroyed, and has absolutely no human reasoning remaining within it.
The Q.U.E.E.N. Project
A project with the goal of suppressing the “homogeneous blood thirst” defect of Revenants and creating the perfect soldier. By putting the blood of all living organisms into a BOR Parasite, success was achieved in the dispersion and suppression of the craving for homogenous blood, as well as the restraining of thirst symptoms, but the girl that was the subject of the experiment could not bear the constant and intense pain she endured and ran wild, which led to Operation Queenslayer.
—Q.U.E.E.N.’s Appearance
Q.U.E.E.N.’s arm is wrapped in bandages and she wears the hospital gown-like clothes she wore at the time of her rampage. Her body emits a miasma that accelerates a Revenant’s thirst for blood, making her difficult to approach. She has the powerful ability to manipulate countless thorns, and has slaughtered an innumerable number of Revenants. She also has the ability to control the Lost around her at she pleases.
Gregorio Silva (voiced by Akio Ootsuka)
A former soldier and Revenant. After the Great Collapse, from the Birth of the Revenants to The Q.U.E.E.N. Project, he has taken command in order to save mankind. Silva, who determined that the rampaging Q.U.E.E.N. would become a threat to mankind, started a fight to defeat Q.U.E.E.N., and even revived himself as a Revenant to take command.
Operation Queenslayer
In order to destroy the rampaging Q.U.E.E.N., a group of Revenants under Silva’s command fought a battle where the fate of mankind was at stake. Revenants produced from people that died as a result of the Great Collapse or Q.U.E.E.N.’s rampage were brought in as soldiers. The battle can also be said to be the main reason there are so many Revenants. After that, it was also a reason so many Lost were born.
—Many Revenants that were born under the command of Silva participated in battle.
—A violent battle against the Lost controlled by Q.U.E.E.N. The Revenants, who can revive any number of times as long as their heart is not destroyed, are flung around to the point of death.
The Government After Operation Queenslayer
After Operation Queenslayer, Silva launched the Provisional Government Office and ruled over the Revenants in order to manage the limited human blood and Blood Tears. There were quite a few Revenants who harbored oppossition under his severe tyrannical rule.
Provisional Government Office
The general term of the organization established by Silva after Operation Queenslayer. It collects and distributes Blood Tears to Revenants, as well as provides custodial care to humans using protective shelters.
—The “Blood Tax,” through which Blood Tears are offered to the Government Office, is one of the reasons weak Revenants are being enslaved.
—The remaining humans have also been robbed of their freedom and are faced with strict control. Human blood is valuable to Revenants.
“Cerberus”: The Public Order Preservation Force
A Revenant force that belongs to the Provisional Government Office led by Silva. It observes the actions of Revenants living in various areas, and collects and distributes Blood Tears at fixed intervals. It is formed of many who survived Operation Queenslayer, and its combat ability is extremely high.

BOR 寄生体
生体器官再生式(Biological Organ Regenerative)寄生体的简称。 会寄生在失去生体机能的尸体心脏上. 透过让自己的血液流动到尸体全身,支配包含脑部在内的各种器官后操纵尸体行动。 藉由把改良到能够维持在一定程度侵食等级的 BOR 寄生体,埋入尸体的心脏部位,就可以制造出能为维持原本意志,同时又持有不死性的吸血鬼。
关于这个世界到崩坏为止的历史,虽然可能有点冗长,但在这边还是依照顺序来说明。
堕鬼
在寄生体影响下变质为吸血鬼的人类的末路。 因为鲜血饥渴超过临界点引发丧失自我,就会让吸血鬼变成堕鬼。
因为 BOR 寄生体对肉体的侵蚀,在极端加速的情况下最后和宿主产生细胞等级的融合,因此想破坏 BOR 寄生体使其灰化,已经是不可能的任务。
就算破坏心脏也不会消灭的真正不死怪物,已经完全失去身为人类的最后一片理性。
为了抑止吸血鬼对于同种鲜血欲求这个「缺陷」,所以重新发起了制作出「完美战士」的「Q.U.E.E.N. 计划」。 计划内容是让 BOR 寄生体摄取各种不同生物的血液,藉此分散并抑制鲜血饥渴的症状。

Bandai Namco has released new information and screenshots of Code Vein introducing more of the game’s story, new characters Karen and Cruz Silva, partner characters Mia, Yakumo, and Louis’ unique traits, and more.
Get the details below.
■ Operation Queenslayer
“Operation Queenslayer” is the name of the battle to defeat the rampaging Q.U.E.E.N., where many Revenants participated as soldiers. The protagonist was one of those soldiers. After regenerating many times over, the protagonist partners with Jack, who highly values his fighting style.
Field: Military Research Facility – The Outskirts
With Q.U.E.E.N.’s attack, all of the Revenants were defeated. Piercing white thorns were the remains of that attack. And the building’s function as a facility fell with Q.U.E.E.N.’s rampage. Flames and black smoke built up around the facility, and the fierce battle with the intermittent Lost continued on.
The facility and its surrounding area took a devastating blow from the “Thorns of Judgment” that led to the world’s collapse and Q.U.E.E.N.’s attack. Both inside and outside of the building, the Lost that serve Q.U.E.E.N. roam about.
—The Lost, otherwise known as Q.U.E.E.N.’s vanguard. There are both one-handed sword-use types and halberd-use types. They are the strongest of the strong, and can also use Gifts.
And then there is the “Queen’s Knight,” which will confront you as a boss battle.
The Deathmatch Against Q.U.E.E.N.
Jack and the protagonist confront Q.U.E.E.N., but face a hard fight against her mighty power. During that battle, Gregorio Silva comes running to help. He uses a Gift to put up a barrier that protects the two and defends against Q.U.E.E.N.’s attacks.
Jack and the protagonist move on the offensive thanks to Silva’s support, but during that battle, the protagonist’s mask is removed and miasma enters his system.
Although they somehow succeed in defeating Q.U.E.E.N., the protagonist progresses towards becoming a Lost. At the hands of Jack, who determines that there is no means to save the protagonist from the transformation, the protagonist is dropped down to the bottom of a ravine…
■ Characters
Karen (voiced by Yumi Hara)
One of the researchers who worked on the Q.U.E.E.N. Project, and Louis’ older sister. She died during Q.U.E.E.N.’s rampage, but was immediately revived as a Revenant. She also participates in Operation Queenslayer, serves as a protective observeror of Revenants returning to death, and supports their fight.
Revenants, which are are immortal, died and regenerated many times over in the battle against Q.U.E.E.N. Karen’s role is the welcoming, care, and maintenance for the Revenants that are regenerated, as well as battle support.
Cruz Silva
The girl that became the test subject of the Q.U.E.E.N. Project. She was a schoolmate of Louis, and is Gregorio Silva’s daughter. She withstood painful experiments in hopes of saving mankind, but became a destruction incarnate under the pressure of an unsuccessful experiment.
■ Misama and Mistletoes
Revenants who inhale the miasma that occurs around Q.U.E.E.N. are hit with a violent thirst for blood and are in danger of becoming Lost. For that reason, it is necessary for Revenants to always wear a miasma-purifying mask in battle.
Activated “Misletoes” purify the miasma around them, and have the ability to connect and regenerate the flesh of the Revenants that have vanished from this world. It can be called a lifeline for Revenants.
While Mia mainly fights using a bayonet and keeps her distance from enemies, she supports the player by strengthening their Drain and Gift performance. She is somewhat weak compared to other partners, but is good for players who want to utilize her support capabilities to actively defeat enemies. In boss battles, she also has an attack-type Gift called “Guard of Honor” that can deal big damage.
—While the player approaches the enemy, Mia will provide support from the rear with long distance attacks that utilize her bayonet.
Co-Op Gift: Trance Time
A Co-Op Gift that can be used when Mia is your partner. It trades off melee attack power in order to reduce the amount of Ichor Stock consumed when using Gifts for a fixed period of time.
Some of the Gifts that Mia Can Use
Blood-Eating Long Sword – Increases the Drain performance of both herself and her partner’s weapon attacks for a fixed period of time.
Guard of Honor – Generates several ice pillars in spaced segments that shoot at her target.
—By reducing the Ichor Stock consumed by Gifts through the use of Mia’s Co-Op Gift “Trance Time,” you can make efficient use of high-power Gifts that would normally consume a lot of Ichor Stock.
◆ Yakumo’s Partner Traits
Yakumo is an attacker who actively approaches the enemy, and damages and pushes them back with his two-handed sword. He follows the breaks between the player’s attacks with his two-handed sword, making for a more efficient battle. His physical strength is high compared to other partners, and he can easily withstand an enemy’s powerful attack. He supports the player by using Gifts that increase attack and defense performance. Players can also utilize Yakumo’s traits to fight from the rear.
—While Yakumo’s Co-Op Gift “Lupine Live” is activated, guard performance increases. You will not be pushed back by enemy attacks, and can maintain intervals of attack.
Co-Op Gift: Lupine Live
A Co-Op Gift that can be used when Yakumo is your partner. It trades off evasion speed in order to reduce the amount of stamina consumed when guarding, as well as increase the amount of damage you can deal after going from a guard to an attack.
Some of the Gifts that Yakumo Can Use
Mudblood Protection – Condenses Ichor Stock to the limit to generate a barrier around himself and his partner that significantly reduces the amount of damage taken only once.
Flash Fang – Increases attack power only for the blow that follows the Gift.
—Yakumo’s “Mudblood Protection” Gift significantly reduces the amount of damage received. It is especially effective in battles against enemies with powerful attacks.
◆ Louis’ Partner Traits
Louis is a balanced type that even uses Gifts while fighting at close range. His attacks have moderate breaks between them, and his ability to survive is high as he makes use of hit-and-away tactics that utilize his attack speed. Since his “Blade Dance” Gift strengthens himself by increasing his attack performance during combos, players can better manifest those effects by using attacks that easily push back the enemy.
Additionally, when Louis is Focused, his own attacks inflict the enemy with the “Slow” status ailment. By increasing Louis’ number of attacks, you can weaken the enemy and fight at an advantage.
—A combination attack that utilizes Louis’ quick attack speed and balance. The synergy between the player and Louis manifests by creating breaks for Louis to attack with co-op attacks.
Co-Op Gift: Phantom Gain
A Co-Op Gift that can be used when Louis is your partner. It trades off defense power to increase attack power for a fixed period of time, and also changes your evasion action.
One of the Gifts that Louis Can Use
Blade Dance – Increases damage dealt for each time damage is dealt to an enemy for a fixed period of time.
—The Co-Op Gift “Phantom Gain” reduces defense power, but increases attack power and evasion performance. By making skillful use of step evasions, deal damage to the enemy with hit-and-away tactics.
■ Multiplayer
In the prison of fog where miasma spreads and many Lost run rampant, it is recommended you call upon the aid of a fellow Revenant.
—Explore the world with another player. The help of other Revenants is essential to clearing dungeons with high difficulty.
—By sending out a distress signal in areas where you need help, you can get help from another player that has met certain conditions.
—Only the other player’s player character will come to help. Your own partner will also remain alongside you. The Gifts used by your partner will also effect the player that has come to help.
Communicating with Other Players
In Code Vein, you can freely combine gestures, stamps, and voices to create your own emotes and communicate with other players.
There are several types of emotes you can create, which you can save to a palette for immediate use on the field and in battle.

作者: kirassss 时间: 2018-4-5 10:37 PM Code Vein details early story, Cathedral of the Sacred Blood, and Jack and Eva partner traits
Bandai Namco has released new information and screenshots of Code Vein introducing the game’s early story, the Cathedral of the Sacred Blood field and the boss that awaits inside, and Jack and Eva’s partner traits.
Get the details below.
■ Early Story
Awakening
After the battle with Q.U.E.E.N., the protagonist wakes up in an unknown location. Io is there, but… The protagonist lost the majority of his memory from the damage to his heart. Io also seemed to have lost her memory.
The Protagonist and Io
Led by Io, they head towards the collapsed city before reaching the withered Blood Tear Springs, but… While Io lost the memories concerning herself, she still has knowledge of the Blood Tears in this world, and seems to know of the protagonist’s ability to reactivate withered Blood Tear Springs…
With the protagonist’s power, he reactivates the Springs, and by absorbing the ripened Blood Tears, the two restore their energy. There surfaces a Revenant group going around urban areas searching for Blood Tears, who captures the protagonist and Io as Blood Tear-collecting slaves.
Looking for Blood Tears
Due to a heavy taxation of Blood Tears, as well as the powerful among the Revenant society, a hierarchical relationship was established where weak Revenants are treated as slaves to collect Blood Tears. Both the captured protagonist and Io are taken prisoner, and together with the Revenants in the same situation, they head underground in search of Blood Tears.
The Disaster
The protagonist obtains Blood Tears and returns to ground level. He finds Io lying on the ground with Revenants that continue to get annihilated and vanish, but… It was the work of Revenants that came into contact with the miasma, and whose thirst for blood ran wild. The Revenants—who already started to lose their sense of self, whose heads mutated, and who become Lost—also attack the protagonist.
Louis Appears
Louis appears to help the protagonist, who was caught off guard and in a dilemma. After that, the protagonist fights alongside Louis against the Revenants assailants.
The Protagonist and Louis
With the help of Louis, the protagonist and company do away with the Revenants who became Lost. Louis, who witnesses the protagonist reactivate a Blood Tear Spring, finds a means of escape and guides the protagonist to his base in order to use that power for his own objective.
■ Field: Cathedral of the Sacred Blood
Floating above the hollowed-out land is an odd-looking church. Its complex and mysterious structure turns away those from stepping inside, inviting them on a never-ending journey.
In its depths is a grand cathedral. White corridors are spread out around it as if turning away those who approach the cathedral.
Inside the corridors. On the floor and pillars are complex passageways and staircases engraved with beautiful embossments.
The corridors are dotted with and connected by cylinder-shaped rooms. These rooms have several entrances and exits, so it is easy to lose your sense of direction.
There are passageways with differences in elevation. Falling is an ever-present danger.
In the circular plazas, passageways, and the like, there will be Lost lurking to protect those places.
Masked female-type Lost will protect various places in the cathedral. They wear beautiful white veils, but the eyes of their iron mask are an empty darkness and they attack intruders like automatons.
A passageway where white vegetation grows in large numbers. They resemble Blood Tear Springs, but do not produce any Blood Tears.
The cathedral stands before the protagonist and company upon exiting the corridors. A giant seal seems to have been placed on the entrance of the cathedral. And nearby seems to be a girl that resembles Io…?
What awaits inside the walls of the cathedral…?作者: kirassss 时间: 2018-4-5 10:37 PM
■ The “Successor” Who Inherits Q.U.E.E.N.’s Body
As a result of trying every possible measure to disable the infinite regeneration of Q.U.E.E.N., the only method arrived at was “fusion with the body of another person.”
The God Shell
The name given to the partitioned body of Q.U.E.E.N. Similar to a Lost, it is fully assimilated with parasites and thus cannot be incinerated, and as a last resort, measures were taken to “transplant the body inside another body.”
Guardian of the God Shell
Jack is feared as a “Revenant Hunter.” He guards the God Shell, but his true mission make a new Revenant inherit the God Shell as a successor when signs of losing one’s self start to appear. In order to achieve that mission, he has laid many Revenants to rest.
Successor of the God Shell
Only Revenants whose compatibility level with the God Shell surpasses a certain amount will be deemed a candidate to become successor. Nevertheless, it will cause transformation to a body unable to endure erosion.
In order to control the erosion of the God Shell, a “strong will” is required in addition to the high compatibility level. Selection of the successor that possesses the nature to take over the God Shell is one of Jack’s duties.
Jack and Eva’s Mission
Successors unable to endure the erosion of the God Shell, and who show signs of losing one’s self, will die at the hands of Jack, and the God Shell will be inherited by a new successor…
Eva kneels to pray to the Revenants who have perished. She has a special power to calm the God Shell running wild with her singing voice. With that power, she stays by Jack’s side, supporting him on his mission.
■ Boss: The Successor of the Ribcage
The successor that awaits in the Cathedral of the Sacred Blood. While it already lost its human consciousness, it stands before the protagonist and company as if to block the door to the cathedral.
A giant creature with a wolf-like head, the Successor of the Ribcage has four arms and two legs. Since it has inherited the power of Q.U.E.E.N., it is a mighty foe whose strength cannot be compared to other Lost.
Chains can be seen on the Lost’s hands and feet.
Its four arms are engraved with marks that enable it to unleash Gifts of various attribute, including thunder, ice, and fire. Both their range and power are tremendous, so you will not be able to win without a counter-plan.
■ Jack’s Partner Traits
Jack actively approaches the enemy to fight at close range. Given his high mobility and evasion performance, he is difficult to damage. Using his “Bloodshot” Gift, which can attack from a long distance, and his “Active Record” Gift, which increases his maximum stamina value, he can strengthen both his attack and defense.
Jack is characterized by step evasion only possible with lightweight equipment. He will proactively attack the enemy while dodging its attacks.
Some Gifts that Jack Can Use
Active Record – Increases the maximum stamina of both himself and his allies, and fully recovers stamina, for a fixed period of time.
Bloodshot – Transforms blood power into a large bullet that is then fired.
image:
Co-Op Gift: Fatal Day
A Co-Op Gift that can be used when Jack is your partner. It trades off the use of regeneration power to increase attack power and decrease the amount of stamina consumed.
—With the Co-Op Gift “Fatal Day,” although physical strength cannot be recovered for a fixed time due to the regeneration power trade-off, you can actively use Drain attacks with a higher number of attacks and less stamina consumption to deal big damage.
■ Eva’s Partner Traits
Eva provides cover while mainly shooting with her bayonet to fight from a distance. She can deal big damage from long distances with her attack-type Gifts such as “Bloodshot” and “Bleed Roar.”
When she uses up her Ichor Stock, Eva can fight at close range, but since her physical strength is low, she must be careful as not to get killed.
Some Gifts that Eva Can Use
Authority – Increases her and her allies’ Gift use speed for a fixed period of time.
Bleed Roar – Creates a blade of polluted blood that fires at the enemy.
—“Bleed Roar” is a gift that can deal big damage from a distance. By combining it with “Authority,” you can put the enemy in a dangerous situation, easily unleashing powerful gifts to defeat them.
Co-Op Gift: Limited Song
A Co-Op Gift that can be used when Eva is your partner. It increases Ichor Stock consumption as a trade-off to increase Drain performance and Gift performance for a fixed period of time.

《噬血代码》预计将于2018 年登陆PS4、Xbox One和PC平台,同时也确认了繁体中文版,敬请期待。由著名的ufotable制作,而主题曲为VAMPS的《UNDERWORLD》。作者: kirassss 时间: 2018-4-27 11:13 AM Code Vein details Mido, Combo Drains, weapon variations, and Mia and Louis’ partner actions
Bandai Namco has released new information and screenshots of Code Vein introducing enemy character Juzo Mido, Combo Drain attacks, weapon variations, and Mia and Louis’ partner actions.
Get the details below.
■ Characters
Juzo Mido (voiced by Sho Hayami)
A being that can be called as the leading Revenant researcher. Before the Great Collapse, Mido adopted orphans and repeatedly conducted experiments on them, and sent those experiments to the battlefield as soldiers. For the sake of his research, he even uses himself as material for experimentation, and has thus become a strengthened Revenant.
—Mido is accompanied by a group of Revenant subordinates whose abilities have been strengthened as a result of his research.
—Mido is strong enough to block an attack from Yakumo that requires all of his strength.
—Jack falls to his knees before Mido. What is the relation between his research and Jack’s mission to guard the God Shell…?
Mido continues to strive for power and strength. What could his intention be?
■ Combo Drains
Depending on the weapon, you can use Drain actions that immediately unleash a Drain attack after a non-Drain attack. These can be connected from to standard attacks, special attacks, and charge attacks. Ascertain your weapon and Blood Veil traits to discover the best possible combinations.
—The Stinger’s Combo Drain. It unleashes a Drain attack following consecutive bayonet attacks without missing a beat. The Combo Drain takes advantage of the Stinger’s long reach by combining attacks with interval shots from the bayonet.
—The Hounds’ Combo Drain. The Blood Veil expands and bites at the enemy, and since it expands at a wide range forward, it is compatible with any close-range attack.
In the Focus state, you can also unleash a Combo Drain from a launch attack. Compared to standard Combo Drains, the amount of Ichor points it absorbs and the increase in maximum number of Ichor stock is greater.
—Stinger Combo Drain (aerial).
—Hounds Combo Drain (aerial).

During battle, Mia and Louis will support the protagonist with weapon attacks and various Gifts. Louis keeps a moderate distance from enemies, and uses good balance of weapons and Gifts.
—Louis’ weapon attack.
—Louis’ Gift attack.
—Mia’s guard.
Depending on their health and the enemy’s attacks, Mia and Louis will also use actions such as guard and evade. Even so, in battles against strong enemies, be sure to always pay attention to your partner’s status.
Gifts (Louis)
A Drain attack via Louis’ Ogre Blood Veil. Partners also require the use of Ichor points when using Gifts. If your Ichor points have been used up, Louis will switch to Drain actions, so be sure to attack alongside him.
Gifts (Mia)
A Drain attack via Mia’s Stinger Blood Veil. Since even shots from her bayonet use Ichor points, Drain actions are essential. While in Drain mode, she will protect the player to keep from being swarmed by enemies.
Boss Battles
Depending on the character, they will make use of special actions during boss battles.
Mia has an attack-based Gift called “Guard of Honor” that she only uses during boss battles. It generates several blades of ice that surround her, which are then fired at the enemy. It is a powerful Gift that can deal big damage from a distance.
Exploration
Commentary from your partner will change based on the state of your surroundings. They will also help you explore.
—The reaction to a collapsed city full of cars and rubble. Depending on the terrain, your partner may urge caution, so be sure to pay attention during exploration.
—Your partner will worry about your health if it was reduced in a battle against a Lost. You may end up in trouble if you do not recover.
—In the underground area of the collapsed city, there are many places with broken footing. Follow your partner’s advice and watch your step.
—Partners also have field-specific commentary. Even the same fields will yield different reactions depending on the partner, and you may even see a surprising side to them…
If you stop moving, your partner will check out your surroundings. They will wait as long as it takes, so carefully check or change your equipment. If a Lost attacks, your partner will be the first to fight back. (Editor’s Note: The game does not pause when changing equipment.)

■ The Reliable Former Mercenary Yakumo
As a combat professional, the former mercenary Yakumo fights with a cool head on the battlefield. However, his strong sense of duty and relaible personality, even many Revenants look up to him like an older brother.
As a partner, Yakumo is a reliable character who makes use of his high physical strength to actively pull ahead and take damage.
An exploration scene with Yakumo. When you discover a treasure chest, for example, he will have a Yakumo-esque reaction.
■ Yakumo’s Past
Yakumo’s Connection to Mido
Before the world collapsed, Yakumo was once a human being, and together with his comrades were sold off as mercenaries to be used as Mido’s laboratory experiments. Even now that memory remains, as Yakumo seems to have a strong hatred of Mido.
Emily Su (voiced by Yuuki Kuwahara)
A woman who belonged to a private military facility led by Mido and was subjected to cruel experiments alongside Yakumo. During his trying time as a mercenary, Yakumo overcame his suffering with Emily and came to know her as family. After they were separated by the Great Collapse, Yakumo sets out in search of her.
Mido’s Experiments
The memories of Revenants subjected to laboratory experiments by Mido, just like Yakumo. Even after the world collapsed and he was revived as a Revenant, Mido’s cruel experiments continued…
■ Field Introduction: City of Falling Flames
A city burned down by hell fire that never dies out, whose ruins were instantly swallowed up by a whirlpool of flames without any prior warning, that will continue to burn with never-ending momentum until everything becomes ashes.
The roads and buildings have collapsed, and the city is covered entirely in flames. Since you will take damage treading along the burning ground, you should proceed exploring with caution.
The “Thorns of Judgment” wind their way through the city as if doing whatever it takes to destroy it. The fire that occurs from the thorns thoroughly burns everything, and never dies out.
A wall of fire blocks the player’s path forward. You must also always be on the look out for an attack from a Lost lurking in the flames.
A Lost called “Blazing Radical” lurks in the flames of the burned down city. It possesses various weapons.
It is a Lost reminiscent of a knight. Depending on the weapon it possesses, it will not only unleash consecutive attacks, it can also use Gifts that strengthen its weapon.
■ Successor of the Claw
The Successor who inherited Q.U.E.E.N.’s claws. It has deep red claws that shine like a crimson flame and two tails. Its head is fully masked, meaning that its facial expressions are unreadable, but they prey reflected in its eyes is undoubtedly invited to death.
A slash attack from the giant knife in its right hand. You must always be on alert for slash attacks following quick movements.
The Successor of the Claw will trifle with the player using acrobatic attacks such as leap attacks from the sky.
The boss enemy will burn anyone who approaches it to nothing with powerful, flame-covered attacks like slash attacks from its blazing claws or a spin attack from its two tails.
It can also attack at long distance with flame-covered shurikens. You will not even be able to approach it unless you see through its unique trajectory.
Slip through the Successor of the Claw’s fast movements and flame-covered attacks, and you will certainly be able to damage it.
■ Caskets of the Successors
The domains created by the Successors were made in order to suppress the God Shell’s rampage. Using the power passed down by Q.U.E.E.N. to intervene with the Thorns of Judgment, the Successors sealed themselves and fell asleep behind unique barriers and thorns.
■ Field: Ridge of Frozen Souls
An icey valley where a violent snow storm continues to blow. It was once covered in grass, but almost at the same time as the outbreak of the red fog, a snow storm hit the valley as if to bend and twist its climate.
Successor of the Ridge of Frozen Souls
A casket of a Successor can also be found on the Ridge of Frozen Souls. Waiting for players inside is a large-horned Lost Successor.
■ Weapon Variations: Great Hammer
Even weapons of the same category have diverse actions depending on the weapon.
Huge Hammer – Heavy Attack
A horizontally wide-ranging attack in which the user unleashes a great swing while stepping forward.
Huge Hammer – Charged Heavy Attack
From a horizontal charging stance, the user unleashes a great rush forward.
Impulse Anchor – Charged Heavy Attack
Following a strong strike of the hammer, an explosion that wraps up surrounding enemies is produced.
