Bandai creates a lot of action and challenging games, often inspired by the ‘Souls’ genre. Given how well the first ‘Code Vein’ performed, it’s no surprise many players are eager for news about a sequel – and we’ve got the latest on the release date right here.
Code Vein was a bit unusual for a Soulslike game, and while it wasn’t perfect, fans enjoyed it enough to help it sell over a million copies. That made a sequel inevitable! You’ve been asking for it, and now it’s here – here’s everything you need to know about the launch of Code Vein 2.
Code Vein 2 Release Date
Bandai’s Code Vein 2 is coming out on January 29th, and it’s the first major Souls-like game to be released this year.
If you’re looking for a great game to kick off the year, Code Vein 2 is it. It’s quickly become a leading Soulslike title for 2026, surpassing Nioh 3 and setting a high standard for the genre.
The real challenge isn’t just making the game hard, but making it stand out and be remembered when people look back on the year’s releases. If the sequel is similar to the original Code Vein, it should easily achieve that.
This time, the game features a larger, more open world and you’ll get around on a motorcycle, making for a more expansive and adventurous experience.
Code Vein 2 Release Times, Explained
Code Vein 2 will be available to everyone starting January 29th at 3 PM Pacific Time, with release times varying slightly for other parts of the world.
