Το Code Vein είναι το νέο παιχνίδι της Bandai Namco

Πριν λίγες ημέρες, σας ενημερώσαμε για το νέο παιχνίδι που έκανε tease η Bandai Namco με το σλόγκαν, “Prepare to Dine”. Το teasing λοιπόν έφτασε στο τέλος του, καθώς στο τελευταίο τεύχος του δημοφιλούς ιαπωνικού περιοδικού Famitsu, αποκαλύφθηκε πως το νέο παιχνίδι της εταιρίας είναι το Code Vein, ένα νέο dungeon exploration hard action RPG τύπου παιχνίδι που αναπτύσσεται από την ομάδα του God Eater. Η κυκλοφορία του έχει προγραμματιστεί για το επόμενο έτος, χωρίς να έχουν γίνει γνωστές οι πλατφόρμες.

Τα γεγονότα του παιχνιδιού λαμβάνουν χώρα στο μέλλον όπου όλα έχουν καταστραφεί. Οι παίκτες λαμβάνουν τον ρόλο των Revenants, βαμπίρ που διαθέτουν υπερφυσικές ικανότητες και θέλουν να μάθουν την αλήθεια που κρύβει ο κόσμος μαζί με τους συμμάχους τους.

Η επίσημη αποκάλυψη για το νέο Code Vein της εταιρίας θα πραγματοποιηθεί στις 20 Απριλίου. Μείνετε συντονισμένοι εδώ, στο www.unboxholics.com για ότι νεότερο προκύψει. Παρακάτω θα βρείτε περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες για το παιχνίδι.

The game is set in a near future where everything has gone to ruin. Players are Revenants, vampires that possess supernatural abilities, that will take on the truth of the world while working together with allies.

In order to survive, Revenants live in an isolated society called “Vein.” The Revenant is a being that has transcended humanity, but as a result has lost most of their memories. A Revenant who is short on blood will turn into a monster called a “Lost.”

One of the main features of Code Vein is the “Buddy” system. When exploring dungeons, you can bring a single partner along.

Revenants mainly use close-range weapons such as great swords and one-handed swords. Other weapons such as spears and hammers also exist.

Here are a pair of key terms:

• Blood Veil – The Blood Veil is a Revenant-original piece of equipment that sucks up the blood of Losts. It’s usually shaped like clothing and functions as armor. A dedicated mechanism appears at the time of blood sucking, and the user’s mask sees an ominous change.
• Special Ability: “Tempered Blood” – An action that can be triggered after a successful blood sucking attack via the Blood Vale, and that depends on the blood obtained from the Lost. There are a number of variations, such as strengthening yourself, weakening enemies, and direct attacks.

Staff working on the project includes:

• Producer: Keita Iizuka
• Director: Hiroshi Yoshimura
• Project Team Leader: Yusuke Tomizawa

Development is currently 35 percent complete. A trailer will be revealed shortly, likely when the game is officially announced on April 20.

Update 

• The game is being made as a new challenge on a separate development line from the God Eater series.
• Regarding whether it is related to God Eater, Iizuka said: “We are developing it as a new title that offers a new game experience.”
• “Vein” refers to the English word “vein.” “Code” is “code.” The impression here is “codes of blood.”
• The title implies there is a hidden truth in the closed world players will explore, Vein.
• The name of the genre is “dramatic exploration action RPG.” The “exploration action RPG” genre has players tensely exploring seamlessly connected areas on foot, which offers a great sense of accomplishment. The team put a lot of thought into how it could improve on that formula.
• By traveling with a buddy, you can overcome great challenges that you might give up on if you were playing a highly difficult game on your own, and feel a greater sense of accomplishment.
• Buddies act on their own, but it will also be necessary for the player to take action to help their buddy.
• The game engine is Unreal Engine 4.
• They still can’t say which platform(s) it will support. But it will be released for console.
• A gameplay trailer will be released in early May.
• This is a Japanese title aiming for a worldwide release.
• As team leader, Tomizawa will oversee both God Eater and Code Vein.
