Story: When the past holds the key to saving the future

Code Vein II takes players to a future world where humans and Revenant are trying to coexist peacefully. However, the sudden emergence of Luna Rapacis shatters everything, turning Revenant into mindless monsters known as Horrors.

As a Revenant hunter, you carry the mission of preventing the world’s collapse. By your side is Lou, a mysterious girl with the ability to manipulate time. Together, you will travel back into the past to uncover the truth behind the current catastrophe.

Combat system: Intense and satisfying
