[Watch] New Code Vein ‘Underworld’ Trailer Drops

What do you get when you combine Dark Souls and Anime? Apparently Code Vein. The upcoming game from Bandai Namco, the same publisher as Dark Souls, is set to arrive on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2018, but today the company has released a new trailer titled “Underworld,” which uses a song of the same name by the band, Vamps.

Code Vein looks to bring a hand-drawn Anime inspired story to a hack-n-slash game style, if the game’s development team, Bandai Namco Studios can harness the skill that From Software injects into Dark Soul’s, this game may be one to watch next year.

“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 center 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. Wandering aimlessly in search of blood, the Lost will stop at nothing to satisfy their hunger. Team up and embark on a journey to the ends of hell to unlock your past and escape your living nightmare in CODE VEIN.”

Code Vein has no set release date as of yet, but is expected to release in 2018.
