Sharpen Your Fangs with New ‘Code Vein’ Info

Published

on

Those hungry for more info on Bandai Namco’s vampire-centric RPG Code Vein are in luck. The company has released a few more tidbits and info to gnaw on, including two new characters!

In the vein (sorry) of games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, Code Vein will feature a Gift system that increases attack or defense. The system allows usage of up to 8 gifts during battle. Gifts can also be passive and gained with specific items or equipment. And like Dark Souls, the game will feature a Stamina Gauge, which will have players managing all their actions (including attacks, evading, dashing and drain).

The game will also have a Focus System, where players can temporarily increase characters abilities during battle. This is best used when receiving and dodging attacks or surrounded by multiple enemies. The Focus System allows players to fight back in extreme situations, acquiring a power boost when intentionally placing themselves in danger. They can negate an attack, increase their own attack and throw enemies in the air! Lastly, the Partner Action will help players during fights. Companions will support players by attacking during battles, enhancing the skills and sharing Health Points when needed.

In addition to being joined on your quest by previously-announced characters Mia and Yakumo, you will also meet up with Louis and Io. Louis is a young leader helping Revenants suffering from bloodlust, and is looking for a source of Blood Beads to use as a substitute for human blood. Io is a female Revenant with no memory of her past who will potentially join the player on their journey.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
