Bandai Namco Reveal Multiplayer Functionality in ‘Code Vein’

Published

on

Those wondering if Bandai Namco will have online multiplayer in their upcoming Dark Souls-inspired vampire action RPG Code Vein will be pleased to know that the game will allow friends to drop in and join in the fight.

The company announced the feature via Twitter, which seems to imply the game will have a co-op feature similar to Dark Souls. In the case of Code Vein, as you explore and attempt to complete dungeons alongside an NPC companion, you can send out a distress signal to summon another player.

According to an article by Gematsu (which translated an article in the Japanese gaming magazine Weekly Famitsu), players will be able to join your game after meeting “certain conditions”. The summoned player appears alone, but can travel with you as a party character alongside your NPC partner. Your NPC partner’s Gifts will also have an affect on the rescue player.

Code Vein is due out for PlayStation 4, XBox One, and PC worldwide later this year.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
