Demo For ‘Code Vein’ Coming Next Month For Consoles
After the initial delay, Bandai Namco’s RPG Code Vein heads home on September 27. Prior to this, the publisher has revealed that a demo will be released on September 3 for consoles (sorry, PC gamers).
The demo will allow players to create their own characters, explore the start of the game, and dive into the first part of “The Depths,” one of the dungeons found in the game.
Bandai Namco also released another developer diary, focusing on the game’s graphical journey.
Code Vein is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Capcom has made the wait for the upcoming Onimusha: Way of the Sword a little easier. Originally set for a September 25 release, the long-awaited return of the franchise has now been bumped up to September 4 for PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Pre-orders for Onimusha: Way of the Sword are available now. Players who jump in and secure the Standard, Deluxe, or Premium Deluxe editions before the game’s release will receive Early Adopter Bonuses, including the “Sealed Curse” sword skin and “Lion Dog” charm. You can also check out the demo on all platforms (save for the Switch 2).
Players with save data from the demo can also look forward to claiming a Kubi Akari charm as a special bonus when the full game arrives.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword returns to a dark fantasy feudal Japan where samurai clash with the supernatural in cutting-edge combat. The game takes place in Kyoto during the early Edo period. Fusing history and myth, the story follows the journey of Miyamoto Musashi, a samurai armed with a mystical Oni Gauntlet, as he battles demons invading Edo-period Kyoto. Onimusha: Way of the Sword features intense action that combines the series’ signature Issen and Soul Absorption mechanics with swordplay that aims to take the combat to new heights.
