Bandai Namco reveals a new character for Code Vein

He seems rather evil from the sounds of it.

Published 2018-04-20

Bandai Namco has revealed new info about upcoming Souls-like action-RPG Code Vein, which is coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One this year, and the new character is called Mido, with the press release having the following to say on this new face:

"Before the Great Collapse, Mido adopted orphans to conduct barbaric experiments on them and sent his "experiments" to the battlefields. For those experiments he used parts of his body as material to reinforce them and make himself a superior Revenant. A group of reinforced Revenants surround Mido and by their force, they can stop the attacks of Yakumo. Although Mido is already extremely powerful, he continues to strive for power and strength." It sounds like Mido is very much a baddie, then.

We also know some gameplay details, as Code Vein features a mechanic called Combo Drain, which is done with a weapon right after an enemy attack, and can be used after a successful launch attack to deliver more damage.

As expected, there'll be many weapons to play with, including a one-handed sword with a special attack called Sunset Sword, then Broadsword, Hanemukuro and a two-handed sword with a special attack named Zweihander. Nagimukuro and Warped Blade are "characteristic of a two-handed sword due to their great movement".

Code Vein also has AI partners with the player at all times, and a special set of "partner action" can be utilized with Mia and Louis. Also, when the player stops, AI partners look for items and enemies in the surroundings.

Do you think Code Vein is shaping up nicely?
