Code Vein II hands-on report

Code Vein II maintains the core elements of its predecessor, but it feels more like a standalone action-RPG than a sequel. That’s because it greatly expands on the series’ combat systems and ideas to offer a huge amount of customization, while telling an all-new story about vampiric characters called Revenants that’s not linked to the […]

Bandai Namco, who publishes FromSoft's Souls games as well as Elden Ring, dropped an anime-style version of the genre in 2019's Code Vein, and now it's back for more in Code Vein II.We spent a few hours with the next Code Vein adventure during The Game Awards week, and we came away impressed with its impr

'It's Coming to a Turning Point': Persona, Metaphor Director Says Atlus RPGs Must Attract 'A Wider Audience'

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Dev Doesn't Just Want To Be People-Pleaser With Next Game

In fact, the RPG wasn't just GameSpot's Game of the Year, but also made history at The Game Awards. This all means expectations will be sky high for the developer's next project. However, Sandfall wants to avoid appealing to the masses and continue focusing on "what we think is cool."Speaking with Edge magazine, Sandfall lead writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen noted that "it's
