These super-powered vampires, who said to have lost most of their memories and now live as part of the called Vein, will need a regular blood intake in order to avoid in turning into something creepy, which the game publisher called a Lost, the website added.

One of the highlights of the new RPG is a Buddy system that will allow players to bring an AI-controlled companion to explore the game and engage in combat using a variety of swords and melee weapons. However, the full game is apparently still ways offs, the Japanese publication Famitsu reported

According to Famitsu, the new RPG is currently at only 35 percent complete and is likely to get a release date sometime in 2018. Code Vein will run on Unreal Engine 4, a game engine developed by Epic Games that features a high degree of portability and also used by many top game developers today.

Additionally, the Japanese gaming publisher has also pointed out that the newly revealed RPG is a Japanese release aiming for a worldwide launch. The Code Vein will be officially announced on April 20, followed by a gameplay trailer in May.
