What On Earth Is Going On With Code Vein?

From PlayStation Universe: "Code Vein made its debut in May 2017 and intrigued with it clearly trying to be like Dark Souls, yet diversify itself with its Japanese style. However, since that trailer, the game has been pushed back multiple times. A firm release date of September 27, 2018, was given last June. One month later Bandai Namco delayed the game into 2019. Since the day of that delay, the game’s official Twitter account has not tweeted once. So what on earth is going on with Code Vein?"

Didn't they delay it because of early mixed feedback?

Reibooi2362d ago

@ZaWarudo

That is what I thought. I had assumed they delayed it because some people didn't like how it felt and they knew if they delayed it and took time to make it solid it could end up being something special.

Either way I hope they refine the game a bit it was certainly rough around the edges and the time the game has spent outside of the public eye could easily have fixed that. Guess the big question is what exactly the team has been doing with it all this time.

rdgneoz32362d ago

Polishing it up and avoid launching a rough game in a time frame with a bunch of big name games coming out. If they drop it soon, the earliest it'll release will probably be around April or so to avoid the next huge grouping of big name games (Feb and March).

Its Sekiro time now. Dont expect CV to make the news anytime soon.

Sono4212361d ago

I didn't I've been patiently waiting, this and Dreams are both games I feel like no one else really pays any attention to, but I am looking forward to them more then most other games.

Sophanax2362d ago

They have been tweeting fairly recently: New Year's Eve and Day for instance.

Chaosdreams2362d ago

It'll release when it's ready. I'm not overly concerned. Once God Eater 3 is released I expect the push for Code Vein marketing will pick up again.

Blu3_Berry2362d ago

They delayed it to polish it further which I'm completely ok with. I want this game to be good and become a success. I'm very much looking forward to it but in no hurry. Release it when ready.

Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?

Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.

All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.

GeeEssEff138d ago

The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.

Cacabunga138d ago

Reminds me of Doom like back in the days for every FPS game

blackblades138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Yeah, souls, souls lite, souls like same goes for rogue.

anast137d ago

It's either AI or the writer doesn't know the subject matter.

robtion138d ago

I've played all of these bar the Crab one so not a very accurate title.

Goodguy01138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.

robtion137d ago

Yes Nioh 2 in particular is great. Also Wo Long (which is basically Nioh 3).

qalpha137d ago

Should have included 'Lies of P'. Seriously fun game.

Nacho_Z137d ago

That's what I was going to say, great game. Best non From Soulslike I've played.

Code Vein has surpassed 3 million copies shipped worldwide

Code Vein Official Twitter: "Code Vein has surpassed 3 million copies shipped worldwide, and it's all thanks to you. Dear Revenants, please enjoy this commemorative illustration to show our appreciation."

GoodGuy09830d ago

Funny. I was just thinking this should get a sequel. With the souls genre being so well known now, now is a good time. Wo Long seems to have sold pretty well.

Abnor_Mal829d ago

Currently playing through the game, but I’m getting my ass handed to me at the moment with a boss fight. Two bosses at the same time, ones female fast and uses ice, while the other is a giant metal guy/robot that uses a flame thrower:

Definitely was better than I thought it was going to be, and would welcome a sequel.
