Bandai Namco has released new trailers for Code Vein 2, The Blood of Dawnwalker, and Digimon Story Time Stranger. As such, I’ve decided to share them all in one big article. So, let’s dive in.
Code Vein 2 aims to tell a deep and emotional story. It takes place in the future, where the world is falling apart. The last humans and powerful beings called Revenants are trying to survive. A new danger, called the Luna Rapacis, suddenly appears. Because of this, many Revenants lose control and turn into scary monsters known as Horrors. Everyone must fight to stay alive in this broken world.
You play as a Revenant Hunter, someone who tracks and fights powerful beings. You’re helped by a mysterious girl named Lou, who has the special power to travel into the past. With her help, you’ll go back in time to change important events. By doing this, you’ll learn secret information, change the fate of other Revenants, and try to save the future.
On the other hand, The Blood of Dawnwalker will be a single-player open-world dark fantasy vampire action RPG. The game will be using Unreal Engine 5, and it will come out on current-gen platforms.
In the game, you play as Coen. Coen is a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night.
Players will use their skills and combine vampiric strength with human resolve as they take on a quest to save the ones they love. They will face their foes – be they human, monster, or the ticking clock itself.
Finally, Digimon Story Time Stranger is an RPG where you solve a big mystery that takes place in both the real world and the Digital World. You will collect, raise, and train many different Digimon to help save both worlds. The game uses turn-based battles, where you and your Digimon take turns fighting enemies. It will also have over 450 Digimon and deep customization options.
Bandai Namco will release Code Vein 2 and The Blood of Dawnwalker in 2026. As for Digimon Story Time Stranger, the publisher will release it on October 3rd.
Enjoy!

Sad to see CodeVein2 bowing down for western treatment. I loved the first game. I hope rest of it is good.
Dawnwalker, despite all the hype after the CG trailer, looks disappointing. The camera perspective, combat & overall gameplay isn't what I expected.
At least Digimon is fun. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8a040996e15852eb03fd155c321a115d5199ef182b95ec02a5297034aa9fb1da.jpg
I don't think it's western as more as I think they tried to make the style more unique because honestly Code Vein can be mistaken for a lot of other games in the genre. I also do not think the change looks good but I don't think every change is bowing down in an appeal to the west. If anything I think the game and other characters shown look closer to some of the characters in the popular Chinese gacha. Maybe it's more of a bid for the expanding Chinese market or Korean since some of the dudes look like their boy band groups.
Also still kinda split on Dawnwalker and Digimon after so long will be pretty cool.
edit: there is also a QA from the developers of CV2 saying that a lot of the changes are because they want to differentiate the series from not only the same genre but from their other games I'd only assume like God Eater and Scarlet Nexus.
That's why I really hope its good. I enjoyed CodeVein. Hopefully they'll deliver. About Dawnwalker, I know they showed alpha gameplay, but its kinda odd when your gameplay is like that why throw so much story trailer and all? I don't want to blemish anyone's expectations, but I have a feeling it will be no different in the final game.
That’s fair then. I just hope it all turns out for the best as well because they are pretty consistent with this style of gameplay. With Dawnwalker, I want to be hopeful because the other big Vampire RPG is looking very shaky and suspect atm.
Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm a big vampire fan(g) 😉 & I played masquerade redemption like 20 or more times. I love this genre. Van-helsing, Castlevania Los are masterpieces & Vampyr was good too. That's why I was excited about this game like finally some true vampire game in current era. I hoped for something like witcher 3 but in vampire world, but after seeing it I was like ..(sigh). It's hard to believe you'll get something you wanted in current era.
yeah the moment i saw the game and saw the girl had no chest i was like "no b*ches" but no mamaries?"
