Gamers eagerly awaiting a new challenging game similar to the Souls series will soon have the opportunity to delve into Code Vein 2, set to be released later this week. Serving as a sequel to the well-received original launched by Bandai Namco in 2019, this latest installment presents a fresh narrative within the existing universe. Players are thrust into a time-traveling escapade, tasked with journeying a century into the past to avert a catastrophic future.

For those who have pre-ordered Code Vein 2, immediate gameplay may be possible, while others can look forward to the official launch on January 29, 2026, at 5pm GMT. Unlike some releases that stagger launch times based on time zones, Code Vein 2 will be simultaneously available worldwide.

However, early access is feasible for players who opted for the Deluxe or Ultimate edition of Code Vein 2, granting them a head start three days prior to the standard release. The Early Access feature became accessible at 11pm GMT on January 26, offering dedicated players an advance experience.

To gain early access, players can acquire the Deluxe edition at an additional cost of £20, which includes exclusive perks such as a custom outfit pack featuring three distinct costume sets and a new weapon skin. Additionally, the Deluxe edition encompasses an expansion DLC titled ‘Mask of Idris,’ scheduled for release before January 2027.

For those eager to dive into Code Vein 2 at the earliest opportunity, the choices are clear: opt for the Deluxe edition or wait until the global release at 5pm on January 29.
