But with all these Soulslikes emerging since Code Vein‘s 2019 debut, Bandai Namco Studios has of course been keeping an eye on the competition ever since Code Vein 2 got underway in 2020. Code Vein 2 has a new protagonist, story, and more mechanics to get acquainted with, but it looking quite similar to the first Code Vein in its debut trailer is by design so as to capitalize on what worked.
“We certainly look at a lot of the other Soulslikes for research purposes, but we can never forget what that Code Vein likeness is, so we’re always trying to identify where those strengths are,” Code Vein 2 producer Keita Iizuka said (via a translator) during our Summer Game Fest interview.

I probably played the original too much in the 2 or 3 years following its release. I’m sure I’ve put over a thousand hours into the game. I collaborated with a small group of other dedicated fans on builds and understanding the mechanics long after the masses moved on.

It’s good to know that they have an ear to the pulse of the genre. It’s also a shame that they seem to be abandoning where the original was going story wise. I’m going to wait and see this time around. I don’t know if I’m ready to spend that much time on CV.
