Unlike the first game, unfortunately, Code Vein 2 will not support multiplayer co-op. This is solely a single-player game where you can have an AI companion. The first Code Vein allowed players to join their friends’ worlds and play alongside them, so if enough fans are upset about this change, then perhaps they may add co-op in a future update.

Code Vein 2 takes place in a world where humans and people called Revenants co-exist. These Revenants have transformed into Horrors, described as mindless monsters, and as a Revenant Hunter, your job is to eliminate a threat that could destroy the world.
Meanwhile, it contains Souls-like combat where you’ll be reading your enemy’s moveset to beat them using an arsenal of unique skills. Like many games in the genre, you’ll get the chance to fully customize your build and weapons, too.
