Ahead of the Code Vein II launch, we’ll be able to make our avatar with a Character Creator Demo. Bandai Namco confirmed that will show up on January 23, 2026. This won’t be a full gameplay trial, and primarily is designed to help get ourselves settled ahead of the full launch a week later.
The announcement image highlighted what we’ll see in it. It will be possible to use the full character creator for the game. The person we make can then be exported and used in a full copy of the game. To ensure the person looks how we want in action, we’ll be able to wander around the Magmell Institute hub as our avatar. Photo Mode will be available during this part.
We do already know what the character creator in Code Vein II will look like ahead of this demo release. Back in December 2025, Bandai Namco shared a trailer dedicated to customizing an avatar. This allowed us to see different facial feature selections for both body types, hairstyles, the color palettes available, and the different types of outfits and accessories we could select. Here’s that video, in case you missed it.
We’ll also get different kinds of Blood Codes to alter how our characters work.
Code Vein II will come to the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on January 30, 2026, and the Character Creator Demo will debut on January 23, 2026.
