Code Vein: Deluxe Edition, launched in 2019, is an action RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world. It is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Microsoft Windows).

In Code Vein, a mysterious disaster has brought the world to its knees. Towering skyscrapers are now lifeless monuments pierced by the Thorns of Judgment. At the heart of this destruction lies Vein, a hidden society of Revenants struggling to survive. These Revenants possess extraordinary powers known as Gifts, obtained in exchange for their memories and a thirst for blood. Should they fully succumb to their bloodlust, they risk transforming into the Lost, becoming mindless ghouls driven only by an insatiable hunger.
