The trailer establishes Noah as a Revenant with a past stretching back 100 years to the Mag Mell's Research Institute. Once human, he now serves as a personal guard, fiercely loyal and prioritizing his friend Valentin's strength above all else. This dynamic hints at a companion relationship built on protection, which could translate into some interesting gameplay mechanics where Noah acts as a tank or support character.
A Deepening MagMell Mystery
With two MagMells now introduced, speculation is running high. What exactly is the Mag Mell's Research Institute, and what role did it play a century ago before the world's collapse? Noah's transformation from human to Revenant there suggests the institute was deeply involved in the experiments that created them. His loyalty to Valentin points to a shared history and a common mission in this world overrun by Horrors.
Who is Valentin?
While the trailer focuses on Noah, the emphasis on his role as a bodyguard naturally raises questions about Valentin. Noah's entire purpose seems to revolve around protecting him, which implies Valentin is either incredibly important, incredibly vulnerable, or both. We still don't know if Valentin will be a companion, a key NPC, or a quest-giver, but his connection to Noah makes him a character to watch as more details about Code Vein II's narrative emerge.
As we head toward the 2026 release, these character-focused trailers are building a compelling picture of the alliances and histories that will shape our journey through a world trying to stave off destruction.
