CODE VEIN Release Date Moved To 2019

In a rather surprising turn of events Bandai Namco Entertainment have announced that CODE VEIN, which was originally announced as a 28th September 2018 release for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC, has now been pushed back to a ‘yet to be announced’ 2019 release.

According to a statement released by Hervé Hoerdt, Vice President Marketing and Digital at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe, the release of CODE VEIN has been pushed back to allow further development to be made so that it offers a refined experienced.

“CODE VEIN has received an enormous amount of positive feedback from eager fans who have received hands-on time with in-development versions of the game over the past nine months. Armed with knowledge of how well the game has already been received, we made the decision to postpone the release of CODE VEIN to further refine its gameplay in an effort to exceed the expectations fans already have of the title. It was a difficult decision to make, but we feel it is the correct one.”

What’s surprising about this announcement is that a playable build of CODE VEIN will not be playable at Gamescom, which takes place in August; despite the fact that the game has been playable at various events in the past – including both E3 and MCM Comic Con.

For the time being CODE VEIN is now a tentative 2019 release with further release details to be confirmed at a later date.
