Code Vein II Adds New Weapons and Martial-Arts Formae

Combat flexibility in Code Vein II reaches new heights today with the introduction of martial-arts Formae and a fresh suite of exotic weaponry. Headlining the additions is the Grave Knocker style, an aggressive hand-to-hand martial discipline that allows Revenants to weave lightning-fast punch flurries and heavy shockwave strikes directly into their weapon chains.

Also debuting in today's patch is the Sword of Karma, a two-handed curved greatsword that inflicts bleed damage and accumulates power as the player successfully parries incoming enemy assaults. When fully charged, the blade unleashes a devastating crimson crescent projectile capable of cleaving through multiple heavy enemies simultaneously.

Additional weapons include dual ceremonial daggers with aerial follow-ups and high-velocity bayonets with modified elemental cartridges. These additions offer seasoned players extensive build craft opportunities to counter endgame bosses in new and creative ways.
