Code Vein 2: Rev Up Your Hype Engine with Motorcycle Forma Reveal!
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Bandai Namco dropped a *Code Vein 2* producer diary showing off a Motorcycle Forma (yes, really), leaving us simultaneously intrigued and slightly bewildered, but mostly hyped. We're also getting another look at *Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream*, featuring Alice.
Right, so Bandai Namco's got another peek behind the curtain for *Code Vein 2*, and this time they're showing off something… unexpected. Forget the blood-soaked anime-vampire aesthetic for a minute; we're talking motorcycles. Yup, you heard me. Motorcycles. It's all thanks to the latest "Producer Diary" video, courtesy of IGN South Africa, which is less about exposition and more about 'look at this cool bike thing we made!'
Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Jeff, motorcycles? In a game about Revenants battling in a ruined world?" And fair dinkum, it *does* seem a bit… out there. But here's the thing: the first *Code Vein* had a certain charm precisely *because* it didn't take itself too seriously. It was like Dark Souls cosplaying as anime, and it somehow worked. So maybe, just maybe, this motorcycle malarkey will also find a way to be utterly bonkers and brilliant at the same time.
The video itself is short and sweet, focusing on what they're calling the "Motorcycle Forma." Basically, it's a fancy way of saying your character can manifest a motorcycle. We don't get a whole lot of detail about how it'll actually *work* in the game. Will it be purely for traversal? Will it be weaponized? Will there be motorcycle combat? So many questions! Bandai Namco, you're killing me here with the suspense!
Of course, the video also features a quick glimpse at *Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream*, specifically a trailer highlighting the character Alice. I'm not entirely sure what that's doing there beyond brand synergy, but hey, I'm not complaining. More anime-inspired goodness is always welcome.
Look, it's easy to be cynical about these kinds of reveals. We've all seen games promise the moon and deliver a slightly dented cheese. But there's something about *Code Vein's* inherent weirdness that makes me willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. A motorcycle Forma? It's either going to be the coolest thing ever, or a spectacularly hilarious failure. Either way, I'm here for it. And who knows, maybe the inclusion of motorcycles points to a larger, more open world to explore? A fella can dream, can't he?
So, keep your eyes peeled for more *Code Vein 2* news. And if you see me riding a motorcycle through the apocalypse, you'll know it all worked out in the end. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find a leather jacket and practice my engine revving noises.
