*Code Vein II* isn’t just another action RPG—it’s an invitation to craft your own legend before the story even begins. Bandai Namco has released a free Character Creator Demo, letting players design and refine their Revenant Hunter on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The demo arrives just days before the full game’s January 30 launch, offering a rare preview of the deep customization system that will define how players approach the time-bending adventure.
The demo strips away the main narrative to focus on what matters most: appearance. Players can tweak everything from armor and weapons to facial features and hairstyles, with dozens of options to mix and match. What sets this apart is the ability to save up to 64 unique looks—each stored in a dedicated slot—and transfer them directly into the full game upon launch. No need to start from scratch; your customizations carry over seamlessly, provided you’re using the same platform and account.
Beyond pure customization, the demo includes two interactive elements. The first is an exploration of the MagMell Institute, a hub from the game’s world where players can move freely and test their designs in a semi-playable environment. The second is Photo Mode, a static showcase that lets players pose their Revenant Hunter in dynamic stances, perfect for sharing on social media or saving as a keepsake.
While the demo doesn’t include full gameplay mechanics or combat, it serves as a technical and creative teaser for the full release. The full game, arriving on January 30, will expand on these tools with additional customization layers, including weapon abilities and companion systems. For now, the demo is a chance to experiment—and ensure your Hunter is ready for the battles ahead.

For those eager to dive in, the Character Creator Demo is available immediately, with no additional cost. Whether you’re fine-tuning a battle-ready Revenant or just experimenting with styles, it’s a rare opportunity to leave your mark before the adventure begins.
