Bandai Namco is also pulling it from Gamescom 2018 "while the improvements are made". Whether this is to preserve the ultimate big reveal, or is indicative of problems deeper than gameplay design, is unclear. However, the launch change does mean the game will no longer have to compete with the likes of Spiderman, Tomb Raider and Destiny 2, which all have games slated for release on September 28. Bandai Namco has not provided any kind of timeframe for Code Vein's appearance in 2019, but says it will be revealing future hands-on opportunities soon.
