It&#8217;s a post-game story that takes the Revenant experience somewhere genuinely new \u2014 a parallel realm called the Forsaken World \u2014 and it brings a brand-new partner and a pair of fresh weapons along for the ride.<\/p>\n<h2>A World Forged From Vanished Timelines<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/code-vein-2-combat-gameplay.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Code Vein II combat gameplay \u2014 Revenant in action\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Image courtesy of Bandai Namco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Forsaken World is described as &#8220;a setting forged from the converged passions of worlds that vanished due to historical alterations.&#8221; At its heart churns the <strong>Spindle of Pathos<\/strong> \u2014 a colossal vortex that draws emotions from across time and space, threatening to break through into the real world. The expansion&#8217;s story runs entirely separate from the main campaign, though it picks up in the aftermath: you&#8217;ll need to have reached the <strong>Luna Fraterna ending<\/strong> and completed the sub-mission <strong>Valentin&#8217;s Request<\/strong> to unlock the new content.<\/p>\n<p>The narrative leans into Code Vein II&#8217;s strength \u2014 layered lore delivered through partner conversations and environmental storytelling \u2014 with the alternate timeline premise giving Bandai Namco room to introduce characters who couldn&#8217;t exist in the main story&#8217;s continuity.<\/p>\n<h2>Meet Liv Voda, Guardian of Time and Space<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/code-vein-2-forsaken-world-dlc.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Liv Voda in the Forsaken World \u2014 Code Vein II Mask of Idris DLC\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Image courtesy of Bandai Namco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The expansion&#8217;s centrepiece partner is <strong>Liv Voda<\/strong>, a former guardian of the Temporal Rift whose combative personality shifts dramatically as her emotions surge. Her combat style centres on the <strong>Chariot Rave Formae<\/strong> and a halberd, rewarding aggressive play in the tight corridors of the Forsaken World. Alongside Liv is <strong>Lou MagMell<\/strong>, a mysterious revenant whose true intentions remain deliberately unclear \u2014 a nice bit of narrative tension to carry through the expansion.<\/p>\n<p>For weapons, the DLC adds the <strong>Grave Knocker<\/strong> (a martial-arts Formae built around aerial kick combos) and the <strong>Sword of Karma: Idris<\/strong> (a flame-imbued great sword with extended hit chains). Both are tuned for the DLC&#8217;s new enemies, but will carry over to post-game exploration of the main world too.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v9szRIm0w5U\" title=\"CODE VEIN II \u2013 Mask of Idris Teaser\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>CODE VEIN II \u2013 Mask of Idris Teaser \u2014 via Bandai Namco Entertainment America on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Free Version 2.0 Update for All Players<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/code-vein-2-gameplay-scene.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Code Vein II gameplay \u2014 partner exploration\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Image courtesy of Bandai Namco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re not buying the DLC, <strong>9 September brings a free Version 2.0 update<\/strong> for all Code Vein II owners. The headline feature is post-game partner exploration \u2014 you can freely roam the main story&#8217;s maps with your partner characters after finishing the campaign, opening up new conversations and collectibles that were previously inaccessible. Bandai Namco has said more details on Version 2.0&#8217;s full feature list will be announced closer to release.<\/p>\n<h2>Availability and Singapore Pricing<\/h2>\n<p>Code Vein II is already available on the <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/game-news\/\">Singapore PlayStation Store<\/a> with a Standard Edition at <strong>SGD 89.90<\/strong>, a Deluxe Edition at <strong>SGD 119.90<\/strong>, and an Ultimate Edition at <strong>SGD 139.90<\/strong>. The Mask of Idris expansion is included with both the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions \u2014 so if you bought either of those, the DLC is already in your library on 9 September at no extra cost. Standard Edition owners will be able to purchase the expansion separately; specific SGD pricing for the standalone DLC has not yet been confirmed by Bandai Namco.<\/p>\n<p>The game and DLC are also available on Steam and Xbox Series X|S worldwide. If you haven&#8217;t jumped in yet, September is a good time \u2014 Version 2.0 lands day-and-date with the expansion, and a full post-game to explore makes the package considerably more substantial than at launch.<\/p>\n<p><!--GT-SCOUT source=\"Web (English)\" theme=\"Video games\" flags=\"standalone DLC SGD price to be confirmed\"--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bandai Namco&#8217;s first major expansion for Code Vein II drops 9 September on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC \u2014 here&#8217;s everything you need to know about the Forsaken World, Liv Voda, and the free Version 2.0 update launching the same day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8329,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[11],"tags":[94,202,1282,325,64],"class_list":["post-8333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-action-rpg","tag-bandai-namco","tag-code-vein-ii","tag-dlc","tag-ps5"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/code-vein-2-mask-of-idris-dlc.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p13AlF-2ap","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6835,"url":"https:\/\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/dragon-ball-sparking-zero-neo-dlc-live-switch-delay-2027\/","url_meta":{"origin":8333,"position":0},"title":"Dragon Ball: Sparking!
