Bandai Namco Reveals Mask of Idris DLC for Code Vein 2

The move signals a push to boost replay value with larger post‑campaign story content.

Overview

  • Bandai Namco announced a paid expansion called Mask of Idris for Code Vein 2 and a companion free 2.0 update in materials published July 1, 2026.
  • Mask of Idris is set in a new Forsaken World where converging timelines threaten the main story and features returning characters Lou MagMell and Liv Voda as allies.
  • Access to the expansion is explicitly gated to post‑campaign players and requires the Luna Fraterna ending plus completion of the sub‑mission 'Valentin’s Request'.
  • The DLC is included in the game’s Deluxe Edition, which adds roughly £20/$20 to the PS5 base price, but Bandai Namco has not announced a standalone price or a release date.
  • The free 2.0 update will add post‑game gameplay and partner exploration to all players, marking a shift from the title’s earlier cosmetic DLC toward larger narrative and gameplay updates.
