Code Vein

Developer: Shift
Publisher: Bandai Namco
Platform: Windows
Released internationally: September 27, 2019


MovieIcon.png This game has unused cinematics.
ItemsIcon.png This game has unused items.
Sgf2-unusedicon1.png This game has unused abilities.
TextIcon.png This game has unused text.


Hmmm...
To do:
  • There's lots of untranslated Japanese text, particularly script notes for the ingame dialogue, which should be translated and put on the site.
  • There's unused blueprints and such for a debug menu; can it be reactivated, or has the code for making it do anything been removed?
  • The Queen's Knight has animations for walking around with the shield held up which I don't think are used.

Code Vein is an anime-esque Souls-like spin-off of the God Eater series. Despite being the first entry in the genre for Shift, it received an unexpectedly warm reception and managed to sell over two million copies in its first two years.

Unused Cutscenes

Early demo versions of Code Vein began with the area which in the final game became the Memories of Player, with the Queen's Knight as the first boss. Later in development the beginning of the game was moved to the Ruined City Underground, so this cutscene (identified internally as "Battling the Queen") which originally would have begun the game ended up unused. A remnant of this intention in the final game is the way the opening cutscene where the protagonist meets Karen is initially shot from their perspective; the medical form she hands them would transition to character creation, after which the camera cuts to a different angle and pans up to show their face.

This cutscene of Gregorio giving a speech became a memory vestige in the final game.

Unused Graphics

These unused icons appear alongside the icons for the existing status ailments in the game (venom, stun, leak, inhibit and slow). The player weapon definition files refer to four status ailments, three of which can be tentatively identified with these icons. (The fourth, StaminaCostUp, doesn't seem to relate to either of the remaining two.)

Icon Speculative Purpose
CV unused status icon 1.png Possibly a blood loss effect, since this symbol is used elsewhere to represent the blood element.
CV unused status icon 2.png Possibly a sleep or confusion effect.
CV unused status icon 3.png Might be referred to in the player weapon definitions as AttackPowerDown, identifying it as an attack-down debuff.
CV unused status icon 4.png Might be referred to in the player weapon definitions as DefensePowerDown, identifying it as a defense-down debuff.
CV unused status icon 5.png Might be referred to in the player weapon definitions as ProhibitUseHealItem, identifying it as a debuff that locks out the player's ability to regenerate.

Unused Items

Weapons

Many of these seem like boss weapons the player can never acquire.

  • The Tyrant's Kopis may be one of the knives wielded by the Insatiable Despot before being welded to the stick through its chest to form the Tyrant's Labrys.
  • The Queen's Knight, Gilded Hunter and Queen's Knight Reborn use the Knight's Word, Gilded Voulge and Knight's Answer respectively.
  • The Successor of the Claw drops the Blazing Claw on defeat, but not the smaller Inferno Claw which can also be seen on her back.

In addition, the Pike of Thralldom would be a third "useless" weapon like the Pipe of Thralldom and Hammer of Thralldom the player receives at the start of the game.

Cut Gameplay

In the final game, the only mode of multiplayer gameplay is cooperative; the host summons a guest to assist them through the level, and both are rewarded for success with a Mark of Honor. However, leftover data suggests the developers originally intended for competitive multiplayer, where hunters summoned either by a player activating one of the Trials of Blood located throughout the game or by detecting a distress signal would be tasked with defeating the host while guardians could rush in to defend them. Successful hunters and guardians would have been rewarded with the Broken Fang and Bloodstained Dog Tag items, which are unused in the final game.

The reward tiers for companions are used in the final game, but the other reward tiers are inaccessible.

Domino's Pizza Promotion Leftovers

Hmmm...
To do:
Upload the actual audio.

Early footage of the game shows a Domino's Pizza logo in the Home Base, apparently a promotion which fell through when the game was delayed from 2018 to 2019. These voice lines are also left over, but how exactly they would be used is unclear. It is however very funny to imagine that a pizza franchise happened to survive the apocalypse and adapt to cater to a world of revenant vampires.

One line (Mia's first) has no subtitle in the game's localisation file.

Coco Amazing... And they still manage to turn a profit. That's quite a business.
I wonder if they have a book I can study.
Davis Pizza really depends on the crust. The type you choose changes it entirely.
I suggest trying the phyllo crust. Biting through all those layers is really satisfying.
If you don't believe me, try it for yourself. One bite is sure to convince you.
Eva They're the perfect size for eating on your own, and easy to pack up and travel with too.
They might be good to take on explorations. I just hope the aroma doesn't draw the Lost like it does me.
Io That aroma... I've never smelled anything so tasty. This world is full of surprises.
My stomach is growling... I cannot hold back.
Let's hurry up and eat while it's hot.
Jack The flavor, the thickness of the crust, even the way the sauce was spread...
You can see the soul of an uncompromising artisan in this pizza.
Louis We've got pizza? I'm always surprised by how many options they have at this place.
They must have experimented with a lot of different flavors before they settled on these...
What we have now is the result of a lot of hard work and care. We should enjoy it.
Mia Pizza on its own is kind of... lonely, so I always choose a couple of things to have on the side.
Oof. All this talking is making me hungry... Let's dig in, shall we?
Murasame It doesn't always turn out that great, but it's a good way to discover new flavors, so I'm gonna keep trying!
Yakumo Alright, it's here! Been looking forward to this. Especially that crust... Fluffy, chewy... perfect.
Go on, grab a slice. Dig in while it's still piping hot!
