Completing the expansion unlocks ‘Another Color’ outfits for all 14 available buddy characters. Simultaneously, the free 2.0 update has launched, incorporating several community-requested features: • ‘Era of Harmony’ (also referred to as ‘Age of Harmony’): Post-game content allowing players to explore the world with buddies to earn new Blood Codes, featuring short episodes for each character and new stories to deepen partner bonds. • ‘Trials of Recollection’ (or ‘Trials of Remembrance’): A boss-rush mode where players face bosses from the base game and the DLC to earn over 90 customization parts. • ‘Story-Focused Mode’: An optional setting to boost player stats and ease combat difficulty. • Visual and Media Enhancements: A ‘Legacy’ shader to mimic the original Code Vein art style, an enhanced Photo Mode, and a Jukebox featuring tracks from the Code Vein and God Eater series. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-09: Bandai Namco releases Code Vein II DLC and free update Bandai Namco has released the ‘Mask of Idris’ DLC and a free 2.0 update for Code Vein II, adding new story content, partner characters, and post-game exploration features. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bandai-namco-releases-code-vein-ii-dlc-and-free-update ### 2026-09-05: Code Vein 2 announces Trials of Remembrance Battle Rush mode Code Vein 2 announces the ‘Trials of Remembrance’ Battle Rush mode, arriving September 9 with Update 2.0 and the Mask of Idris DLC on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/code-vein-2-announces-trials-of-remembrance-battle-rush-mode ### 2026-09-01: Bandai Namco announces Code Vein II DLC and free 2.0 update Bandai Namco will release the ‘Mask of Idris’ DLC and a free 2.0 update for Code Vein II on September 9, featuring new story content, a boss-rush mode, and quality-of-life improvements. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bandai-namco-announces-code-vein-ii-dlc-and-free-20-update ### 2026-08-22: Bandai Namco announces Code Vein II expansion Mask of Idris Bandai Namco announced that the Code Vein II expansion ‘Mask of Idris’ will launch on September 9, 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, featuring new post-game story content and a free 2.0 update. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bandai-namco-announces-code-vein-ii-expansion-mask-of-idris ### 2026-08-20: Bandai Namco announces Code Vein II Mask of Idris DLC release Bandai Namco will release the Mask of Idris DLC for Code Vein II on September 9, 2026, alongside a free version 2.0 update for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. 19 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/code-vein-ii-mask-of-idris-dlc-set-for-september-9-release --- Cite as: Bandai Namco releases Code Vein II DLC and free update.
