Bandai Namco published the official launch-trailer article on August 26, 2026. It reinforces the confirmed September 3, 2026 release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The official product information describes Coen as human by day and vampire by night. Player actions, inaction, quest timing, and discoveries can change how the story develops.
What the trailer confirms
The trailer presents Coen's journey through Vale Sangora, a fictional valley in 14th-century Europe. The setting is under the control of a vampire order, and Coen's goal is tied to saving his family. Official descriptions identify the game as a single-player, open-world dark-fantasy action RPG.
Coen's condition is more than a visual change. During the day he uses human abilities, while at night his vampire form opens different powers and routes. The official material also emphasizes directional combat, supernatural abilities, exploration, and decisions that change later outcomes.
Release and platform context
The confirmed launch date is September 3, 2026. The announced platforms are PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S; the checked official pages do not list PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions. All announced editions use the same launch date, and no official edition advertises early access.
Regional storefronts can display a different calendar date when a global unlock time crosses a time-zone boundary. That does not by itself establish a separate release. Buyers should use the date and time shown by the official store for their own account region.
What the trailer does not establish
A launch trailer is first-party promotional material, not an independent review. It does not confirm a Metacritic score, review verdict, review embargo time, final frame-rate target, or complete PC performance profile. Those topics remain unconfirmed unless a platform holder, publisher, reviewer, or finished release supplies direct evidence.
The trailer also does not provide a complete map, final completion time, or full list of romance and customization options. This guide keeps those gaps explicit instead of treating edited footage or genre conventions as proof.
