As an action RPG, its gameplay highlight lies in its high-octane and satisfying combat, where mastering the enemies' movements as well as one's own skills are the key to survival. Players can now also use blood drained from enemies to unlock more skills, and customize their weapons and abilities for a personalized battle style.

The game also adds an Assimilation feature with Partners, allowing players to merge with allies to enhance their combat capabilities. Finally, Code Vein 2 features a time travel mechanic, and as the player goes back in time to change the future, it may affect their relationships with characters while actively shaping the story.
