Bandai Namco Studios released Code Vein 2 Update 2003 (v2.03) on September 24, 2026, for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. The update primarily resolves a combat timing bug affecting specific weapon traits and restores navigation elements for players progressing through the “Mask of Idris” expansion.
Combat and Trait Adjustments
The core fix in this patch addresses an issue with attack cancel timings. When the trait to equip a two-handed sword as a one-handed sword is active, the update corrects a delay that occurred when attempting to cancel attacks.
- Two-Handed Sword Trait: Corrected the delay in attack cancel windows, restoring responsiveness to this weapon style.
- Input Consistency: Fixed an issue where offensive actions would not transition properly into defensive maneuvers while the specific heavy-weapon trait was equipped.
Mask of Idris Expansion Fixes
Players navigating content within the “Mask of Idris” expansion, which launched on September 9, 2026, will see a fix for a map progression hurdle. The update restores missing map destination icons for the quest “Heading to the Rift in Time and Space,” ensuring objectives and pathfinding markers are visible on the world map.
Platform-Specific Improvements
Update 2003 includes targeted fixes for the Steam version. On PlayStation 5, the update is identified as version 2003.000.
- Steam (PC) Control Lock: Resolved a bug where pressing the “G” key while using a keyboard and mouse would cause the Palette Menu to freeze, locking player controls.
For players on all platforms, these changes are mandatory for online play and will apply automatically upon launching the game client.
