Why not just wait for E3, though? If it's a big project, that would give it the most exposure.

Almost all the biggest games of the year do not unveil at E3.

Haven't all of From's biggest recent titles been unveiled at E3? My response was addressing a potential From title (not that I think this is). I would expect a big title from them to appear at an E3 press conference.

I think only Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 were revealed at E3. Dark Souls 2 was revealed at the video game awards and I don't remember when Dark Souls 1 was revealed.

After a quick search it looks like ds1 was revealed as Project Dark at Sony's TGS conference. So far it looks like many of their titles were revealed at conferences
 
I really don't think it's a From game. I don't think that's necessary for it to be interesting either though.

I'll take 2D Souls if it gets us another proper Metroidvania Souls again instead of more Corridor Souls.
Well, Salt and Sanctuary is that.

This teaseer already has a far better art style than anything in Salt and Sanctuary though (the game itself was great).
 
Honestly I'm certain this will probably be a 3D game.

What I'm concerned about, if this isn't a FROM game, is if it'll be any good.

Namco doesn't exactly have much of an Action pedigree to it. Don't really think a Souls clone with low-impact Tales or God Eater combat would resonate well at all.
 
The user also updated his twitter with a bunch of infos:

Bandai Namco's Code Vain take place in ruined near-future. Player is a Revenant that has superpower, has to coop with friends to seek truth.

In Code Vain, Revenants have superpower in exchange for most of their memory. Losing blood cause them to turn into ghosts called Lost.

Bandai Namco's Code Vain has Buddy feature where player can bring one buddy to help exploring dungeons.

Revenants in Bamco's new game Code Vain mainly use melee weapons, like Great Sword, One-Handed Sword, Spear and Hammer.

Code Vain main staffs
Producer: Keita Iizuka
Director: Hiroshi Yoshimura
Team Leader: Yusuke Tomizawa
(definitely God Eater's team)

In Code Vain, Revenants have equipment: Blood Veil which use Lost blood. Normally it acts as clothing/armor but will change form when used.

Code Vain also has Temper Blood ability where successfully sucking blood with Blood Veil gives enhancements/new actions.

Effects of Temper Blood ability differs depending on the Lost fought, from enhancing self, weakening enemy, to direct attacks.

BTW I've been using the name Code Vain, but as right now only the katakana コードヴェイン is known, maybe it could also become Code Vein or others.

Unreal Engine 4. So this'll be one of those 20 Switch games.

It's better to not start with certain statements well before things are actually announced (we already have the NIS Minecraft-clone that uses UE4 but not coming to Switch - unless it's announced for a later release, which could happen), but let's hope so :P

Wasn't even aware that game was UE4 to be honest!
 
Sounds very interesting. Basically exactly what i hoped. Unreal Engine 4 would be great, hope that if there is any kinda mobile version that it is only switch so that that won't hold it back as much a something like Vita (sorry guys, i also like my vita...) but God Eater on PC/PS4 looked really rough.
 
With the God Eater team, seems this will quite literately be anime souls then.

If they do a good job of the PC version this will make so much money there.

Wow this sounds great! I can't wait to see more!

If it's UE4 it's hard to make a terrible PC version. Especially if you are Namco Bandai and at least try to do a good job.

"God Eater team" is Shift, for now we only know it's the same Bamco producer, developer could be complety different.

Well, it's God Eater producer but probably not God Eater deceloper?.

Yeah wanted to say this, all non-mobile God Eater games were developed by Shift, the mentioned staff so far is all Bandai Namco. If that stays that way it's not the God Eater team but the publisher staff trying to do something without their previous developer.
