Mask of Idris is a paid expansion DLC for Code Vein II, set to release on September 9 alongside a free Ver.2.0 update. The DLC adds a new story set in the Abandoned World, new companions, and an alternate color version of all 14 characters upon clearing the DLC story.
Bandai Namco announced the expansion DLC Mask of Idris for Code Vein II on August 20, with a release date of September 9. The DLC is set in the Abandoned World, a space formed by the emotions of worlds erased by the history-altering events of the main game. The story follows a battle to save another world, joined by two new companions: Liv Vorda, the half-sister of vampire Valentin Vorda, and Ruu Magmel, a lone vampire girl. Access requires reaching the second ending and completing a specific quest.
A free Ver.2.0 update releases the same day. It adds the Age of Harmony, a post-ending mode set after the ending A Miracle Called Fate, where players explore with a buddy and complete short episodes for each character. A Story-Focused Mode strengthens the player character, and a Character Shader option lets players switch between Original and Legacy appearances. The update also includes the Trial of Memories, a consecutive battle mode with over 90 new customization parts, new Photo Mode poses and frames, and a returning Jukebox.
Code Vein II is available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed new screenshots for the paid expansion DLC Mask of Idris for Code Vein II, along with details on the free update Ver.2.0, both scheduled for release on September 9. The DLC is set in the Abandoned World and features a new buddy character, with an alternate color version of all 14 characters unlocked after clearing the DLC story. The Ver.2.0 update introduces the Age of Harmony, a post-ending mode set after the ending A Miracle Called Fate, where players can explore the world with a favorite buddy and complete short episodes for each character to obtain new blood codes. Players can transition to this mode from a special vestige in Mag Mell using save data that has reached the ending. The update also adds the Trial of Memories, a consecutive battle mode against previously fought bosses and enemies, with over 90 new customization parts as rewards. Yadviga, a buddy character who wields a greatsword, becomes summonable after clearing her episode. A Story-Focused Mode strengthens the player character for easier battles, and a Character Shader option lets players switch between Original and Legacy appearances, the latter closer to the original Code Vein. Photo Mode gains over 30 new poses and 20 new frames, and the Jukebox returns with tracks from Code Vein, Code Vein II, and the God Eater series.

Bandai Namco Entertainment announced on August 20 that the expansion DLC 'Mask of Idris' for 'Code Vein 2' will release on September 9. The announcement came via the official PlayStation Japan X account, which shared a trailer and a PlayStation Store link. The DLC is set in the 'Abandoned World,' a space formed by the emotions of worlds erased by the history-altering events of the main game. These distorted emotions swell and begin to affect the real world, and the story follows a battle to save another world alongside new partners. Two new companions join the protagonist: Liv Vorda, voiced by Aoi Yuki, the half-sister of the vampire Valentin Vorda and the original overseer of the 'Hollow of Time and Space,' who abandoned her duties out of boredom; and Ruu Magmel, voiced by Manaka Iwami, a lone vampire girl working to stop the Abandoned World's expansion. To access the DLC, players must reach the second ending 'Moon of Harmony' and complete the quest 'Exchange Opinions with Valentin: Magmel Island Book.' A free update, Ver.2.0, will release the same day, adding post-main-story exploration with partners. 'Code Vein 2' is available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
