Bandai Namco Studios released Code Vein II update 2003 (v2.03) on September 24, 2026, for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. The update primarily focuses on resolving progression issues within the Mask of Idris expansion and correcting a combat timing bug affecting specific weapon builds.

Code Vein II originally launched on January 29, 2026. This latest patch follows the September 9 release of the Mask of Idris DLC, targeting specific errors that emerged following that expansion’s debut.

Mask of Idris DLC Fixes

The primary fix for the expansion addresses a navigation error in the “Heading to the Rift in Time and Space” quest. Prior to this update, map destination icons were missing, making it difficult to track objectives. Update 2.03 restores these icons to the map interface.

Combat and Trait Adjustments

The update includes a specific fix for combat responsiveness. Developers addressed an issue where attack cancel timing was delayed when players utilized a specific weapon trait. This trait allows players to equip a two-handed sword as a one-handed sword.

For players using this trait, the fix restores the intended agility of the attack-cancel window, ensuring that two-handed weapons used in a one-handed capacity perform according to the intended timing.

PC and Platform Fixes

For players on Steam, the update resolves a specific control input error. A bug previously caused the “G” key to lock Palette Menu controls, preventing players from navigating or closing the menu properly. This has been corrected for all PC users.

Summary of Changes

• DLC Quest: Fixed missing map destination icons for “Heading to the Rift in Time and Space.”
• Combat: Fixed delayed attack cancel timing when using the trait to equip two-handed swords as one-handed swords.
• PC Version: Resolved a control lock issue involving the “G” key and the Palette Menu.
