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.","whyItMatters":"The Ver.2.0 update's Story-Focused Mode and Character Shader directly address player accessibility and visual continuity, signaling Bandai Namco's response to feedback on Code Vein II's difficulty and its predecessor's aesthetic.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMask of Idris play conditions:\u003c/strong\u003e Reaching the second ending \u0026#34;Moon of Harmony\u0026#34; in the main story and progressing to the quest \u0026#34;Exchange Opinions with Valentin: Book of Mag Mell Island\u0026#34; are required before the DLC can be played.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate color buddies:\u003c/strong\u003e Clearing the DLC unlocks alternate color versions of all 14 characters, including Riva and Lou.
