Agreed. Namco is already releasing their Souls series on Xbox whre it sells pretty well, I see no reason why they won't release this on Xbox too, considering they've been implying it's aimed at a similar audience.

Also, I just remembered that when Phil Spencer went to Japan the last time to talk to Japanese devs, he mentioned that he stopped at Namco Bandai and that he saw a new JRPG while he was in Japan, I have a feeling that was this game. He most likely convinced them to release it on XB1 while he was there. 

The Soul series is designed to appeal to western taste but with Japanese game design. Code Vein is "no secrets" anime based Japanese game. Why use Soul series a metric and not the fact that this team's or ANY of Bamco's anime games arrived on XBOX?

Code Vein is definitely anime styled, but it's definitely a darker game and they've stated it's going to be a very difficult action RPG. That's why the Souls comparison is being used.
