Is Code Vein Similar to Dark Souls?

After releasing the "Prepare to Dine" teaser one might think FromSoftware is somehow is involved in this upcoming game by publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment, but said project is from the makers of God Eater team renamed Project Vein. 

The look and combat gameplay though bear resemblance to the notorious Darksouls series, people are already comparing the two. From its first teaser trailer, you might have guessed it could be seen as a mobile-based game or card game. 

Now that it is officially named as Code Vein, it is a darker tone God Eater and the character armor designs are somewhat a mixture of anime Tokyo Ghoul and the vampire aspects of Blood+. Both developers are sharing the same publisher, Code Vein does not seem to be related to Dark Souls at all. 

Here is the official trailer "Blood Lust" of Code Vein, an action RPG on Unreal Engine 4 unleashing its claws in 2018 on consoles.
