In the 25th century, a cataclysmic event called "The Cataclysm" turns Earth into a wasteland. Remaining humans lived on an exoplanet TRAPPIST-1e that circles around a dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, located 40 light years away from the Earth. Humans on the planet used a time machine to kidnap women and turn them into surrogates to save humanity. Violet, the main character, is one of the women. After briefly waking up on the planet, she is forced to undergo decontamination and be taken to a research facility called "Aion Bioengineering Complex". Upon awakening again, she finds herself in surrogate facility and watches her friend get eaten by a dinosaur. Violet arms herself with a knife and a gun and attempts to escape the facility, killing the attacking dinosaurs.

TeamKill Media, an American studio that previously created Quantum Error, announced the development of Code Violet on January 17, 2025, and released an announcement trailer on YouTube. The game was described as a third-person shooter horror game; its launch was scheduled for July 2025. Reportedly, the game was inspired by Dino Crisis, Dead Space and Resident Evil. TeamKill Media had chosen for the game to be released exclusively on PlayStation 5 and sold in PlayStation Store, with no PC version available. The studio said that the reason for this decision was that they wanted to avoid modders creating "vulgar versions" of the game's main character and other characters. The studio also said that it does not want users "tarnishing the reputation" of the characters' voice actors. The statement was posted on X and viewed 1.3 million times. It sparked discussions among users about the decision and criticism of the game and the studio. The price of the game was reported to be $49.99. In August 2025, TeamKill Media announced that the game's release was delayed due to its clash with the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7; the release date was changed to December 12, 2025. The studio said that as a compensation, all players will receive an exclusive Christmas-themed skins of Violet upon the game's release. In December 2025, when the game was about to be released, TeamKill Media announced that it would be delayed again due to technical difficulties with the certification of preorder and deluxe versions of the game. The date was moved to January 10, 2026. Code Violet, as scheduled, was released on January 10, 2026. On January 15, the studio released a patch after receiving negative reviews from players complaining about bugs. The patch fixed combat system, bugged items and softlock situations. The game was patched again on January 19, which changed interface and fixed several bugs. On February 10, 2026, TeamKill Media described the launch of Code Violet as an "overwhelming success" and announced that the development of the game's sequel, titled Code UltraViolet, has begun. In March 2026, a free DLC for the game was announced; Extinction Gauntlet. Reportedly, the player will be rewarded with infinite ammo cheat, new weapon and a new skin of Violet for completing it.
