This news also follows a recent trailer that dropped last week, showing some awesome action as the main protagonist transforms between human and Yokai to take on the horrors that they face. The game’s run at Tokyo Game Show also confirmed some level of character customization, multiplayer cooperative play, stacking difficulty, and the rough release date.
If you haven’t heard of Nioh then you’ve got time to catch up. Nioh is set in the set year 1600 and follows the journeys of William, an Irish sailor who pursues the sorcerer Edward Kelley into the final battles of the Sengoku period. The appearance of Yokai thrusts players into a hardcore battle against these evil spirits and features some notoriously tricky combat. After a massively successful launch, it was only a matter of time until the sequel got here.
