Samurai Action RPG Nioh Makes a Return to PS4 for a Limited Time Next Month

Reforged

by Robert Ramsey Tue 19th Jul 2016

Back near the end of April, Koei Tecmo released a playable demo for Nioh on PlayStation 4, and the whole thing ended up generating a good amount of hype for the samurai styled action title. With its prior success in mind, the Japanese publisher has slapped a launch date on the game's second demo, which will be available from the 23rd August until the 6th September on Sony's console.

The upcoming 'beta demo' will feature a training stage where players can learn the ins and outs of Nioh's hardcore combat system, and there'll be a bunch of new weapon types for you to discover. We actually quite liked the previous demo and came to the conclusion that the project has real potential, so here's hoping that this second look boosts our confidence in Team Ninja's creation further.

Will you be sharpening your blade for Nioh's return? Cut your foes to ribbons in the comments section below.

I was hoping we'd get a beta I'm looking forward to trying this game again I had my head into Dark Souls for the Alpha so it will be nice to give ot a try without playing dark souls alongside it.

i like the idea of a dark souls-ish game, but this is koei tecmo. they're known primarily for hacky slashy games and one fighting game. i would've expected them to have made a hacky slashy fighting game by now, like a spiritual sequel to samurai showdown, but with disintegrating clothing.
