Bloody and brutal samurai slice-'em-up Nioh has sold over one million copies worldwide, Koei Tecmo has announced. The figure includes both physical units and digital downloads, and for a rather niche PlayStation 4 exclusive that's only been on the market for just over a couple of weeks, that's not a bad number at all.
Even better is that you'll be able to celebrate the game's success with free downloadable content - namely a set of armour dubbed 'Golden Nioh Armor'. The cool-looking gear will be included in update 1.04, which is apparently due to release later today.
Are you happy for Nioh? Are you enjoying Team Ninja's latest? Carefully circle your opponent in the comments section below.

Congrats to the developers! Looks amazing and I will definitely play it!
The gift that keeps on giving! Well deserved success. I've already sunk in over 100 hours.
Keep coming back to it, as NG+ is so easy to jump into.
Didn't want to go for the platinum but every day I keep getting closer and closer...
The game certainly deserves it, nice to see lesser known titles being more successful these days.
Nice. This game has received a much better reception than anyone ever expected, I think. Surely the exposure from the playable alpha and betas helped.
Well deserved! Hopefully the number continues to climb, so we get a sequel in a few years! I really enjoy the fast paced, challenging combat.
Great news for a solid new IP.
The armor looks quite heavy and I doubt I can wear it soon since I choosed the Onmyo path. At the moment my William is wearing pyjamas pants, a clown's jacket with pom-poms and sandals with socks!
Very well deserved and considering the stock shortages, very impressive too. Love this game so much.
Fantastic news! Sadly this is another game I just don't have time for at the moment but will be hoping to pick it up at some point.
I'm in the first mission after the tutorial! Today will be an all nighter of this...Wish me luck
Im ashamed to say i gave up! I couldnt take the dying anymore it was a hard choice between having a working tv or having a broken tv. I chose the working tv and nioh is now sitting on a shelf at Game.
Koei and Ninja Theory are great, while I have skipped the game so far I'll buy eventually.
@AlejandroMora waiting a new Ninja Gaiden =|
@andreoni79 Just respect dude if you want to give the new armour a try. I bet they nerf Sloth although in new game plus it is needed.
That game one of my favs of all time. The gameplay is outstanding fun. #NiohGOTYCompetitor
Been trying to decide between getting this or horizon. My favorite games right now are bloodborne and souls types of games. So I'm thinking I'm going to go with this and get horizon later. 👍
@GraveLordXD I played the open beta a little bit, had to work that weekend so I only got to check it out for a very small amount of time. What I'm wondering about is how the drops are...can any mob drop high end equipment? Or do a certain type drop a certain item, therefore weapons and armor can be farmed? I have no problem with farming items, just wondering...
@GraveLordXD thanks for the info. Definitely gonna get this game. I guess in a way it's nice they didn't do loot exactly the same way as souls. Doing things it's own way, not trying to be a carbon copy. But thank u for a great explanation.
