After ten years of unsure development and far too many rumours of cancellation, Nioh is finally confirmed for release in 2016 - it was originally intended to be a PlayStation 3 launch title. The slice-'em-up will now launch exclusively on PlayStation 4, and it's bringing plenty of moody tones and samurai sword fights with it.
The release got a quick gameplay trailer at Sony's Tokyo Game Show press conference, and we're quite excited to see more. Combat appears to have a weighty feel to it, while the monsters and demons on display look suitably creepy. With any luck, we'll hear about a possible localisation at some point - it's about time that we had a samurai game that isn't Samurai Warriors here in the West.

Still looks like a PS3 launch title. No thanks
This looks like the bastard child of Bloodborne and onimusha and i couldn't want it any more
@Mrskinner might want to get your eyes checked mate
Anybody getting Onimusha vibes?. I'd do anything for an Onimusha sequel or remaster.
It's Onimusha x Bloodborne x featuring a younger version of Geralt
@stevie85 You not the only one.
Looks neat. I hope it ends being an ACTUAL Ps4 exclusive and doesn't suffer any bugs or repetitive combat.
Damn I hope this comes west!
Pretty please Sony...!
That first pic in the article made me think Geralt from Witcher. Or is it just me.
Geralt as a samurai, looks fun.
@WanderingBullet Notice me, Geralto-senpai.
@Feena
Really want a new Onimusha but this will do nicely!!
Give it Sony we want it in Europe ill preorder to make it happen.
Looks like what happened to the Last guardian happened to this game, it got too big and grand for last gen, and it was lucky that someone had enough interest in it, to revive it for this generation where it is more likely to take root and develop well.
@WanderingBullet perfect summary for the trailer..
@viciousarcanum my eyes are fine thanks, i think this looks awful
@WanderingBullet Geralt pftt...you mean DoD Samanosuke!
@Mrskinner you're in the minority
@stevie85 i concur
@viciousarcanum But that character looks more like Geralt than Samanosuke…
@WanderingBullet samurai with white hair > similar facial features
