Team Ninja’s dark supernatural samurai video game Nioh, which we last reported on back in September, will finally be released this year after being announced over a decade ago, as confirmed in a post on the PS Blog.
So although we don’t yet have a firm release date, we can rest assured that we’ll be seeing the PS4 exclusive hack and slash RPG, which is based on a screenplay by the great Akira Kurosawa, releasing within the next eight months. If you can’t wait that long to swing your katana at demons, a demo will be available from April 26 to May 5. They’ve also put out a new trailer which shows some of the monsters that you can expect to slay in your journey across 16th-century Japan.
From the Press Release:
Today we announce the upcoming release of a downloadable demo for samurai-centric, dark fantasy action RPG, Nioh. Developed exclusively for release on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Alpha Demo for Nioh will be available for download and play via the PlayStation™Network Store only between April 26 and May 5.
Aiming to challenge players in a unique way that heightens their sense of accomplishment, this Alpha Demo will offer a rare chance to experience the deep and authentic samurai combat of Nioh and allow access to special rewards! Limited to those who play through the demo, this opportunity will allow players to download exclusive in-game content upon the game’s official launch.
