Koei Tecmo Announces Nioh for PS4

At the recent PlayStation Experience event in San Francisco, Sony Computer Entertainment America and Koei Tecmo announced that Nioh, a dark, samurai-centric action RPG, will be coming to the west exclusively for the PlayStation 4. Nioh has been in development under the direction of Kou Shibusawa, Hisashi Koinuma, and Team Ninja.

In Nioh, players will traverse war-torn Japan as William, a blonde-haired swordsman whose background as a fierce warrior and seasoned knowledge of the blade allows him to survive in the demon-plagued land of the samurai. Known as Yokai, these demons inhabit a number of dangerous locations and lie in wait in the shadows to ambush unsuspecting victims. Players will also face off with other samurai in supernatural sword battles and intense, multi-target engagements offering a level of difficulty that will truly test even the most hardened samurai’s skills, patience, and strategy.
