Nioh Apha Demo Launches on PS4

Koei Tecmo today announced the launch of the Alpha Demo for its dark, samurai action RPG, Nioh. Developed exclusively for release on the PlayStation 4, this limited-time demo is only available to play and download via the PlayStation Store from today until May 5th.

Between April 26th and May 5th, gamers have a chance to experience the dark setting and samurai combat of Nioh via access to two stages. Upon coming ashore a small island near the village of Usuki, in the first stage the player encounters the remains of a fishing village set aflame by a mysterious invasion. In the following stage, demonic beings from the Yokai realm run rampant in Dazaifu, which has controlled western regions since ancient times.

All players who complete a stage of the demo will be rewarded with ‘The Mark of the Conqueror’ DLC from the PlayStation Store, which will contain exclusive in-game content for Nioh at launch.
