Second Demo for Nioh Coming August 23rd

Koei Tecmo today revealed new information on the second demo for the samurai action RPG Nioh, exclusively for the PlayStation 4. This Beta Demo will be available via the PlayStation Store from August 23rd until September 6th, after which point download and play of the demo will be disabled.

Following the success of the Alpha Demo in April, Nioh returns with a Beta Demo featuring more gameplay. New challenges await players who venture deeper into the ominous world of Nioh, and in turn, new ways to conquer foes emerge. The long-range hand cannon rifle allows humans and Yokai alike to be taken down with a forceful blow, and a fresh selection of Katanas, Spears, Axes and Hammers will provide players with new options to suit their gameplay style. Among the demo’s locales is a new dojo stage which teaches players the basics of the game’s fast-paced combat system. Players will also be able to explore a to-be-announced stage in addition to the Usuki stage featured earlier this year in the Alpha Demo.
