Nioh comes to PlayStation 4 February 2017

The hardcore action role-playing game was supposed to launch this year on PlayStation 4, but given that we’ve heard no news regarding a confirmed date over the last few months, a 2016 release was looking more and more unlikely. The game has been often compared to Dark Souls series due to its brutal difficulty but it adds some new dynamics to the gameplay by focusing on a faster paced combat with special abilities.

If you are into third-person action adventure games, with a side of swordplay, I think NiOh is something worth checking out.

Although the wait for the upcoming title is set for this Fall, these new screenshots will do a nice job in holding eager fans over until the devs announce an official release day.

Along with that demo came a number of new screenshots that, among other things, showed off two of the new Nioh characters that would be in the game. History buffs should already know quite a bit about Tokugawa Ieyasu (or Matsudaira Takechiyo). She has intense animosity for Sengoku era samurai. He will be voiced by Masachika Ichimura in the Japanese dub. Hanzo Hattori, the head of a famous ninja clan, is William’s guide through the country.
