The game launches worldwide simultaneously on February 9 for the PlayStation 4.
Team Ninja (Dead or Alive series, Dissidia Final Fantasy arcade) is developing the game. The game received an alpha demo from April 26 to May 5, with a second beta demo running from August 23 to September 6. Those who cleared a stage of the first demo will get "The Mark of the Conqueror" DLC from the PlayStation Network once the game officially launches.
Koei Tecmo Games Europe describes the game as follows:
In the dark, fantasy action RPG 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. Players will face off against other samurai in epic 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.
Koei Tecmo Games' general producer Kou Shibusawa is working on the game. Before it merged with Tecmo, KOEI had previously announced the game, then Romanized as Ni-Oh, as a PlayStation 3 release in 2004. At the time, it was based on concepts from the late acclaimed film director Akira Kurosawa (The Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Ran).
