Nioh was something of a surprise hit in 2017. Many of us saw the Sengoku-era action-RPG – a brilliant fusion of From Software concepts and Team Ninja's own Ninja Gaiden – as a return to form. It's not every day that a falte...

It's here. Today finally sees the launch of Team Ninja's epic adventure sequel Nioh 2, now available to purchase exclusively on PlayStation 4. As noted by our own Jordan Devore in his review, it's certainly something special, blending a vib...

Nioh 2 has a bunch of interlocking stats and systems that can give you a much-needed edge in combat, and one of them, in particular, is worth shouting out: you gotta stay on top of your Soul Cores. It took me way too long before I realized ...

Nioh players all know and love Kodama, the little green spirits lurking around the world in easily-overlooked places, but in Nioh 2, you'll also want to keep an eye out for Sudama, the purple fellas with skull masks. You aren't meant to rou...

You know the drill in pretty much every game that features some sort of "Devil Trigger" or "Rage of the Gods" mechanic (Devil May Cry or God of War respectively). Typically you want to save this game-changing power for a tougher e...

With its Last Chance Trial now finished, showing off how Nioh 2 has changed since its early alphas, the sequel is less than a week away from dropping, kicking off a deluge of new games for 2020. Since Team Ninja takes feedback seriously, an...

We're at the point where I'm just ready for Nioh 2 to hit. It's out worldwide on March 13: that's soon! But it was also revealed with little to no gameplay in mid-2018, and outside of a very recent string of demos, we didn't get any substan...

I feel like I barely made a dent in the Nioh 2 open beta, and something tells me I'm far from alone. Thankfully, Team Ninja is giving us another shot at redemption before the sequel releases on March 13. From February 28 at 12:00 a.m. Paci...

Nioh 2 will soon be upon us (March 13) and once again it's going to be a PS4 exclusive.  How can I say for sure that Koei Tecmo is sticking to that release date? Well the game has gone gold ("master approval") and is ready for a full r...

So, Nioh is still doing quite well for itself. The fact that it exists on a platform that's selling 100 million and change helps, but it also benefits from great word of mouth. In short, Nioh is a return to form for Team Ninja and...

Nioh turned out better than I ever would've expected, and I love that we're getting an imminent sequel, but what's next for Team Ninja now that the PlayStation 4 is starting to wind down? In an interview with Eurogamer Portugal, Team Ninja'...

I'm going to spend entirely too long tuning my Nioh 2 character. That's just the way it is. If you'd rather embark on the yokai-busting adventure sooner than later, you may want to pick a preset character. Last year, Team Ninja held a conte...

Depending on how far you fell down the New Game+ rabbit hole, Nioh was the kind of game you could play for months, if not years, and still have an extensive to-do list left to chip away at. Nioh 2 is bound to be another huge time-sink, and ...

In case you haven't been following Team Ninja lately, they've been knocking it out of the park with their communication with their playerbase.  Things were touch and go for a while there with Ninja Gaiden 3 and Yaiba, but they managed ...

Nioh 2 looks like a heap of more Nioh, and while some people are going to expect substantial changes, I'm happy as is. The original game was mostly there. More ghostly monsters to fight, a full-on character creator, and a new ability (Yokai...

You might want to carve out some room in your gaming schedule. Sony just announced the PlayStation Plus free game lineup for November 2019, and it's a doozy: subscribers are getting Nioh and Outlast 2. If you're a PS Plus member, just follo...

Team Ninja is running an open beta for Nioh 2 on PS4 starting this Friday, November 1, and I figured we could all use the reminder. I'm incredibly ready to slice up more folklore-inspired creeps. I know some of you were down on the original...

[Update: The TGS demo in question can be viewed in the video below from PlayStation Access. It takes roughly 10 minutes to complete, including the boss fight.] The original Nioh could be brutal when it wanted to, especially in the New ...

Nioh 2 definitely looks good. While the visual presentation has barely changed, the gameplay looks to be a nice improvement over the original. Sporting more enemies and that neat Yokai transformation move, I'm curious to dig into the seque...

[Update: You can find the official trailer below!] Nioh 2 can't come soon enough. Okay, actually I can wait for practical reasons: 2019 is a packed year of games, and between all the time I spend with Final Fantasy XIV, WoW Classi...

The PlayStation Blog is giving us an updated look at Team Ninja's Nioh 2, and although it's mostly art related, we do get a tangible bit of info. The post focuses on the new protagonist, a "half-breed" that utilizes the power of Yokai. You ...

The Nioh 2 alpha has now come to an end. For about a week, a select few players jumped into a small demo of the upcoming sequel, provided they were lucky enough to get a code. Nioh was an important game to me, as it got me interested in the...

We're home. Team Ninja has shared its first real gameplay footage for Nioh 2 ahead of E3 2019 and I can't properly express how stoked I am to go oni hunting again. I forgot just how fast and ruthless Nioh's combat can be when you aren't abu...

Pictured: me spiritually when I think about starting another Nioh playthrough. It took me by surprise back in 2017 when it dropped at the start of the year and never really let go as the months went on. I was constantly drawn to it, wh...

If there's one thing I was hyped for and wanted to ask the community about, it was the reveal of three new, high-profile samurai games. There have been a lot of samurai games in the past, but that era not only passed, but it passed us prett...
