Thanks Reddit. Tweet supposedly deleted immediately.

Nioh 1 was already great, it just suffered a bit from pacing issues and lack of enemy variety. If those two things are addressed, then great.

 

[Patitoloco]

Wait, was it announced before?

EDIT: Yes, last E3, I didn't remember.

 

[Aniki]

Not much to make from that tweet. Still, more Nioh is all i want.

Yep

 

[kadotsu]

I just need a more enemy types and more varied locations. The rest is already top of class.

Era -> internet -> Era.
On topic now: what if nioh 2 releases this year?! It would be crazy.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

I was a bit disappointed that we did not see any Nioh 2 news during TGS but good to hear that it's apparently progressing well.

 

[Richter1887]

First one was really great so no surprises here.

 

[RestEerie]

yah but how great?

 

[Indelible]

Sounds good, reminds me that I have to finish Nioh.

 

[AzureFlame]

The 1st game was a masterpiece, the only thing I want more is more and more diffrent enemies.

 

[Mediking]

What exactly do we know about N2?

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

More weapons and more enemies would be pretty sweet. Maybe less forge grind too.

 

[MrS]

Nioh was great and I've no doubt 2 will be even better. Day one.

More unique weapons and less Diablo loot would be my preference but I doubt they'll go that route

 

[Kilic95]

With less William, I have no doubt it's gonna be great!

 

[Oreiller]

I mean, Nioh was already great so it doesn't really surprise. I only hope the forge stuff will be less convoluted and time consuming (more enemy variety too pls).

 

[Dphex]

hopefully the difficulty is akin to the first Nioh Alpha..the Betas and the final release were severely toned down in difficulty and enemy placement. this time i want the original developer vision and not some player feedback version

 

[Mechaplum]

Love the boss fights, so bring it on. Also fuck wheelmonks.

 

[GamingRobioto]

Loved the first, more of the same but better sounds fantastic.

 

[WellbornWarrior]

I'm confident they iron out the kinks of the first game that were already mentioned here.

I just hope it's more focused this time. The game was far too fucking long.

 

[Kazuhira]

That reminds me that i have the complete edition but i haven't touched it yet.
Maybe after i finish REmake 2.

That it would have character customization, other than that nothing solid.

 

[stat84]

Finally something new about this game.I hope it's this year

 

[Deleted member 22585]

The first game consumed me. I'm afraid of the second game.

 

[Muntaner]

The big problem of the first game was its weak story/protagonist. I hope this gets an huge improvement in 2.

 

[newmoneytrash]

I found the first game to be too long and repetitive but I will buy a sequel day one

I actually had no idea that this had even been announced

 

[monmagman]

What platforms is this one coming to?

 

[eXistor]

Pretty much what expected then.

I had to stop playing Nioh, I found it to be too repetitive, but it controlled like a dream. If they can fix the issues, it should indeed be great.

 

[salary0n]

Nice, nioh is one of best game in the combat mechanics, it feels really great to pull a perfect ki pulse.

 

[dreamfall]

I need it badly. Nioh was so damn good. I hope this can release on the PC alongside with the console without delay!

If they're already doing press hands on, it'll most probably release this year.

 

[The Almighty Tria]

Just give more enemy variety and a nice little hub town and itd be PERFECT

 

[GamerForever]

Better than the first, SOLD

 

[@dedmunk]

Will this be a playstation exclusive?

 

[Acquiescence]

Why wouldn't it be?

Most likely PS4+PC if Sony is publishing it again.

Only PS4 confirmed thus far, but I guess there will be a PC Version as well.

 

[Dark_Castle]

One thing I really hope Nioh 2 improved on, apart from enemy variety, is the ability to filter through loot better (not just by item rarity, but by more specific details on item affixes or types), and making character building less revolved around set items but individual items. I remembered getting really annoyed that to push through late game content, I pretty much have to use set items. This is like Diablo 3, I really don't like that. Prefer to be able to mix and match different items and still viable instead of being pushed to wear 5 or 6 piece of a set equipment.

 

[ThroughtheVoid]

First Nioh is the best Souls-like made, so I've faith in the sequel. Hopefully it can release sooner rather than later.

Highly possible, as they've already confident in showing the game to people. Even let them hands-on.

 

[SweetSark]

It seems I need to play Nioh as well.
I will wait when it goes cheap.
So many games I need to try first and I am happy for this.

 

[Deleted member 45414]

I was surprised by how good the first game was (though I never beat the final boss) so I'm genuinely looking forward to Nioh 2 :)

 

[KiLAM]

Apparantly? Nioh was amazing so it's hardly a surprise that 2 is great.

Spoiler

But I am boycotting the game if they don't remove sloth

 

[Eumi]

Nioh 1 is great, so this shouldn't be a surprise.

 

[Mifec]

It needs to improve on enemy variety and level design by a substantial margin. I could kinda forgive the shitty loot system but those two deffo need to be improved.

Amazing combat system and if they add to it I'm sure I'll love it even more.

 

[Jimnymebob]

This is good to hear.
I really enjoyed what I played of the original; my only complaint was that a lot of things felt needlessly convoluted.

 

[okcoolmax]

i just want better level design, graphics and enemy variety. Gameplay was superb.

 

[ToKre]

the game had some loot drops issue , one mission leaves you with a HUGE mess in your inventory , enemies variety was an issue to me also, the rest was great and if they make it open world it would be better imo.
