And of course it's a damn heavy armor :(

GG to theteam, they deserve it and much more, Nioh is a great franchise

The thirst for samurai action is real

Ferrs · May 15, 2020

Cool! I hope it keeps doing well, it's an awesome game. GOTY so far.

Scarface · May 15, 2020

Very glad to see this.

SlasherMcGirk · May 15, 2020

Already live too.

Waiting for PC version, no double dip from me this time.

Yeah it will sell like hotcakes on PC

Ferrs · May 15, 2020

Oh, new missions? awesome, jumping back tonight!

Jeremy · May 15, 2020

My favorite game this year... The co-op is awesome. I love how much it feels like Monster Hunter now...

1st solo play took me about 100 hours (NG+ ~another 25).

Bring on that Season Pass.

Jarod McChicken · May 15, 2020

An even better game than the first one. Ready for Nioh 3 on PS5 <3

MeltedDreams · May 15, 2020

Doing pretty well, huh? Congrats to Team Ninja. Nioh 2 was the only game i purchased at release this year.

GamingCJ · May 15, 2020

Huh?
I remember the sales threads on Era saying the game flopped.

Pretty sure they said they want to move on with a new IP after this.

Simuly · May 15, 2020

It deserves it.

Res · May 15, 2020

New missions? Sweet

TheRealTalker · May 15, 2020

I hope it continues to sell well and surpasses Nioh 1's total sales

How is the coop difficulty compared to Nioh 1 which was too easy?

Ditto. In the end I barely played the game on PS4.

KillLaCam · May 15, 2020

Need that PC version nowwwwwww

Haha, I'm not so sure about this, check this video at 50:50 with the subtitles.

Goro Majima · May 15, 2020

1 million is good, but deserved much more. Nioh 2 is awesome, my GOTY so far.

Depends on who you pair with, really... but it's definitely not the most challenging way to play (I did a solo run first before I went into co-op). Since the game turns into a Diablo-style loot runner in the post-game, I am fine with bulldozing through the levels with random people online, though.

Also, once the DLCs come out, the harder difficulties will be added ...

Snowfruit · May 15, 2020

I can't stop playing it, pretty sure I've already put more time into it than the first Nioh. Hope more people give it a chance when it comes to PC.

Imran · May 15, 2020

Give me more cool ninja outfits, Team Ninja.

crimilde · May 15, 2020

So glad to see this. Love the game. Congrats Team Ninja!

sredgrin · May 15, 2020

Finding 2 to be quite a bit more fun even if it's not a massively changed game. Fixes a decent chunk of the issues I had. Do wish I had held off for the inevitable PC version given it is kinda butt ugly at times on base PS4.

Oregano · May 15, 2020

That's a good number, but it definitely looks like it's moving slower than the original.

Koei Tecmo announced 1m sales for the original Ni-Oh about 2 weeks after launch.

Nioh worldwide sales top one million

Total retail and digital sales for Nioh have topped one million units worldwide, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja announced.

www.gematsu.com

Still Team Ninja putting out two million sellers in the space of year(twice this gen) is really impressive.

Now we wait for Xenoblade Warriors and Ni-Oh 3 to both top a million copies in 2023

:( I had high hopes for a 2 main characters sequels, oh well

ReDelicious · May 15, 2020

Nice. I'll add to that number once it hits PC.

Mifec · May 15, 2020

How long after the PS4 version did the PC version for the first game launch?

mogster7777 · May 15, 2020

Slightly off topic but is there any way to get rid of all the junk loot I won't use faster after every mission. The only problem I have is I spend 15-20 min after each mission sorting loot, pressing triangle to highlight what I don't need and then disassembling in one go. It takes a while.
mostly get rid of stuff but few things I keep. This was a problem with the first game too.
Usually a playthrough from a mission I have 100+ items I picked up.

I need it too!

I'm slamming my head on Nioh 1 Way of the Demon right now.

Mifec said:

I think it was like 6 months, probably more.

Exactly 9 months.

7th February 2017: Released on PS4

you have the option to select all objects up to any level in rarity, it was also present in the first game. IT's with the central panel on the DS IIRC

What happens there? They just seem to be talking about demos!

amnesties · May 15, 2020

really really want to buy this but yea if there's dlc coming i'll wait for the complete edition. might just get it on PS5

dancingphlower · May 15, 2020

That's great news! I really need to get back to Nioh 2 but FF7 Remake on Hard Mode and Persona 5 Royal will be taking most of time for the near future unfortunately :(

Kodama4 · May 15, 2020

Amazing story for this little known franchise that launched then became a fan favorite and guaranteed 1 million seller.

Samiya · May 15, 2020

Can't wait for the PC version, Nioh 2 looks like such a substantial upgrade over the first one.

Ocean Bones · May 15, 2020

Very happy about it. The game deserves that and much more.

J 0 E · May 15, 2020

This game deserves success.

Love the new armor (refashioned my current one to this look) and photo mode works great and can be saved to shortcuts like options + touchpad.

Acidote · May 15, 2020

Hello volvo, call this people we want this on steam.

Do I have to do this each time or will it save this setting? Also I might still keep yellow items as I find some have useful abilities. Is this even worth doing or should I only keep blue purple and above?

Razmos · May 15, 2020

Hearing that the game is better than the first one is making me THIRSTY. Might order it now so its here for when I finish FF7R

Falus · May 15, 2020

It goes along with a patch 1.09
