Hey folks! It's Tom from Team Ninja to give you a quick update on Nioh 2. To kick things off, I'd like to share with you the latest key visual showcasing our new protagonist. As you may have been able to detect from the visual, our central character is a half-breed. He is part human as well as possessing the extraordinary power of the Yokai. As a samurai warrior, his journey takes us through the treacherous Sengoku period of Japan. And his transformation from human to fiend will take him deep into the Dark Realm of the Yokai. I promise you that this metamorphosis will be spectacular and result in some truly intense action.

I also wanted to thank you and briefly let you know that we had a really productive alpha demo session back in May/June of this year. Over 50,000 players took part in this closed demo worldwide and nearly 18,000 participants responded to our survey afterwards! The overwhelming majority of opinions were very positive and supportive of the demo as we received tons of comments and constructive feedback for us to analyze. And since then, we have been hard at work to process all of that data and make the necessary adjustments to create an even more exceptional experience. Thanks again to everyone who participated in the alpha demo survey. We can't wait to share the progress with you guys!

Speaking of which, we will be showing off a brand new consumer demo at the Tokyo Game Show 2019 in September. I can't really disclose the specifics at this point, but more details will definitely be coming down the pipe soon. So stay tuned Yokai hunters! And prepare to unleash your darkness as Nioh 2 is on the horizon!

I never got into Nioh, but, I might give it a second go after seeing this key art

Also, I can't unsee it but the guy on the left in this photo looks photoshopped, just... look at his head...

ClarkusDarkus · Aug 22, 2019

Really enjoyed the alpha, The new changes was welcome especially the 3 player yokai realm!

gitrektali · Aug 22, 2019

Really liked Nioh, and I hope they've addressed the two main concerns most people had with the first one, i-e, enemy variety and bland level design.

Fatoy · Aug 22, 2019

Those snake boobs are ridiculous.

Having played the alpha, it looks in-game to me.

All of these shots are from the alpha, in fact.

I think you got cut off when posting.

I ended up enjoying Nioh way more than I had expected and my hype for the sequel is pretty high right now. I thought Sekiro would ruin it for me but I ended up preferring Nioh more, surprisingly.

Enforcer · Aug 22, 2019

Is this still scheduled for a 2019 release?

It's looking like an early 2020 game.

Thorn · Aug 22, 2019

Other demon forms are confirmed right?

Acquiescence · Aug 22, 2019

I see those snake titties and my mind wanders places.

Deleted member 15973 · Aug 22, 2019

We need an article on the breast size of that snake

Deleted member 8196 · Aug 22, 2019

modiz · Aug 22, 2019

headspawn · Aug 22, 2019

It can't be at all comfortable to drag across the ground with massive snake tiddies like that.

Game looks wild. I'm looking forward to that guy in the last shot just murdering me over and over.

The alpha was very enjoyable, can't wait for the game. Now if only they'll release an artbook covering both games...

Yeah it's very unrealistic.

Why isn't she wearing a bra at least?

Thorn said:

Yes, there were quite a few different demon forms in the Alpha. All corresponding to the different Guardian Spirit/element you equip.

Soulstar · Aug 22, 2019

You can make a female playable character in this right? The way he phrases it in the blog post makes it sound like you have a set male protagonist.

Igniz12 · Aug 22, 2019

KT love their big titties.

KillLaCam · Aug 22, 2019

I hope we get a release date soon

Yes, you can, like, we even could in the alpha.

I really hope we get a release date soon. Correct me if I'm wrong but I swore when Nioh had it's first alpha, we already had a release date.

Fulminator · Aug 22, 2019

So you actually play as a Japanese person this time around?

There will be an in-depth character creation this time. So if you want to be, you can.

Oh, nice

Zhao_Yun · Aug 22, 2019

I always forget that this game exists even though I really liked the first game. Maybe the game is finally in a state that they can start giving more constant updates after TGS.

I feel like it's been a bit weird with this game.

E3 2018 announcement.

Radio Silence.

Alpha announcement with a quick release

Radio Silence

New Key art with the promise of information.

I mean sure they don't need to be constantly announcing stuff but it has been odd.

Dalik · Aug 22, 2019

No mention of pc version yet? Ugh

Jafku1 · Aug 22, 2019

they haven't given a release date yet right?

dancingphlower · Aug 22, 2019

Played the alpha and walked away feeling like it was more Nioh. Was hoping for more of an overhaul to the loot system but overall the game feels very similar. At least this time you won't have to play as an ugly white dude.

Pandora012 · Aug 22, 2019

Man i was hoping for news. The alpha came and went. Wonder if we can get this game early 2020. Maybe feb.

Deleted member 679 · Aug 22, 2019

Can't wait to play this in my home, room or the living room.

They probably announced it too early last year.

TitlePending · Aug 22, 2019

If this and Ghosts of Sushima launch in 2020, I'll be in samurai heaven!

Sanox · Aug 22, 2019

Really wanna know about other new weapons.

Beta was great

Xenosaga said:

I think you might be right. Only reason why I could think they announced it at E3 2018 was because since it's currently a PS4 exclusive, they knew that Sony wouldn't be at E3 2019. *shrugs*

Xenosaga · Aug 22, 2019

I think they will announce the release date at TGS.

Yossarian · Aug 22, 2019

I need to get around to finishing Nioh...

Falchion · Aug 22, 2019

Holy shit that demon looks amazing.

That's what I thought, thanks.
