I don't thinks this is worth a new thread so...bump.

Sony publishes both games outside Japan and has an involvement on the production(Q&A, translation, marketing and other stuff).
They probably pay to stay out of PC for a year tho.
Yup, super gross move by them.
- Players that own Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition on PS4 can upgrade to Nioh 2 Remastered – The Complete Edition on PS5 at no additional cost.
- Players that own Nioh 2 on PS4 can upgrade to the base game – Nioh 2 Remastered on PS5, and receive the PS5 version of any DLC expansions they own on PS4.
Wait, am I reading this wrong? If you own Nioh 2 without the DLC, you can pay an upgraded Nioh 2 Remastered without the DLC on PS5, right? Sounds standard.
No, paid upgrades are not the standard nor should they be. The upgrade should be free for vanilla owners.
I misspoke. I meant that you do NOT have to pay. Per your quote: " Players that own Nioh 2 on PS4 can upgrade to the base game Nioh 2 Remastered"
What about this implies you have to pay an additional fee?
I think the confusion is because they mention "no additional cost" only for the complete edition.
It will be absurdly cheap: 110 yen for the base game + 22 yen for each piece of DLC.
And that's for Japan. We don't really know how it's going to work for other territories.
I'm so psyched for this since Nioh 1 was one of my fav games of last gen and the only disapointing aspect was the resolution it ran at on PS4 Pro in performance mode. Playing this at 4k/60 is going to be so fucking good.
I'll probably just buy the complete collection to get both games for PS5. I still have to play Nioh 2, I was waiting because of the Pro fan noise issues.

Sounds good - I never bought Nioh 2 because I was hoping they would do something like this for PS5.
I'm still not paying full price for it though- will wait for a sale.

Only Nioh 2, probably since it's more recent and they feel more pressure of giving the upgrade for free since people are still buying it and content is being released for it.
Ooooooh okay now I get it. So i'll preorder the Complete PS5 collection and trade in the copy of Nioh 2 I have right now. Thanks for the info.
Nioh 2 is on sale for $10 NOW at all major retailers if anyone wants to grab it before the free upgrade in February.
It's not quite free in Japan (but still very cheap). We don't really know about other territories.
$10 is an absolute fucking steal for my current GOTY runner-up, the amount of content you get for $10 is ridiculous...
So it appears there will be a physical edition outside of Japan after all, but so far only the NA box art have appeared. Nothing for Europe yet :/
Damn i'd get it for $10 but when the update rolls around i probably wont have a 120 monitor for it. I only have my 144 gsync that only has 1 displayport :(.
110 yen to upgrade the base game, plus 22 yen for each DLC.
This is nothing like control.
They are giving you a PS5 upgrade for exactly what you own on PS4.
I've never played Nioh and I'm even more unsure about where to start now. I have a PS5 DE, so
- I could buy Nioh PS4 for around £17 (the Complete edition is currently on sale). But no upgrade path.
- I could buy base Nioh 2 on PS4 (currently on sale for around £30) and wait for the upgrade, but we don't know if it will be free.
- I could wait and buy Nioh 1 or 2 Complete editions on PS5 for £50
- I could buy the complete collection on PS5 for £70 (probably not doing this).
Maybe I read wrong, but everyone gets their free update for PS5 respective to their bought version. So if you buy Nioh Complete for PS4 now, you get that for PS5. Also for Nioh 2.
Note that it's almost free in Japan: 110 yen for the base game and 22 for each of the 3 pieces of DLC.
The DLC unlocks three new regions (the base game has 6-7 of these) and three new, harder difficulty levels (plus two new weapon types and some other stuff). Basically, if you end up liking the base game enough to keep playing a lot after being done with the final boss, you'll want the DLC.

Thanks for this. I think I'll get base Nioh PS4 as the lowest priced point of entry and then if I like it I could get the sequel on sale on PS4 and upgrade it.
Awesome. Also means no Nioh 2 for me until February though. Initially I was just waiting for PS5 for better performance through BC.
Every PS5 game gets a new/duplicate trophy list, even if you can transfer your save file.
I wonder if they allow for trophy list syncing like No Mans Sky, or if there's a hard cut like Borderlands 3.
Been wanting to get the Digital Deluxe Edition, and it's on sale for the Black Friday PSN sales. It's a only $5 dollar price difference here in Canada compared to the Nioh 2 Complete Edition. So my question is:
For real I just want the Demon Horde Armor Set for transmog. If the NIOH2:CE has these and I'm guaranteed a free upgrade path I'll grab that. But if the DE entitles me to the same PS5 upgrades for free, that's the one I'll get due to the sale.
- Is it worth getting the DE instead of the CE?
- And does the CE come with these bonus items that the DE has?

I'm pretty sure that picture you posted was what you could get for pre-ordering the game. The Deluxe Edition comes with the Season Pass, the Demon Horde weapons and a Kodama Netsuke charm.
The Complete Edition will have both sets of bonuses (... well, maybe not the theme and the PSN avatar set mentioned in that picture, actually). So you should probably wait for that one. In fact, if you just want the armor set, you don't have much of a choice.
Ay, thank you bro for that awesome clarification! I'll wait until the Complete Edition comes out in February.
Have a blessed day!
...WEll then.
I own Nioh 1 physical. Nioh 2 is $10 at Best Buy right now. It's Season Pass is $20. Seems like a good time to get it while taking advantage of that free upgrade.

You need to own the DLC to get them for the PS5 version.
So basically you only get what you own.
