Team Ninja’s samurai Souls-like sequel, Nioh 2 is set for release on March 13th this year and is receiving an open beta this weekend from November 1st to November 10th. Much like the first game, Nioh 2 and it’s beta have only been announced for PlayStation 4. While there has been no confirmation, Nioh 2 will possibly head to PC at a later date.
In a post on Playstation Blog by Fumihiko Yasuda, the game’s producer, he gives out new information on the new character customization and the Interim-a safe zone that lets you test out weapons and moves, similar to Monster Hunter World.
Yasuda also touches on how Nioh 2 further draws inspiration from Japanese history and culture. The beta will include stages based on Sunomata castle and will feature a gorgeous environment with beautiful autumn leaves-highlighting one of Japan’s “distinct” seasons.
