We’re planning to release a total of three sizable & badass DLC batches over the next several months to provide you guys with additional challenges to keep you on the edge-of-your-seat. There will be new storylines, new yokai, ferocious new bosses, Guardian Spirits, new skills, fresh armor and a new weapon that alters the performance of skills outside of set stances. 

On top of all that, new difficulty levels and end-game content will be added to allow the campaign to grow longer, giving you guys even more content to start your summer gaming adventures!

I’m happy to announce that the first of these thrilling DLC packs called “The Tengu’s Disciple” will kick off on July 30.

Also, as an added bonus we have prepared brand new wallpapers inspired by the upcoming DLC to keep you guys motivated as you wait for the new chapter to arrive in July. We hope you will be pleased with what you see!

Speaking of the upcoming DLC chapters, here are some clues and context into the storyline of the continuing Nioh 2 saga.

A great battle has taken place at Yashima in the late Heian period. As a visitor in Yashima, our protagonist finds a shrine possessing a mysterious whistle called the Sohayamaru. Upon inspection, the whistle shines radiantly as the shadow of Yokai can be seen lurking in the background. It is revealed that whenever wars take place, heroes wielding the Sohayamaru will head into battle in order to restore peace back into this land.

More in-depth details regarding “The Tengu’s Disciple” will be released in the coming months, so please stay tuned.

Key Features:

• Sharpen your skills: Prepare for the fight of your life with revamped mechanics that build on the fan-favorite elements of Nioh, requiring your full concentration and skill. 
• Choose your method of combat: Follow the way of the samurai with traditional weapons including swords and hatchets, or fill your Amrita gauge to wield mighty Yokai abilities and destroy monstrous foes via a variety of mighty attacks.
• Improve your weapons with the Yokai Shift: Filling your Amrita gauge doesn’t just give you access to a powerful Yokai form, but also allows you to increase the stats of various weapons and add extra buffs, such as staggering foes and grappling downed enemies.
• Help – and get help – from other players: Call upon the spectres left behind by other Nioh 2 players to aid you in combat. Their spirits will assist you until the end of the current level… or until they’re defeated.

Nioh 2 is currently available for PS4.
