The previous major Nioh 2 update, update 1.09, introduced 9 new missions, which are unlocked through story progression, as well as the Maniki Armor set, released to commemorate the game selling 1 million copies and a Photo Mode.
Nioh 2 is now available on PlayStation 4 worldwide. You can learn more about the game by checking out our review.
When looking back at how ambitious the first Nioh was, playing through Nioh 2 feels like a more polished experience, offering new tools to play with and enemies to slay. This could be the start of a brand new samurai Souls series and I would be all for it. If you loved the first Nioh, there's more than enough reason to pick up a katana and embrace your inner yokai.
