In a new post on the Official PlayStation Blog, Overseas Team NINJA producer Peter Garza has confirmed that Nioh is going to be released exclusively on PlayStation 4 this year. General producer Kou Shibusawa also shared some words on the upcoming release of the game.
“Now, finally, Nioh — a game created with the entire power of Koei Tecmo — will be released in 2016. In appreciation to all the fans who have waited so long, and in order to have gamers everywhere try Nioh as soon as possible, we will release the Alpha Demo this month. We hope you enjoy overcoming the challenges in this masocore take on samurai action — Nioh.”
