Nioh Open Beta Now Live on PS4

Nioh Open Beta Now Live on PS4

Nioh is a fascinating project from Team Ninja. It’s an action-adventure RPG with some very Souls -like mechanics. Fans of the Dark Souls series will feel right at home with the stamina management, dodging and blocking system, and slower speed of play. There’s also a pretty strong emphasis on death and dying, and you’ll level up your protagonist and save progress in a very similar fashion. Nioh does represent a unique take on the genre, though, and Team Ninja has put its own spin on it.

An early alpha build of the game was available to try in April, and was received very warmly. Today, an open beta has gone live and you can play an updated, longer demo of Nioh until September 6. Once again, players will have the chance to score some unique reward items for completing the beta level. From the press release: “The Beta Demo offers one more chance to get the Mark of the Conqueror! Simply clear the Beta Demo mission Island of Oni to get it. So those of you who missed the Alpha Demo be sure to give it a try. (Note, this is only for those who have not yet obtained the Mark of the Conqueror.)” Nioh is scheduled to release on PS4 later this year.
