Game publisher Koei Tecmo America and developer Team Ninja recently released new screenshots of upcoming Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition.
New screenshots were recently uploaded by the developers featuring the many boss battles that players will encounter in the game. The images also include how the weapons are being handled in the game especially with the newer ones included in the new DLC expansion packs.
Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition allows players to enjoy its gripping narrative through the eyes of their own half-human, half-yokai custom character, as they begin their journey as a mercenary for hire in Mino province. After succumbing to darkness whilst losing control of their yokai powers, the protagonist encounters a wandering ‘Spirit Stone’ merchant by the name of Tokichiro – who soothes the protagonist’s abilities with his mystical goods. As they both set out in search for the next Spirit Stone buyer, fate throws them into an encounter with none other than Oda Nobunaga himself. The two set off to take the Sengoku period by storm, raising the curtain on the tale of “Hideyoshi”.
The grand narrative reaches greater heights in Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition, as once players finish the base campaign they will be able to continue their adventure in the DLC expansion packs: “The Tengu’s Disciple”, “Darkness in the Capital”, and “The First Samurai”. These expansions not only add new narrative to Nioh 2, but also include a wealth of new weaponry, armor, and challenging new foes that will put even the greatest player’s skills to the test.
Before their journey begins, players will be able to select from one of 16 different weapon types, with each weapon offering their own unique playstyle. The two weapons introduced in the DLC expansions — the Splitstaff and the Fists — will be available from the start of the game alongside the Swords, Dual Swords, Spears, Switchglaives, Axes & Hammers, Kusarigamas, Odachis, Tonfas, Hatchets, Bows, Hand Cannons, Rifles, Yokai Weapons and Blessed Weapons. The variety of selectable weapons all feature their own in-depth skill trees, offering players deep flexibility to adapt the playstyle of each weapon in their favor.
Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition will launch on February 5, 2021 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, and PS5.
