This time twelve months ago, Nioh had surpassed two and a half million copies sold worldwide, so the game has been ticking along satisfactorily. Nioh 2 also has goodies for those who played Nioh, and its story “will nicely link up to the beginning of Nioh 1,” according to producer Yosuke Hayashi. The new protagonist is half-human, half-Yokai hybrid who roams the country as a mercenary, so it’s likely that the protagonists of both games will cross paths. Moreover, Nioh 2 has an asynchronous multiplayer mode that makes other Nioh 2 players appear as helpful NPCs that will join in the fray.
