An RGB samurai helmet. Imagine.

If you’re dying for some historical demon hack & dodge ‘em up action, good news.Nioh 2has announced its PC launch date. As with the originalNioh, its sequel is officially coming to PC after its tour on the PlayStation box asNioh 2– The Complete Edition. You’ll be able to nab it in February. If you do, you’ll also become the proud owner of that there RGB helmet with a disproportionately large valve on the back. It is upsetting to behold.If you’re not familiar withNiohand its sequel, they pretty comfortably fit the “souls-like” label though they do have their own twists. There’s Amrita (souls) that your earn from killing enemies and drop on the ground if you die, at which point you’re resurrected at the checkpoint shrines (bonfires). There’s swords. There’s dodging. There’s biggo bosses. It’s good fun and I quite liked the original. There are a couple new bits in Nioh 2. You’re playing as a half human half yokai warrior who can transform into a special, powerful yokai form. Ah, and there’s a character creator. I do enjoy a good face maker.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settingsAs for what’s going to be special about the Complete Edition on PC, Koei Tecmo say it will support 4K resolutions, ultra-wide displays, HDR monitors, and 144Hz monitors.

Itadded mouse & keyboard supporta few weeks after launch, but it’s nice to hear Nioh 2 won’t have the same wait. It was a real personal grievance for me, clearly.Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition will include the game’s three DLCs. You can snag it overon Steamwhen it launches on February 5, 2021 for £50/€60/$50.It will also have that special Steam-exclusive Valve Helmet.
