Team Ninja's new game is called Nioh. Here's the first trailer!
TrailerTeam Ninja's new samurai action RPG, Nioh, had been in development hell for more than a decade before it was re-introduced at last weekend's PSX. Originally announced as "Akira Kurosawa's Oni," the game is finally once again seeing the light of day under a new title and on a new platform. Nioh is coming exclusively to the PS4.
At PSX, Sony showed off the very first trailer for the game, which features a lot gameplay footage:
You may notice that this looks a lot like the Dark Souls series, but Team Ninja has been making the kind of challenging action RPG that makes you cry for many years. The Ninja Gaidenseries is a classic "throw your controller at your TV screen" example.
We don't know too much about Niohexcept that it follows the story of a samurai. Which is cool since samurai don't get a lot of attention in video games. Should be an interesting story angle.
No release date for this one yet, but we'll let you know when we hear more.
