Nioh 2 release date, open beta detailed

The Nioh 2 release date was today detailed alongside news of an open beta coming next month.

First, players can expect Nioh 2 from 13 March 2020; ahead of that time, an open beta will be offered from 1-10 November… or late tomorrow, in other words. Perfect timing for the weekend, eh?

“All players will be able to experience new elements such as our extensive character customisation feature, our newest weapon- the Switchglaive, and so much more,” a post on the PlayStation Blog reads, detailing the open beta.

“As you begin the beta, you will enter into a place called the Interim. Unlike the dojo tutorial from the previous game, the Interim is a safe zone where you will be able to choose your weapons, test out the basic moves and transition to a real stage when you are ready.”

Expect Nioh 2 from 13 March 2020 on Windows PC and PS4. A new trailer is below.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
