About the PS4-exclusive gaming title

First released in February 2017, "Nioh" is an action role-playing game developed and published by Team Ninja for the Sony’s PlayStation 4 consoles. The game is set in Japan during the year 1600 within a fictionalized dark fantasy version of the late Sengoku period when Japan was in the midst of civil war.

The game’s story was based on the life of Williams, the game’s main protagonist. Players guide the main character William on missions through enclosed environments, fighting both human adversaries and supernatural creatures. Gameplay focus around navigating levels and defeating supernatural creatures that plagued the area.

The game was first introduced by original game developer Koei in 2004. Originally planned for October 2016 release, Nioh was delayed to make way for some last-minute adjustments, as a response to some players feedback. Nioh was among those games that have supported the PlayStation 4 Pro model, which featured some graphical improvements.

"Nioh" is currently available on Sony’s PS4 consoles only.
