The new Nioh DLC is due for release later this month! Defiant Honor is free to Season Pass holders or can be bought separately for $9.99.
The second piece downloadable content for Nioh, following Dragon of the North, sees new difficulty levels and trophies as players partake in an intense battle at Osaku castle.
Tecmo Koie explains:
“This add-on features the legendary warrior Sanada Yukimura, serving Tokugawa Ieyasu’s archenemy Toyotomi clan, who values honor above all else. As tensions brew between the Tokugawa and Toyotomi clans, Sanada Yukimura prepares his men for imminent conflict against the Tokugawa’s forces by building a stronghold called the Sanada Maru on the outskirts of the Osaka Castle. With the castle fortified, Tokugawa’s forces were faced with a difficult and bloody challenge.”
The Nioh DLC PS4 update will be available to download on July 26.
If you’ve not yet experienced Tecmo Koie’s hard-as-nails action role-playing game, you should check out the Nioh review. We rated is as one of the best games on PS4 in 2016.
As well as having a co-op mode, and the ability to summon other player’s avatars in a fight, the latest Nioh update, 1.07 introduced an online PvP mode.
