'Nioh' Release Date, Pre-Order News And Update: PS4 Dynamic Theme Offered?

PlayStation has shared the good news about the pre-order bonuses for "Nioh," a role-playing game developed by Team Ninja.

The "Nioh" will be released on Feb. 7 next year, but the pre-order has already across platforms. When it launches, people can choose between the Standard Edition, which includes the full game, as well as the Digital Deluxe, which includes the full game, weapon pack with five new weapons and the PS4 Avatar.

However, the good news is those who will pre-order either of the two editions will get the Nioh armor that can be equipped in-game. The armor is inspired by "ancient statues that stand guard at temples across Japan." Aside from that, they can also get a dynamic theme for "Nioh" for PS4.

Game director Yosuke Hayashi said in the PlayStation blog that Team Ninja created the game to be very challenging. That means a lot of hours have been invested on its difficulty.

"For example, we had an enemy that throws a quick jab at you and causes immense damage, and it was difficult to avoid and defend against," he said. "So now these enemies may still attack you with the same level of damage, but we redesigned the movement of the jab itself so that it gives players a split second to dodge or block."

In related news, when you pre-order "Nioh" for the Digital Deluxe Edition, you can the Crimson Master Armor, as well as another armor reportedly similar to the one worn by legendary samurai Yukimura Sanada. This bonus will only be valid for the first two weeks of purchase, however.
