Team Ninja is happy about the success of Nioh on PS4. With Nioh 2 releasing next month, Team Ninja already has their sights on the upcoming PS5. The team wants to create a new IP for the PS5 similar to how they handled Nioh on PS4. Here’s the official excerpt from studio head Yosuke Hayashi:
“I believe that a new console will bring new opportunities and we would like to create a new game, a new intellectual property for PlayStation 5,” Hayashi said. “We created the Nioh series for PS4 and we would like to do the same for PS5.”
Nioh 2 releases on March 12th for PS4. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest Japanese gaming news!
