Team Ninja’s Nioh 2 is carving up some of that sweet TGS 2019 attention by serving a chaotic new trailer, release date and much more.
Koei Tecmo announced Nioh 2 at PlayStation’s E3 conference last year and has been mostly silent on the project since then. The U.S PlayStation YouTube account briefly uploaded the TGS Nioh 2 trailer before removing it quicker than “that other Destiny Child’s member” we all can’t name.
But, this is the internet folks and once something is on there, it’s on there. The hunting & gathering days are over, some YouTubers have ripped the trailer and have reuploaded for everyone to watch.
The trailer gave a release window of early 2020 with fresh footage There’s a lot of fire, slicing and dicing of new monsters complied with foreign words I don’t understand. Check it out below.
