Team Ninja's Nioh already has a reputation for brutal difficulty before it's even released, and the studio isn't planning on changing that.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."

Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
The ninja gaiden games are way harder than the souls games,ninja gaiden 2 especially,on the harder difficulties will make you hate the game.
Cannot wait for Nioh. It's so good.
Another Beta in August? Just give me the game!!!
I agree with this move. Thank you.
That first demo felt SUPER dry. And was difficult for the sake of being difficult, not for the sake of making it fun/rewarding. At first I got such good vibes from the setting... I hope it's just because of the random location they placed you in, but it felt like... A dark souls clone slash em up if the difficulty was turned up to pointless.
When a challenge build runner who plays Bloodborne like me feels the game is too difficult, it's time to rethink what your doing. Makes me think the game is just really short and they're trying to artificially lengthen it by making it beyond frustrated.
Oh well, some people are masochists.
Ugh the difficulty was so off putting and I've beaten all the Souls' games. I even put in the survey that they should tone it down or at least play a souls game to figure out the balance...guess that was a waste of my time.
