Koei Tecmo has announced that the Nioh Beta demo will be available for players on PS4 on August 23rd and will remain playable until September 6th, giving players a solid 2 weeks of hands on time with the challenging action RPG from developer Team Ninja!
In the upcoming demo, players will be able to explore a brand new stage as well as a dojo training stage that will teach players the basics of the samurai focused combat. In addition to new katanas, spears, hammers and axes, the demo will also bring some new weapons to players’ hands.
The main character, William, will now have companions as he takes on the Yokai. Hanzo Hattori, the head of a famous ninja clan, is William’s guide through the country. Ginchiyo Tachibana, wife of Muneshige, the head of the Tachibana clan will also help William on his quest with her skilled fighting abilities.
Check out our in depth E3 interview with director Fumihiko Yasuda which answered many questions fans had about the game. Excited for the beta? We definitely are, based on our alpha impressions! We’ll keep bringing you updates on the game’s development, which is set to release some time this year.

Also, the Beta will include a Dojo stage, so you can learn the ropes before tackling the Beta, as well as a to-be-announced level. There’s also going to be a level from the Alpha as well, so we’ll be able to take on a stage we already know, but with the new improvements and changes.
The stage from the Alpha will be the Usuki stage (the first stage in the Alpha)
Players of the Beta will have another chance to get the Mark of the Conqueror DLC, if they missed out on getting it the first time
I really can’t wait to play more of this game. I didn’t really like it when I first started the Alpha, but the more I played it just kept growing on me. It definitely has that Souls-like progression where you can feel yourself improving and overcoming the challenge, which is awesome!

I may be very excited for this….why am I more excited about a Beta, than full games that have been coming out recently?
Yay! I’m really looking forward to the beta. There’ll be lots of wiki’ing to do!
