The sequel to the cult-hit action RPG will be hitting a Sony console near you on March 13th 2020.
Yokai abound in the latest gameplay trailer for Nioh 2
Revealed at the Tokyo Game Show, the gameplay trailer delivers some stellar action and gorgeous art design.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order review
It’s been very nearly ten years since the release of the last Marvel Ultimate Alliance game. Back then, Marvel properties weren’t nearly as popular as they are now.

Dead or Alive 6 has some neat ideas to make fighting game esports more exciting
The next Dead or Alive is aiming to emphasise its content over the usual best of the chest appeal that has driven previous games in the series. One aspect of Dead or Alive 6 that’s looking to draw in a new crowd? The inclusion of special moves that create a more cinematic breaking of bones that’ll look right at home on a TV screen or a big tournament. “
Nioh and the future potential of Team Ninja
Team Ninja’s Nioh was a quiet hit around its early 2017 release. It had an incredible level of depth to its speedy and precise combat, a mystical ancient-Japanese setting and a punishing level of difficulty – mimicking its contemporaries in the hard-core Action RPG genre, but arguably reaching new heights of balance and craft. Its artistic vision was strong, but …
