Nioh, the intense action RPG from Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo, is getting a third entry. Unlike the last two games, this one includes a split combat style, allowing you to swap between samurai and ninja styles. You can get a look for yourself with the trailer below.
The ninja style looks to be more fluid and acrobatic than the game’s standard style, and in one shot, we can even see the player swap mid-battle. Stages have also expanded into open fields, which general producer Fumihiko Yasuda says will significantly increase player freedom and exploration in the game.
The trailer shows off lots of what we’ve come to expect from the series, including flashy attacks, elaborate boss designs, and a whole lot of swords. If it looks interesting, you’re in luck – there’s a demo for the game’s alpha out today on the PlayStation store, complete with a character creator, but it will only be available until June 18, according to the PS Blog. Otherwise, you can play the game when it comes out early next year.
For more from today’s State of Play, you can check out the reveal of the new Lumines game from the Tetris Effect developers or our first look at gameplay of Pragmata, Capcom’s new IP.
