Nioh (Japanese: 仁王, lit. "benevolent king") is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Team Ninja for the PlayStation 4 (PS4). It will release worldwide in February 2017, be published by Koei Tecmo in Japan and Sony Interactive Entertainment internationally.
Gameplay, which was inspired by the Souls series, revolves around navigating levels and defeating monsters that have infested an area. Nioh takes place in the early 1600s during a fictionalized version of the Sengoku period, when Japan was in the midst of civil war prior to the ascension of the Tokugawa shogunate. A sailor named William Adams, in pursuit of an enemy, arrives in Japan and is enlisted by Hattori Hanzō, servant to Tokugawa Ieyasu, in defeating yokai that are flourishing in the chaos of war.

When a Nioh Alpha demo was released on PS4 earlier this year, we discovered that the action game allows you to switch between two different modes that improved either the frame rate or resolution. Now, developer Team Ninja has announced what each mode will do when playing the final game on both the standard PS4 and Pro.
Nioh is scheduled to release worldwide on February 9, 2017. It had a second demo test for a limited time, and thanks to feedback from fans to both tests, the developer is going to make changes, such as revamping the stamina system and removing durability.
