New Nioh demo detailed

Play around with tutorials, a new area, new weapons and more this August.

We already know that there's a new Nioh demo coming in August. Now we know the exact date and what it includes.

The beta demo will be available from August 23 until September 5. Many found it frustrating not being told how the combat system worked in the alpha demo, so this one will let you learn the basics of the combat system by taking part in an intense training session in a new dojo stage.

We'll also go back to Dazaifu and Usuki with new katana, axes, spears, and hammers. Tired of those areas? Fear not, you'll also be able to explore a yet to be announced stage.

With Nioh set to release on PlayStation 4 later this year, it'll be interesting to see how this demo plays.
