Remastered editions of Team Ninja’s Nioh and Nioh 2 will be coming to PS5 in the form of a collection, featuring 4K 120fps support, as well as individual remastered versions of both entries.
In a PlayStation blog post Team Ninja’s creative director, Tom Lee, went into further detail on the new collection and how they will be celebrating the anniversary. He said, “As a token of our appreciation, we thought there was no better way to celebrate the Nioh series, one very near and dear to our hearts, than remastering the entire story for both veterans and new players alike to enjoy utilizing the latest hardware.”
On February 5, 2021 the following titles will release simultaneously to celebrate the 4th anniversary of the franchise:
