Koei Tecmo's CEO Kou Shibusawa mentioned it in a new interview:

Shibusawa then went on to talk about Ni-Oh first announced at E3 2005 more than 10 years ago. Since then they have remade the game from scratch 2 times with this being the third iteration and he hopes that third time is the charm! Theyve also finalised the concept theme to be Sengoku Dark Fantasy. The game is being developed exclusively for Sonys PlayStation 4 from the ground up and is being optimised for 1080p, 60fps.

I just Ni-Oh I can count on you, KT.

UnluckyKate · Jan 11, 2016

I'm playing Yakuza Ishin on PS4 and it's been AGES since I played an hack'n'slash/ Character Action at 60 fps and I can't believe how each second of gameplay is a bliss so yeah, very good news

RoboPlato · Jan 11, 2016

Nice. Seems like the type of game that will benefit quite a bit from it.

Crimsonclaw111 · Jan 11, 2016

Exclusively for PS4 it says. That Console Exclusive tag sure is confusing.

Also I could've sworn the game was announced to be 60fps ages ago?

Angelus Errare · Jan 11, 2016

Sounds good, now...can we get some more gameplay videos? D: D: D:

Acquiescence · Jan 11, 2016

Zhuge has his own site now? First I knew of it.

Plague Doctor · Jan 11, 2016

Amazing news for one of the games I am really excited for.

De_Legend · Jan 11, 2016

Good stuff.

Eolz · Jan 11, 2016

I thought that this was already well-known?
Still, good to hear (again).

Inuhanyou · Jan 11, 2016

That isn't news. Team Ninja have only done 60fps titles to start, without mentioning the fact that they already confirmed this months ago.

And they are one of the devs you can point to as an example of there not being any correlation between frame-rate/resolution and hardware if one is developing a game.

It depends on what the developer decides from the beginning of development. If they as devs really want a 60fps title, they will make a game design which caters to that from the beginning.

piccio_ssl · Jan 11, 2016

it is known since TGS reveal

AAK · Jan 11, 2016

I'll probably lose interest if it isn't 60 fps and they decide to drop it to 30 like Bloodborne.

From scratch, twice? Goddamn.

Well I don't remember what the initial reveal looked like but this here is looking good. Bloodborne was a pleasant surprise for me and my first foray into Souls games, and from what I'm seeing here, its reminiscent of that. Add in samurai and oni and possibly ninjas and shit? I'm in

DKHF · Jan 11, 2016

I thought it was news sorry. But it's good they are targeting 60fps.

Shin-chan · Jan 11, 2016

If Persona 5 doesn't release this year, Ni Oh will be game of the year. Move over Uncharted 4. And Nier 2. And Zelda.

Newtype-001 · Jan 11, 2016

Its been known for a while.

Purdy locked 30 is fine too.

You thinking of Nier?

NiOh is the ninja game right?

that explains the visuals

No thanks. Action games should all be 60fps.

Dude, let us just hope that it ends up being atleast good let alone GOTY material

I'm dying for new good samurai game.

Acosta · Jan 11, 2016

Some months after: "Ni-Oh will be 30 FPS".

Deja vu.

sleepykyo · Jan 11, 2016

I wonder if they'll follow through on that when both Naughty Dog.

edit. My bad, Didn't realize 343 followed through.

Slackbladder · Jan 11, 2016

Hmm. Are Koei Tecmo known for good game engines? I mean 1080p/60fps is easy if the game looks like shit.

Inuhanyou · Jan 11, 2016

Many developers are not committed 100% to reigning in their ambition. If they want to go further in design and need the render time to do that, they aren't going to stick to 60fps as a design choice. Not to say 343 went back on that, isn't halo 5 60fps? What we have in Halo 5 now is the result

There are plenty of devs who will sacrifice ambition for 60fps though, fighting games do it without a care.

AAK said:

They didn't decide to drop it to 30. It was always 30 during development, and they never deviated from 30 to begin with. On console, From has always mostly done 30fps game unless they just had that much leeway like in the Dark Souls 2 remaster.

Team Ninja have always done 60 games and have always based their game designs from the start on that. Its no different from what many Nintendo developers do. Its not some magical thing,

What did 343 backtrack on? Halo 5 is 60fps campaign and multi

Vitor711 · Jan 11, 2016

Wait - I remember this game from a magazine entry back when it was announced, next to a spread on Ninja Gaiden Black and some Onimusha game. Can't believe it's still alive.

BB shits all over DS II PS4 so no.

narutomaki04 · Jan 11, 2016

Hope they can hit it but I wouldn't mind too much if they couldn't and locked it at 30 instead.

BadWolf · Jan 11, 2016

The game is looking extremely promising, can't wait.

AcademicSaucer · Jan 11, 2016

I wonder what are they going to sacrifice to get there, this is on PS4 after all.

And Dark Souls at 60fps shits all over BB so... yes?

The only thing 343 backtracked on was splitscreen (yes, there was a short period of time where they said splitscreen would be in). Them not backtracking on 60fps is the reason why splitscreen didn't make it in.

Rajang · Jan 11, 2016

Yep, at the TGS reveal.

except 30fps DOAX2, unstable 60 in NG2 360 and NG3 is all over the place depending on version, so i'll believe this when I see it.

Original Xbox gen TN was reliable for that though, sure.

Magwik · Jan 11, 2016

It appears they are also targeting my wallet with Ni-Oh

XxRampage07xX · Jan 11, 2016

60fps will be very nice. But I'm fine with 30fps too as long as the framerate won't drop consistently.
