The Tengu's Disciple, the first of three DLC chapters, releases on July 30. The DLC format follows a similar model to the first game, seemingly including new Yokai, gear, guardian spirits, quests, difficulty levels.

The new weapon for DLC 1 is called the Splitstaff. I hoped it was a three section staff finally, but it appears to be something new. Looks like a staff where the ends can come off with an elastic rope. Looks similar to the Lunar Staff in Ninja Gaiden, but different.

Nioh 2's first DLC is days away, so here's a look at the new Splitstaff weapon

Go ninja, go ninja, go Ahead of Nioh 2‘s first DLC release, Team Ninja briefly showed off a new weapon...

I know that moveset like the back of my hand, Lunar staff all the way. I hope the next dlc has the Eclipse Scythe.

 

[YukiOnna]

Excited af. Already picturing the various combos you can execute after unlocking the skills. More than anything, I'm happy the wait isn't long to dive back into Nioh 2. Curious how the story will unfold and I hope they decided to add more Story and Side Missions to each DLC this time around.

We've got a stream on the 29th, as well

 

[isual]

ecstatic about this myself too. i should finish tsushima before then and hopefully the book i'm reading too by the time it releases.

on topic, we can assume that dlc 2 and 3 will come out every other month going onward?

 

[The Shepard]

Brought the game and expansion pass at launch, can't wait to jump back in.

Any word what ng+ brings?

Any word what ng+ brings?

If it follows the pattern of the first game, it should unlock Dream of the Strong (NG++) which raises caps on levels and gear. I wouldn't expect too much beyond that as the real game-changer on the original came with DLC 2 and Way Of the Wise (NG+++), as it was the point where difficulty really shot up. DLC 3's Way Of The Nioh (NG++++) was a comparatively gentle uptick for the most part, but had the Abyss (999 floor dungeon) for long-term challenge.

TN have been making hints that they felt like they made the original too punishing though, so who knows how stuff will shake out.

Sorry for the off-topic comment, but did they ever officially announce a PC version? A quick search turned up only speculation.

I've finished the third Nioh's DLC today.
I'm gonna take a break, wait for all Nioh 2's DLCs to be released (I already have the game) and then dive into it.

 

[Kamina]

I wonder if we will ever see a another Tengu type rather than the Karasu Tengu

Kinda hoping one of the bosses in this DLC is Yoshitsune's mentor, who was a Tengu. Sojobo, the Tengu King of Mt Kurama.

Nothing solid yet. General consensus is that they're waiting until all the DLC releases on PS4 before they announce a date for PC, so better plan on a wait.

On topic - my new main weapon. Love battle staves in games where they're not just a weak ass mage's catalyst. I hope there's some plain model staves though, without the little weird shit on the end.

 

[JTCx]

New splitstaff looks sick. Looks like im respeccing for new build. Not looking forward to familiarity grind

Doesnt seem like they increased the level cap for divine gear.

 

[Punished Miku]

Looks amazing. Can't believe how creative they got with the new moveset.

[splattered]

Has this been well balance patched yet? I remember reading people complaining about different things and i figured i would wait until adjustments were made...

Played and enjoyed the first one though i didn't get around to playing through the DLC as i felt the main game seemed "complete" enough after so many hours of play.. one day i'll go back though.

I was hoping for claws and a rapier in the style Maria used in Nioh 1's DLC. I do hope that wasn't the lightning cat boss from Nioh 1 in that trailer.

If you're talking about the Nue then I have bad news for you...

The DLC should be up in most regions now!

Got through the first story mission and a couple of side ones. The new weapon is lit and I like the changes to the level design and story structure within areas. Yashima is lovely.

 

[YukiOnna]

in Dream of the Demon, Bosses have new attack patterns and Burst Moves like Nioh 1? Sweet.
