The news was announced via the PlayStation Blog. Team Ninja provided the following summary of the DLC’s plot, which contains a slight spoiler for the ending of the original game:
In regards to the One-Eyed Dragon, a well-known historical figure, Team Ninja say he was an impulsive leader, who believed he was superior to most men. The team hope he will present a formidable adversary to William.
Dragon of the North will introduce new locations, Yokai, Guardian Spirits, armor, ninja skills, magic, and a new weapon called the Odachi. Furthermore, Team Ninja also announced the long-awaited PVP feature will accompany the DLC. This allows players to fight each other, assuming they have a PlayStation Plus subscription.
Nioh originally launched on February 7, to critical acclaim, and managed to ship 1 million units in its first two weeks on the market. We thought Nioh was a great game that fused Onimusha and Dark Souls to create one of the best examples of the Souls-style yet.
The Dragon of the North DLC launches on May 2 for PlayStation 4. For more on Nioh and all other games, stay tuned to GameSkinny.
