A group of up to three players can explore and fight alongside each other in online co-op, and there’s an asynchronous multiplayer system that turns other players and their custom protagonists into NPCs that assist Hideyoshi. As for the gameplay, it looks very good for this stage of its development, and Team Ninja has introduced new features and new mechanics to invigorate the next game. Some are tailored for offense and others are more suited for stealth, enabling unique playstyles and builds just like Nioh 1. Hideyoshi will undergo differing Yokai transformations with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Although the options shown were limited in the Nioh 2 demo, there will be lots of ways to customise Hideyoshi, including facial features, age, and the degree of ‘femininity exuding from your gestures’. Hideyoshi is a half-human, half-Yokai hybrid, and players will use a character creation system to create their own character this time around. The hero of Nioh 2 is a mercenary, who after meeting the merchant Toukichirou, will assume one shared name with their new associate: Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In an interview with 4Gamer, Nioh 2 producer Fumihiko Yasuda explained a little of the story of the next game, and what players have to look forward to. At Tokyo Game Show, Nioh 2 gameplay and story features were unveiled in a demonstration and interview, revealing online co-op play, character creation, and Yokai soul superpowers (via DualShockers).
