Start Making Room on Your Hard Drive Though
Koei Tecmo has announced that the tough-as-nails samurai action game, Nioh, will be heading to PC’s via Steam on November 7th. It’s called Nioh: Complete Edition and it contains the base game and the ‘Dragon of the North,’ ‘Defiant Honour,’ and ‘Bloodshed’s End’ DLC expansions.
The PC version can be played in Action Mode, which runs at a smooth 60fps, or in Movie Mode, that expands resolution to 4K. The only thing that may sour this announcement is that, according to the Steam page, Nioh will take up a staggering 100GB of storage space. The PC version will also offer players a brand-new item called the Dharmachakra Kabuto helmet. Thanks to the press release, here’s the official blurb:
“The Wheel of Dharma kabuto is a form of “kawari-kabuto”—a family of helmets featuring fantastical designs. This helmet features a red-lacquered front crest of an ancient Buddhist symbol depicting the eightfold path to nirvana. This holy image represents spiritual enlightenment attained by casting off one’s worldly desires, and also holds the power to banish evil. However, some claim this is not a Wheel of Dharma at all, merely a replica that looks as though it belongs on a device to regulate steam… Some have gone so far as to suggest renaming it to “Valve Kabuto,” but why anyone would make a helmet featuring a valve is unclear…”

Nioh originally released nine months ago on PS4 but unlike that version, the Complete Edition will unlock all seven weapon types, ninjutsu and onmyo magics from the beginning. However, finishing the core game will still unlock more features including the Dual Guardian Spirit.
Pricing has yet to be revealed but we’re certain we’ll hear about it very soon. In the meantime, let us know how you feel about Nioh: Complete Edition in the comments below.
