Aranea Highwind Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Thank you guys so much for supporting our first expansion of Nioh 2, The Tengus’s Disciple. We’ve been hard at work to bring you the next exciting chapter in the Nioh 2 saga, and I’m happy to announce today that the second DLC pack, titled Darkness in the Capital will be available on October 15! While I‘m sure many of you are engrossed in the current campaign and well on your way to becoming a formidable Yokai hunter in feudal Japan, brace yourselves as even more perilous adventures and insurmountable enemies await you within the capital of the kingdom in this thrilling new chapter. Without further ado, let’s get into the new details for the brand-new quest awaiting all of our warriors. Darkness in the Capital features new storylines, overwhelmingly powerful new bosses, tricky new Yokai, new Guardian Spirits, skills, Ninjutsu, Onmyo Magic and Soul Cores. And to top it all off, this new chapter will present electrifying new armor sets and a weapon that fans of hand-to-hand combat will surely relish. Now I’d hate to leave you guys completely in the dark on this upcoming DLC expansion. So, let me throw out some clues and story details to give you a taste of what’s on the horizon for this next installment. In order to unravel the mysteries surrounding the history of the Sohayamaru, our protagonist ventures to Kyoto City and discovers a shrine furnished with an old worn-out box. Upon inspection, the Sohayamaru once again shines brilliantly and the protagonist is whisked away to the middle of the Heian Period, landing in an ancient version of the capital. Contrary to its name “Heian Palace,” which means peace and tranquility, ancient Kyoto was terrorized by countless Yokai during this time period. However, there existed many heroes who were brave enough to oppose these demons. Among them were the most preeminent demon slayer and the strongest sorcerer in history, along with their subordinates and colleagues fighting at their side. Our protagonist joins forces with these famous heroes in order to quell the unrest and destruction caused by the Yokai hordes, while learning more about the connections between an even more distant past and the present time period from which they came. Well, there you have it. A brief overview of what’s to come. Please be on the look-out for more exciting details in the near future as we hope to shed even more light on Darkness in the Capital. Until that time, best of luck battling all of the fearsome Yokai in the Tengu’s Disciple and crafting a unique build that best suits your own playstyle. As many of you are well aware, you’ll need every advantage you can get to take on the menacing enemies lurking in the distant past. So, stay strong and stay safe out there samurai! https://blog.playstation.com/2020/09/24/nioh-2s-darkness-in-the-capital-expansion-arrives-october-15/ Edited September 24, 2020 by Aranea Highwind 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesius Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Very nice, looking forward to more content! Hopefully the new DLC bosses will be less resistant to Poison than in the first DLC... Weird though... The screenshots are all from The Tengu's Disciple, or am I mistaken..? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestUsername---- Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Sohayamaru? Hopefully it fleshes out Mumyo's story a little bit more. Anyone know when this story takes place compared to the main campaign and The Tengu Disciple? New Hand to Hand weapon you say? If Ninja Gaiden taught me anything it has to be the claws.

[...] From what's written in OP ("the protagonist is whisked away to the middle of the Heian Period"), it will most probably take place before the first DLC, the Genpei War meaning the end of that period and the beginning of Kamakura shogunate (quite the shift, you can look it up easily if you’re interested). On a side note patch 1.15 is live, and they still didn't address the calligraphy glitch in the hut, which makes me a very sad tanuki. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanaCheese94 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 well I just hope there will be only original main bosses this time. I was really disappointed by Omi Bozu Clone and Nue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
