NiOh Announced for PC

In a surprising move, the folks over at Koei Tecmo have officially announced that the critically acclaimed Souls-like Action RPG NiOh will be coming to PC.

The game will be released digitally via Steam with the “Complete Edition” on November 7^th 2017. As the “Complete Edition” name suggests, it will include the original game and the three story DLC packages,  ‘Dragon of the North’, ‘Defiant Honor’, and ‘Bloodshed’s End’.

Game Director Fumihiko Yasuda said:

Team NINJA is well aware of the fact that many gamers have been passionately asking for a PC version of “Nioh”. I am thrilled to announce that this masocore game will finally be available for our die-hard PC fans in Nioh: Complete Edition! I hope you all enjoy the unforgettable drama and deeply challenging Yokai battles this action-packed experience has to offer.

The PC version will support two visual modes. “Action Mode” will ensure a stable 60 FPS, while “Movie Mode” will support resolution up to 4K.

To celebrate the release of the game on the new platform Koei Tecmo will offer the Dharmachakra Kabuto helmet…with quite a hilarious description:

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 eight-fold 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…

Pokdepinion: Glad to see that the PC Master Race will be able to enjoy NiOH: The Complete Edition. It’s pretty tough and akin to Dark Souls but it’s all worth it if you’re willing to go through it. You know what else needs to be tough? Your PC. But 60 FPS is gonna make the game look so good.
