The final bit of DLC for Nioh will be Bloodshed’s End, launching next week, on September 26- and ahead of its release, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja have released some brand new screenshots, to whet our appetites, and also to show us what we can expect from the expansion once it is out.

These new screenshots, which you can see below, show us new characters, new Yokai, new Guardian Spirits, new locations, and more.The DLC will also include a brand new difficulty mode, as well a brand new mode called The Abyss- but of course, we don’t get to see much of those two in static screens, after all.

Nioh: Bloodshed’s End marks the end of the post launch support, and presumably, the ongoing narrative of the game, for now. Maybe a Nioh 2 will launch in the future that will continue from where this game leaves off. Nioh is out now exclusively on the PS4.

Given how packed this year has been with great game released, Nioh’s launch all the way back in early February seems like a distant memory- but the game was great, and remains great, and it continues to enthral us with meaningful content and gameplay even now.

The final bit of that content- at least in terms of paid DLC- will be launching this month. It is called Bloodshed’s End, and it will add additional main, sub-, and twilight missions to the game. It will also add a brand new mode, called ‘The Abyss’, which will see players take on a gauntlet of enemies in Osaka Castle’s inner sanctums.

Bloodshed’s End will release on September 26, and  it will cost $9.99/€9.99/£7.99 if you choose to buy it standalone- if you already own the Season Pass, then, of course, it will be available to you at no additional cost. Nioh is available exclusively on the PS4.
