To get people excited, the Alpha Demo comes with some perks. Players who complete an area the demo will gain access to download the Mark of the Conqueror DLC for the full game. But the demo will only last from April 26 to May 5, so if you want to play it, you’ll need to get your fix quick. Once you’re done with the demo, you’ll be able to fill out a survey to give Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo your thoughts on the game.

Nioh is set during a time of civil war in Japan, incorporating ideas from Japanese folklore such as samurai and supernatural creatures. How cool does that sound? You can summon a wolf made out of fire from your sword slashes. Yeah, that’s really awesome. Excited? Let us know in the comments below.
