15 Upcoming PS4 Exclusive Games You Must Consider

Release Date: TBA 2016

The Buzz: Team Ninja's (Ninja Gaiden) historical action RPG looks to meld Dynasty Warriors, Onimusha and Ninja Gaiden with Dark Souls, creating an experience that introduces legendary real-world figures such as Hattori Hanzō, while touting a high level of difficulty that punishes arrogance and rewards patience.

It's a massively ambitious project that's been in development for over a decade, and should provide those who cherish the soul-crushing challenge of the Souls games with a reprieve until From Software releases their latest masterpiece.

It won't be for all tastes and many will simply lack the patience to persevere with its deliberate approach, but Nioh could nevertheless be one of the year's most gratifying and visceral action games.
