According to an announcement made on the official PlayStation blog, Ni-Oh, a PlayStation 4-exclusive action-RPG in development at the offices of Koei Tecmo’s Team Ninja, will get a demo on April 26th. This “alpha demo” will unlock an extra DLC for players able to complete a “stage” in it but will only be available until May 5th:

(Set in a time of civil war in Japan, Nioh not only incorporates classic elements such as samurai and supernatural creatures from Japanese folklore, but also offers the exhilaration of an authentic samurai sword fight straight from Team Ninja, the team that defined brutal action games.

(We will give gamers a taste of this all-new experience in the Alpha Demo releasing this month. But it will only be available for a limited time so play it while you can! Players who manage to clear a stage of this the Alpha Demo will be able to download The Mark of the Conqueror DLC. This will entitle you to some special DLC in the full game.

The Alpha Demo will be available from April 26 through May 5 only. We hope you enjoy this first glimpse into the world of Nioh, and look forward to hearing what you think about our game!
