Nioh: Dragon of the North DLC Release Date Announced

Releasing May 2.

By Alex Osborn

Nioh's upcoming Dragon of the North DLC will release for PlayStation 4 on May 2.

Team Ninja shared the news in a post on PlayStation Blog, detailing the new content. Dragon of the North adds a new chapter that centers around Lord Masamune Date (aka the "One-Eyed Dragon"), the conceited ruler of the Sendai feudal domain during the Keicho Era.

The DLC is set in the Oshu region and takes place after William is victorious in bringing peace to Japan. However, the time of peace appears to have been short-lived, as new troubles arise when Masamune begins gathering spirit stones.

Dragon of the North will feature new Yokai and enemies to battle, and a new weapon called the Odachi, plus new armor, skills, magic and Guardians Spirits will be included as well. Additionally, PvP will be added as a new feature for those with a PlayStation Plus subscription.
