Team Ninja has released a brand new update today for the PS4 exclusive, Nioh 2. The new update, which is available now and has a download size of approximately 500MB, brings a lot of tweaks, fixes, changes, and quality of life adjustments to make Nioh 2 a more enjoyable game for all players.
The patch notes have been posted on the official Nioh 2 website, though they are in Japanese. We’ve gone ahead and done our best to translate them to English (Google translate!) but there may be a few odd words that don’t fit, but you’ll get the message either way.
If the Nioh 2 1.04 update hasn’t downloaded to your console yet, you can kickstart the process by going to the game’s icon on your PS4 dashboard, hitting the ‘options’ button, and then go down and select ‘check for update’, which will initiate the download. It’s only a 500MG download, so even if you’re not on the best internet connection, it won’t be an overly long wait to get it installed.
