Nioh releases on PC digitally through Steam, along with a couple of perks included in this version on November 7th.
Nioh: Complete Edition – Launching On PC!
Specifically, the PC will be receiving the previously revealed, Nioh: Complete Edition. Which contains the base game and all three of the previously released DLC including: “Dragon of the North“, “Defiant Honor“, and the latest “Bloodshed's End“.
Team Ninja's Game Director ‘Fumihiko Yasuda' made a statement saying:
“Team NINJA is well aware of the fact that many gamers have been passionately asking for a PC version of “Nioh”. I am thrilled to announce that this masocore game will finally be available for our die-hard PC fans in Nioh: Complete Edition! I hope you all enjoy the unforgettable drama and deeply challenging Yokai battles this action-packed experience has to offer.”
The PC version will have two of the three Visual Modes found on the PlayStation 4. There's “Action Mode”, which keeps Nioh at a stable frame-rate of 60fps, and a cinematic “Movie Mode” that supports resolutions up to 4K, but at a cost of performance.
In celebration of the upcoming release of Nioh: Complete Edition, a new piece of head armor called the Dharmachakra Kabuto Helmet will be included in the game, also offered in the PC version. You can read its full description, below:
“The Wheel of Dharma kabuto is a form of “kawari-kabuto”—a family of helmets featuring fantastical designs. This helmet features a red-lacquered front crest of an ancient Buddhist symbol depicting the eight-fold path to nirvana. This holy image represents spiritual enlightenment attained by casting off one's worldly desires, and also holds the power to banish evil.
However, some claim this is not a Wheel of Dharma at all, merely a replica that looks as though it belongs on a device to regulate steam… Some have gone so far as to suggest renaming it to “Valve Kabuto,” but why anyone would make a helmet featuring a valve is unclear…”

It's pretty awesome of Team Ninja to bring their game onto the PC platform, now if only Atlus can do the same with Persona 5.
