The Nioh 2 1.20 update patch notes will probably be among the final big updates to the game. This update welcomes in The First Samurai DLC pack, which is the last of three expansions. The remastered version of the game will be coming to PS5 and PC in February 2021 as well as a big bundle for the PS4, marking the end of an era. However, this update has more than a few things in it and even has some stuff for all users as well.
Nioh 2 1.20 Update Patch Notes | The First Samurai DLC
Support for The First Samurai is perhaps the biggest thing in this update. This final DLC is $10 (and is a part of the season pass) and will finish out the arc that was started in The Tengu’s Disciple and continued on in Darkness in the Capital. It also comes with more enemies, bosses, stages, and more. The First Samurai, however, does not come with a new weapon like those other two episodes.
Nioh 2 1.20 Update Patch Notes | New skills
Many of the weapons got new skills. For example, the Splitstaff got the Heron Kick and Changing Ways moves and the Dual Hawks and Wild Surge abilities were given to the Dual Hatchets. There are many more than that, but they don’t appear to be marked from the old ones, making it difficult to make out which ones are new. The Beyond Infinity skill for the Fists is quite something and worth looking into as it is quite fast and full of punches.
