We are under a month away from the release of Nioh 2 from Koei Tecmo and PlayStation and today they have announced that a final beta will be made available to all at the end of February, no PlayStation Plus required.

Players will be able to jump in and sample the game between 7pm on Friday February 28 and 6:59am on Monday March 2nd. Those who want to play it will be able to see a lot of what has changed in the sequel, with detailed character customisation on display, to giving you the option to sample some of the Yokai that can assist you in battle.

There are three missions to enjoy, you can head out and visit Mount Tenno, which is covered in deadly creatures, each with their own deadly weapons. But you are not ill-equipped yourself as you can wield the Switchglaive, a deadly and very wicked new scythe like weapon that changes forms as you need it to.
