Nioh 2, Team Ninja's sequel to the 2017 original, acts as a prequel to the events of the first game. You play as a Yokai hunter who stalks demons and spirits but hides a dark secret. Of Yokai descent themselves, they lose control of their minds in combat and are only saved by a passing merchant who has some strange stones that can help control the Yokai. From there, the adventure begins as the two team up to try and find more stones, making lots of friends and enemies along the way.
If you are wondering how long it will take to complete the game, producer Fumihiko Yasuda recently revealed some exciting information while talking to GameSpot. The game has about the same number of missions as the first game, each taking place in a stand-alone level, much like the first game. "When I played the game last January, it took me 55 hours", Yasuda explained.
He also points out that the time it will take to complete will depend on the skill of the player. "When we looked at how long it took the players to finish Nioh 1, it depended on the player, his quality, the way he played."
Given Yasuda's familiarity with the game, the 55-hour runtime could easily be extended for your first pass, as you explore and learn items from each level and try to figure out the violent puzzles that the boss fights. .
The only detail not covered by Yasuda was whether his run included the game's side quests or just the main storyline. If its 55 hour run didn't include all of the side quests, then you can expect to take even longer to complete the game entirely.
