‘Nioh 2’ Sells One Million Units, Receiving First Add-on July 30
It’s a sales figures type of day, as Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja have announced that Nioh 2 has surpassed one million units sold since its release on March 12. On top of that, it was reported that the game’s first DLC entry, The Tengu’s Disciple, now has a release date.
In celebration of the game reaching the milestone, Team Ninja are distributing the new “Million Demon Armor” to players. Players can receive the “Million Demon Armor” after updating to Ver. 1.09 by accessing the “Boons” section of the shrine. Speaking of version 1.09, the update (which is available now) adds new missions, a Photo Mode, a new Guardian Spirit, and more.
As for The Tengu’s Disciple, PlayStation Blog reports that the add-on will release on July 30, and involves the player travelling to Yashima, where you find a shrine possessing a mysterious whistle called the Sohayamaru. It is revealed that whenever wars take place, heroes wielding the Sohayamaru will head into battle in order to restore peace back into this land.
Nioh 2 is available now on PlayStation 4.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
