Fumihiko Yasuda, Producer at Team Ninja talked about the release date announcement in a post on the official PlayStation Blog. He said that one of the reasons they hadn’t disclosed a release date was because they wanted to get a feeling of “genuine evolution” for the sequel. They wanted to bring fresh new things while retaining the good old ones from the original Nioh.
