Nioh 2 has been updated to a new version today just ahead of the launch of the Complete Edition on PS5. You can find the patch notes here.
The game was updated mainly to make some adjustments related to the gameplay balance. This included making it easier to deal with energy damage or adjusting the frequency of some special attacks.
Keep in mind that the original patch notes were shared in Japanese and can be accessed from here, but we have used a translator to make them readable in English.
