I love Nioh but too much of a good thing etc. Let it sleep for now, some other series need some love.
I remember that they stated not too long ago that they want to make a new IP for PS5 like Nioh was a new IP for PS4 (despite it supposed to have been a PS3 game lol)

Clarification: the IP may be taking a break
He didn't explicitly say Nioh has ended, as in there won't be any additional Nioh titles in the future. He basically said they're taking a break from Nioh to work on new projects.
Edit: The quote:
"At Team Ninja, the seven years-long development of Nioh series will reach a resting point, and there are several projects that will begin full-scale development in 2021. I plan to change my development style to match my changing lifestyle and concentrate on new titles. As for me personally, I'll try not to gain any more weight."
Yasuda also told 4Gamer that several new titles from Team Ninja would be announced in 2021.

I'm pretty sure they want to do a new IP for the PS5. That was hinted at awhile back. I would welcome that. I just got nioh 2 for Christmas but will wait for ps5 version in the meantime.

i actually wonder when we will get dark souls 5
but first
ohhhhhhhhhhhh elden ring
Good, I loved both of them but NiOh2 already felt like an expansion more than it's own game.
Very much looking forward to whatever comes next.
Ninja Gaiden Next-gen plz.

Goodbye, my baby...
I look forward to their new IP. I don't think they should return to Ninja Gaiden either. I feel like it's time Team Ninja go the route of FromSoftware and continuously explore new ideas with new IPs. Can always be spiritual successors to a previous idea, but not being stuck doing a sequel to a single IP for an extensive period of time.

I haven't even started Nioh 2 (waiting for PS5 version) but I'm already ok with this.
Nioh has what I consider the finest melee combat yet designed, but I don't want the team stuck making more Nioh forever. I'd love to see their skill put elsewhere.

How about a small project first such as releasing the 3d ninja garden games on pc and other platforms?
RIP Nioh. You were too good for this world.
I do hope to see spiritual successors, at least. That mix of intense combat and RPG mechanics was very satisfying. It's actually really funny going from Nioh 2 to Godfall in such a short span of time (I was playing the final Nioh 2 DLC, then got Godfall for Christmas and just jumped into it) and seeing Godfall pretending they invented the coop looter slasher etc. when not only did Nioh perfect the formula first, in fact Godfall is like total amateur hour compared to it.

With shockingly tasteful female representation, too.
I am fine with this.
They can always make a third once people start missing it. Do something else for now.

Probably for the best. I adore Nioh 2, it's my GOTY, but I couldn't see myself do it all again even in two, three years time. It's not necessary either because I think Nioh 2 is one of those games you can play off and on for years.
In that sense I dislike calling it a Soulslike because it creates a promise the franchise has no intention of delivering on in the first place.
With how similar Nioh 2 ended being to the first one, I think it's safe to assume they didn't get it because they weren't going for it in the first place. The Souls influences are obviously there—the shrines, the shortcuts, the 'collect your XP upon death or lose them forever'—but in terms of combat, gear/loot, storytelling and setting Nioh is a completely different beast.

Thats enough.
Nioh 2 felt like an extension of Nioh 1.
I got burned with it extremely quickly. Felt like I just played it.

The last dlc added the abyss and so much new stuff you could easily play Nioh 2 for years off and on.
Also on DOAs, but no one already remember DOA6 lol
Hope the new IP is kind of Nioh-like atleast.
It's definitely off putting to see people spew nonsense and demand new IP but then keep begging devs to go back to classics.
On topic, hope it's a new IP and takes advantage of the good from Nioh.

might wanna amend the thread title while you're in here based on the other posts clarifiyng. the series hasn't "ended", they're just assembly lining sequels and are taking a break.
