Niioh Studio will work on a new IP for PS5

Team Ninja wants to create a brand new intellectual property for PlayStation 5 in the coming years.

The developer behind franchises as nioh and ninja Gaiden should launch a new series when exiting the PS5, scheduled for the end 2020.

I believe that a new console will bring new opportunities, and we would like to create a new game, a new intellectual property for PlayStation 5, said Studio Chief Yosuke Hayashi. Eurogamer Portugal.

We created the nioh for PS4, and we would like to do the same for PS5, he added, recalling that it is a usual activity for the Japanese label belonging to the Koei Tecmo publisher.

The declaration is quite surprising since, a few days ago, nioh 2 The director of Fumihiko Yasuda revealed that the main members of the Ninja Gaiden team would be delighted to rework on IP. Maybe there would be news to share as soon as possible.

The main team members who worked on Ninja Gaiden want to make a new game, said Yasuda Ign. We know that some fans wanted Ninja Gaiden more than Nioh 2.

The development team could be large enough to support both the return of Ninja Gaiden and the construction of a new IP. But it will also depend on NioH 2 Should financial performance be good; It s hard to believe that Team Ninja does not work on a third chapter.

Since open beta has been downloaded 700,000 times on PS4, chances are Nioh 3 could be one of the next Team Ninja games we see around.
