Your beta creation could become a preset in the final game

Team Ninja is running anopen beta forNioh 2on PS4starting this Friday, November 1, and I figured we could all use the reminder. I’m incredibly ready to slice up more folklore-inspired creeps. I know some of you were down on the original game’s rather drawn-out nature, but I adored the long grind and wasn’t too bothered by the sense of repetition–not even across multiple New Game Plus playthroughs.

One of the big changes for the sequel is a character creator, and to that end, Team Ninja is hosting a character contest for theNioh 2beta that’ll put the winning designs in the game as preset options.

Three male and three female characters will make the cut. To participate, you just need to design a memorable character, share the design on Twitter using the in-game uploader, and include the hashtag “#Nioh2b_contest” in the comment box. Your image will automatically have a code associated with it.

I get the distinct feeling that we’re going to see a lot of2Bnods. (Not that I’m complaining.)

Aside from bragging rights, the six contest winners will also have their names listed in theNioh 2credits. The deadline is June 07, 2025–the same day the beta is scheduled to close.

It’d be swell to see a Destructoid reader win this thing. You’re a creative bunch.
