Nope, you won't be playing as a grizzled predetermined character like William Adams in Nioh 2. Instead, you'll be able to create your own custom hero. You'll be able to choose your sex and race according to game director Fumihiko Yasuda, who confirmed the addition during PlayStation's E3 2018 livestream.
It's unclear how much deeper the customisation will go, but we're sure a lot of Nioh fans will appreciate the change all the same.
Nioh 2 doesn't have a confirmed release window yet, but we're sure to learn more about the sequel in the near future. Until then, let us know if you're keeping your blade sharp in the comments section below.

Is it exclusive to PS4?
@viciousarcanum I don't believe so this time, I think Sony decided to publish it in the west last time cos it appealed to the BloodSouls fanbase and KOEI Tecmo maybe weren't convinced it wasn't going to sell that much outside Japan.
I hope they fix loot so we feel like we are getting something worthy, not just spam us with lots of useless loot items. I also want them to change bosses, don't make them spongy and unfair. In addition to that, they shouldnt reuse same areas so much as in the last game. And in the end, bring some light to this game. Half the time I couldn't properly see enemies and the environment.
I want to play Nioh so much because it's combat is addicting, but all of above mentioned thing prevent me from enjoying this game. I thing I have never had such conflicting feelings for a game.
This was one of the few genuine surprises for me from this year's E3, and it only serves to remind me how much I need to play the first game.
Mr. purple mo-stache punchalot-san shall rise again, hehe.
Sweet. I’m impressed you can choose race if it means more than white/black, as being able asked or a more asin looking character would be cool.
I’m not fussed about the exclusivity, but I do hope Sony publish it again in the West.
They did a great job with it & I doubt Nioh would’ve had as many eyes on it as it did, if it wasn’t for Sony attaching its name to it (+the alpha & beta we’re great).
@ShogunRok It’s interesting that Nioh is heading more into the Dark Souls direction, when Sekiro is moving away from it.
