Nioh was a really great twist on the Souls formula back when it released in early 2017, and it looks like the sequel is set to replicate that in a few months time in March 2020. If you haven't played that original experience, however, it's going to be available on PS Plus as part of the november line-up. A worthy download indeed, but playing it will have one more cool use.
Nioh 2's open beta kicks off on Friday 1st November, and if you have save data on your PlayStation 4 kicking around from its predecessor, you'll be able to play as original protagonist William for its duration. The pre-launch test comes with a character creator, so you'll be able to circumvent that as you pit your wits against supernatural enemies as the former hero.
Koei Tecmo has clearly done a good job of taking advantage of this whole PS Plus promotion, hasn't it? Will you be playing Nioh for the first time? Are you going to check out the sequel's beta? Change stances in the comments below.

Borderlands 3 crashed and I had to reset my whole PS4 to factory to get it to start up. Lost all my save data for most of everything.
Thank you Borderlands 3.
Very cool.
I'll hop on for a bit anyway. Haha Love Nioh!
@Constable_What Always backup mate i backup every month or when i get important trophies. To be fair i almost backup once every 2 weeks. I lost 2 years of saves on my PS3 when it died and i was stupid enough to never backup. ðŸ˜
@Constable_What Woah! Thanks for the reminder to back up everything.
@Constable_What You have to activate automatic backup for ps plus on you console. It's the Big thing for me, that makes me stay with plus instead of changing to ps now.
@Flaming_Kaiser @LowTech
I have to do all of that manually because automatic backup doesn't work for my non-primary PS4 that I use.
It really sucks.
The one that stings the most is my HR 120 Monster Hunter character. Oof.
@OGGamer No problem man. It's good to do!
@Constable_What That sucks mate i always do a manual backup call it OCD. 😉
@Constable_What Sorry to hear what happened to your PS4 save data man, happened to me once during my earlier PS3 years.
Hopefully you'll get around this by making backups weekly in the future, annoying as it will be.
