Koei Tecmo's samurai action RPG, Nioh, will be getting its second beta later next month, according to a press release from the company today. The demo will be available to download and play on PS4 for a limited time, and will then lock after September 6th. The developer, Team Ninja, will then take player feedback from the demo and incorporate changes that will be in the final build.

In the dark, fantasy action RPG Nioh, players will traverse war-torn Japan as William, a blonde-haired swordsman whose background as a fierce warrior and seasoned knowledge of the blade allows him to survive in the demon-plagued land of the samurai. Players will face off against other samurai in epic sword battles and intense, multi-target engagements offering a level of difficulty that will truly test even the most hardened samurai’s skills, patience, and strategy. Nioh not only incorporates iconic elements from Japanese folklore such as samurai and supernatural creatures—the game also offers the exhilaration of an authentic samurai sword fight straight from Team NINJA. Nioh is guaranteed to challenge players in a way that makes every mission feel earned and their accomplishments worthwhile.

This game is awesome I played the alpha and completed the following developer survey.
Hopefully this is the same demo so we can see how they have adjusted it after receiving all of the player feedback.
