Nioh Dragon of the North Releases Next Week, PvP Details Are Out

Nioh Dragon of the North Releases Next Week
Nioh's (first) DLC Dragon of the North will be out next week on May 2. Our western samurai William will continue after his last main mission in the main game.
William will be going after  Lord Masamune Date, the ruler of Sendai feudal domain in the Keicho Ero (circa. 4 centuries ago)

With a new DLC comes a new region which will the Oshu region. There will be new yokai, new guardian spirits (see below for both) and a new weapon type the Odachi, though there is not a lot of information on which stats this weapon uses, new armor sets and new skills will be able to be unlocked for you.

Dragon Samurai......great.

He used to be a butcher, but that didn't pay enough really

Great...One Eyed Oni back with a cold vengeance...

Hope you all are done grinding those juicy loots and ready for some new juicy loots!

PvP Mode
The PvP mode will be a free update for all Nioh owners and there is some extra information out for it
PvP will feature 2 modes from the information that we know which are the following

1vs1
1vs1 will feature both a straightforward 1vs1 mode, where the first player to win two rounds wins the match.

2vs2
2vs2 battles. In 2vs2 battles, teammates can revive each other which adds to the mode’s challenge.

Stages
The PVP mode will also have multiple stages with some stages featuring special gimmicks.
The items and skills from the single player mode will mostly be usable in PvP, though they will have adjusted properties in PvP or balance (so no Sloth Magic spam!....we hope)

That is pretty much everything we have seen and heard about the next week patch / DLC.
The DLC is free if you have the $25 season pass which will include two more other DLC

Put the date on your calendars! The new DLC and PvP mode will be released on May 2!
