Last night's State of Play affirmed to me that Team Ninja simply doesn't stop. Rise of the Ronin was released just over a year ago (with a PC Port showing up a few months back), the studio released Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and a new Dead or Alive dating sim earlier this year, and the team is working on Ninja Gaiden 4 with Platinum Games. Now, though, the mad lads have only gone and announced that Nioh 3 is on the way.
However, despite Rise of the Ronin being an open-world release, Team Ninja has confirmed that Nioh won't be following in its footsteps. Speaking to 4Gamer (translated by Automaton) Nioh 3’s general producer Fumihiko Yasuda talked about the decision to go with what they call "open-field" design as opposed to a full-blown open world.
