Hack-and-slash extravaganza Nioh was in production purgatory for so long, Koei Tecmo co-founder Yoichi Erikawa says he would have been fired for it had he not been responsible for the lengthy development period.
"After remaking it three times, we put out a good game," Erikawa — according to a translation from Automaton — tells Japanese magazine Den-fami Nico Gamer. He jokes: "Development took 12 years. If it were someone working under me doing this, they would have been fired."
