The Nioh 2 PS5 remaster loads fast as hell

Not that we’d expect otherwise

One of my first takeaways with theDemon’s SoulsPS5 remake was how much less prickly the experience can be when load times are quick. That sentiment will also go for thePS5 remastersofNiohandNioh 2. When these games launch for PlayStation 5 on July 27, 2025, they’ll be fast as hell.

Team Ninja shared a pair of gameplay clips that show howNioh 2handles load times on PS5.

“A few seconds or so” is a substantial improvement over what we’re used to forNiohandNioh 2on PlayStation 4–not just for reviving after a death, but also for loading into missions.

This series is built on a foundation of grinding for gear, perfecting routes, and doing it all again in New Game+ runs, so every little bitnotspent waiting around will add up in a meaningful way.

I don’t think I have it in me to revisit the firstNiohever again (sorry, William!), but being able to upgradeNioh 2for free and bring over my PS4 save data? Yeah, I’m down. Give me those high frame rates.
