It seems there are very little hope to be able to see Nioh on Xboxand the fact that the consideration comes from Team Ninjaauthor of the series, we can trust, even if it is not explained why there is no possibility.
“There isn’t much to say about it,” said Fumihiko Yasuda, the director of Nioh, in an interview published by VGC.
“Currently there are not many possibilities to see Nioh on Xbox consoles, but I hope that fans of the console can play Wo Long and waiting for it, is probably all we can say at the moment. “
The answer is rather mysterious and Yasuda does not delve into the reasons for this lack of possibility to see the title on Xbox, especially since the relationship between Microsoft and Team Ninja seems to have been resumed recently, with the announcement of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. on Xbox Game Pass, as the director himself reports.
Yasuda also reported that he was very happy that the new game arrives on Xbox and on the subscription service, also reporting that this form of distribution has not affected the structure of the game: “We are very happy that so many players have the opportunity to try. a Team Ninja game maybe even for the first time with Wo Long. The fact that it is on Game Passit did not lead us to change some aspects, it is not something we would have done normally, from the point of view of our team “.
“We think it’s a very good thing that we have the game on Game Pass and that it can reach such a large audience right away, which could greatly increase the community and could immediately lead to a good multiplayer population.”
The director of Team Ninja also commented positively on the recent positive trend of Xbox in Japan, as we have also seen from the recent sales data of last week: “We see that there is a greater presence of the platform. Xbox in Japan, we are definitely seeing it. We think Game Pass is helping many more people to reach the Xbox platform, “while realizing that” from our perspective, looking at the numbers, Japan seems quite dominated by Nintendo and Switch. “
Nioh as a franchise has long since surpassed 6 million copies, so it is not clear if there is an economic issue behind the inability to see it on Xbox or if there have been prior agreements with Sony for a total exclusivity, considering how the team is definitely very close to the Japanese company for which Rise of the Ronin is also developing exclusively.
