That is a lot more than I expected. Good to see the series thriving. I liked the first game, but haven't played the second one yet.

Hopefully reaches 10 mil

5 mil each so that they could keep making new nioh games!

Nioh 2 will be free on PS plus this month so I doubt it will ever reach it. But at least they get a nice cash bonus. Who knows they might eventually make a third one, I would welcome it, but they are now busy with Rise of Roning.
