Nioh's collection on PS5 shows its improved loading times

Team Ninja shows off the loading time improvements that The Nioh Collection will receive on PS5 on February 5. This is how it performs on the SSD drive.

Team Ninja recently confirmed The Nioh Collection, a bundle that includes both installments of the series along with all their downloadable content for PS5 (and PC). Both titles will see their performance improved thanks to the new generation hardware. Although there are still 3 months left for its launch, the company publishes several examples of what we can expect on February 5.

Through the official Japanese account of the game, we are spectators of the first novelties of The Nioh Collection on PS5. The first tweet focuses on death. Like good Soulslike, you will die time after time, and thanks to the PlayStation’s fifth-generation SSD drive, load times when reviving are drastically reduced. As soon as the loading screen appears, less than 4 seconds pass. You quickly get back into action.

On the other hand, the second tweet shows the speed of the game when loading a new level. For those who do not know its structure, Nioh displays a world map full of closed levels, among which we can find secondary missions, Nightfall missions and other phases that modify the main level. The video speaks for itself: it only takes 5 seconds between pressing the mission entry and the character starts moving. Almost nothing.

Remasters for PS5 will feature 4K resolution, better graphics quality, and the ability to select 120fps performance mode on compatible televisions and monitors. And yes, you can take your PS4 game to the remasters. If you already have the games, you will get these improved versions at no additional cost.

Nioh 2 has been one of the great names that this 2020 has left us. The sequel to the success of 2017 returned with a “Team Ninja in superlative mode”. As we said in our Reviews, Nioh 2 improves each of the aspects that defined the original formula.
