The Nioh Collection releases worldwide beginning February 5 for PS5 including Nioh Remastered – The Complete Edition and Nioh 2 Remastered – The Complete Edition. Nioh 2 Complete Edition comes to PC via Steam on the same day. With the Nioh Collection PS5 release coming up, there was no information about the contents of the physical release or even an official confirmation for it from Sony. When the collection was announced, Team Ninja said there are no details for a physical release outside Japan. Multiple retailers across North America, Europe, and Australia had put up listings since with pre-orders going live for $69.99 and no word on whether this was releasing in India yet. Retailer J & L Game in New York City has a listing for the Nioh Collection on PS5 with photographs of the actual game case confirming that it includes two discs as shown on the back of the case.
