Darkness in the Capital is the second downloadable expansion for Nioh 2, developed by Team NINJA and released in October 2020 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. Set during the Heian period, the expansion continues the action-RPG's blend of hack-and-slash combat and supernatural Japanese history, tasking players with fighting alongside legendary historical figures against a new roster of yokai and demons. The content adds fresh missions, weapons, armor sets, and guardian spirits, as well as new combat abilities that broaden the options available in the base game's already intricate fighting system. Functioning as a self-contained story arc within the broader Nioh 2 narrative, the expansion deepens the game's lore while raising the difficulty ceiling, providing returning players with additional challenges and gear to pursue across its new environments.
