Google Translate tells us that Nioh has “succeeded in master up,” the Japanese rendering of the phrase “gone gold.” The tweet thanks fans for being patient, and confirms the game will be released on February 09, 2017.

Nioh wears its Dark Souls inspiration on its sleeve, stepping away from the traditionally frenetic combat found in Team Ninja’s Ninja Gaiden series.
