More late-game Sub Missions, Titles, and Smithing Texts
Just when I think I’m out, they pull me right back in.
While the big “Wait,really?” part of this week’sNiohupdate is undoubtedly the newfound ability to pause the game when you aren’t in multiplayer and summoning a co-op visitor, that’s far from all.
Team Ninja has also added challenging side missions scattered across the map, fresh Titles to earn (which involve not getting hit and meeting time requirements in the new missions), and more Smithing Texts for crafting. There’s also a long list of nitty-gritty “adjustments and improvements.”
Added new Titles. (Obtainable in additional missions.)
Added new Smithing Texts. (Obtainable in additional missions.)
