The action role-playing game "Nioh" is coming to PC on Nov. 7. It will be a Steam exclusive and will come with all downloadable content (DLC) expansion packs.

The DLC included in "Nioh: Complete Edition" are "Dragon of the North," "Defiant Honor" and "Bloodshed's End." These DLCs will add new locations, characters, weapons and new spirits to the original "Nioh" experience.

According to the official description, "Dragon of the North" follows William's valiant struggle in the main game and opens up the Oshu region, where ambitious ruler Masamune Date is secretly gathering spirit stones."

Players will have the chance to traverse through new locations as they fight monstrous foes. They will also have to complete the main campaign before they can access the DLC, but it rewards them with brand-new spirits to play with.

Meanwhile, "Defiant Honor" takes players to Osaka Castle, described as "the largest and most impregnable castle of Sengoku era." In this DLC, players will get the chance to meet legendary warrior Sanada Yukimura. A war is brewing between the Tokugawa and Toyotomi clan and the player character and Sanada get thrown into the chaos of it all.

The last DLC, "Bloodshed's End," brings players back to Japan months after the events of "Defiant Honor." The country is on the verge of war and William must find allies to aid him in his battle against Tokugawa. Aside from new weapons and armor, the DLC also comes with brand-new bosses to fight and new main missions to complete.

"Nioh" was originally released for the PlayStation 4 earlier in February. Set in the 1600s, the game puts players in the shoes of Irish samurai, William. The players must navigate William through Japan, aiding him as he slays both opposing samurais and supernatural beings called Yokai.

The game received mostly positive ratings and received 88 out of 100 on Metacritic.
