Ready for more punishment? Well, it doesn't matter what you want, because Team Ninja is launching the next DLC expansion for Nioh this month whether you like it or not. Nioh's Defiant Honor DLC will deliver new weapons, Yokai, and the "most impregnable castle of Sengoku era" for you to tackle. Hoo boy!

Here's how Team Ninja describes Defiant Honor:

Defiant Honor takes us to Osaka Castle, the largest and most impregnable castle of Sengoku era. As tensions brew between the Tokugawa and Toyotomi clans, legendary warrior Sanada Yukimura prepares his men for imminent conflict against the Tokugawa's forces by building a stronghold called the Sanada Maru on the outskirts of the Osaka Castle. In the midst of this chaos, our hero William heads towards Sanada Maru in pursuit of Maria. It is a bitter winter in Osaka and the stage is ripe for a fierce battle for the ages. Bundle up and get ready for a brutal winter showdown!

This clash would not be complete without providing you with the necessary ammo to wage an intense battle. Therefore, we will be delivering a deadly new weapon Tonfa, new armor, new magic items, guardian spirits and of course brand new Yokai and enemies to test your mettle! New difficulty levels and Trophies will also be implemented for Defiant Honor. All this action takes place within exciting new stages and numerous sub-missions! So, there's plenty of combat to be held and new challenges to be mastered.

My palms are sweating just reading that description. I'm certain this DLC will be way too hard for me to ever tackle, but I'm sure the hardcore Nioh masters will have a ball with it.

Defiant Honor will be available for $10, or as part of the Nioh season pass, on July 25.
