Team Ninja game director, Fumihiko Yasuda, has revealed during an interview that the upcoming Nioh: Complete Edition for PC will not include Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM support.

Publisher Koei Tecmo doesn’t have a history of DRM support, but its releases have been few and far between during the last few years when Denuvo has been at the height of its popularity among publishers. Still, it’s good to see a firm no from Yasuda and we’re hopeful Nioh turns out to be a fine port.

The tide definitively seems to have turned against Denuvo for now, and it now seems more likely that AAA titles will launch without Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM than with.

In other related news, Team Ninja has confirmed the Action (1080p 60fps) and Movie (4K 30fps) modes are just graphical presets and not an indicator of locked performance. The resolution, frame rate and rendering quality can all be tweaked independently. That’s about the bare minimum we expect from a PC port, but it’s at least a little better than some had feared.

During the interview with WCCFTech, Yasuda wouldn’t be drawn on the graphical enhancements coming to the PC version of Nioh: Complete Edition compared to the PlayStation 4, although he did sadly confirm that 21:9 Ultrawide screen resolutions will not officially be supported. “There isn’t a company policy and this varies according to the title, but for Nioh the title will not support ultrawide resolutions. We have based the game at 16:9 output and so the resolution settings are based upon this.”

Lastly, Yasuda was also asked why Nioh’s official PC system requirements point towards a humongous 100GB installation when the PlayStation 4 version weighs in at just 39.3GB. It turns out there is a buffer on this, so it may change depending on compression, but it is largely due to having the base game and all three expansion packs included. Whatever the case, I’m sure we can give it a once over with CompactGUI and shrink it down once it launches.

Nioh: Complete Edition launches on PC on November 7th.
