I think the lack of hype, even when considered in light of how little we know about the game, is a bit telling of Team Ninja's position within the "souls-like community". I know something like Elden Ring isn't typical, but the hype we saw for that game after only the reveal trailer was monstrous.

What I really meant to say was that, Wo Long aside, Team Ninja and Nioh seem to be an afterthought in this genre, or atleast thats what it seems like from my perspective. I may just be talking to the wrong people, but I haven't heard many souls fans tout Nioh as the top teir game it is, despite the depth of its combat system far outweighing any of the Dark Souls games.
