Mission:
Nioh 2 Closed Alpha
The Nioh 2 Closed Alpha is an invitation-only alpha available for select Playstation 4 players of the original Nioh title. In the alpha, players can preview some Character Creation options, although the customization is not fully available.
A tutorial showcasing basic mechanics is also present.
Players can then enter Tatara Mountain and play a mission to test out the new features of the game. The mission: The Beast Born of Smoke and Flames (Investigate the source of the smoke enveloping Tatara Mountain)
1555, Mt. Tatara
Tatara Mountain, a village nestled beside a mountain lake, received its name due to the countless drifters that settled there over the years and formed the backbone of its iron production. Now, the once bustling village lies in ruin and only a select few blacksmiths are permitted to enter the forge found at its heart.

To anyone having trouble fiding the post Alph Demo survey, its in the drop down when you hover over the Nioh 2 Alpha Demo. In the "more from Nioh 2 Alpha Demo" section on the PSN. It has a picture of a cute little purple Sodama. Survey took me about 10 minutes, probably would take most people a little less time than that.
