Nioh 3 takes the series' signature features to a whole new level, featuring challenging samurai action and a rich original story interweaving feudal conflict, immersive hack-and-slash combat and a range of online multiplayer options.

    Why you should play Nioh 3

    A bold new design

    Explore an open field that combines freedom of exploration with the distinct tension unique to the Nioh series. Encounter formidable yokai unexpectedly and face the ominous challenge of Crucibles. Experience a field truly worthy of being called the 'Dark Sengoku'.

    Dual combat styles

    During battle, enjoy an instantaneous and seamless switch between two distinct combat styles. Face enemies head-on with the uncompromising Samurai style or overwhelm them with the fast-paced Ninja style.

    Battle across time

    Starting from Edo Castle, travel through various worlds and historical periods including the Sengoku, Heian and Bakumatsu eras. Along the way, you'll meet a diverse range of characters, face formidable enemies and uncover hidden truths in an epic adventure through ancient Japan.

    Fight to the death

    Many yokai, powerful enemies and Crucibles stand in the way of the protagonist Takechiyo. Traverse time and survive battles to the death against formidable foes.

    People also ask:

    No, while it shares common themes and settings with prior titles, Nioh 3 is designed as standalone experience, perfect for returning fans and newcomers alike.

    Yes, all progress you make in the Nioh 3 demo can be carried through to the full game.

    Nioh 3 is available at launch on both PC and PlayStation 5 consoles.

    While some enemies can seem daunting at first, Nioh 3 places a huge amount of emphasis on player choice, giving you the freedom to tackle challenging enemies in a way that best suits you. Not only this, you're also able to summon support via Benevolent Graves (which summon an NPC companion to aid you in combat) or online co-op, in which you can summon other players into your world through online play to help even the odds.

    While prior titles in the Nioh series focus on more traditional level design, Nioh 3 takes an 'open field' approach, providing much larger zones for the player to explore with far greater freedom for discovery and tactical play.

    Nioh 3 isn't the continuation of any story from earlier in series. Rather, it draws from the same mix of Japanese culture, history and mythology to weave a tale of political intrigue, armed conflict and dark supernatural forces - the sort for which the series is well-loved.
