Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja have released a lengthy gameplay video for their upcoming action RPG, Nioh 3.
Set for launch in just a couple of weeks on 6th February, the game is looking reliably solid throughout the video, which you can watch here:
Nioh 3 builds upon the first two games with more open ended environments and an adventure taking you through various time periods.

The result is a game with a pretty diverse range of locations; the level design looks more interesting and fleshed out here.
This otherwise looks like familiar territory, really — you're a powerful warrior able to take down demonic baddies, with your mission being to purify the very evil-looking Crucibles popping up throughout history.
You can swap between samurai and ninja combat styles at any time, and you will gain access to lots of different weapon types and magical abilities with which to dispatch foes.
It doesn't look like it's breaking the mould too much, but Nioh has always been a great series, so we're pretty confident the third entry will be another challenging but satisfying action RPG.
Don't forget, there's a playable demo coming to PS5 on 29th January, and your save data will carry over to the full game.

Nice, they implemented a "Jump" mechanic as well! Always seemed like that was a move that was sorely missing from the last 2 entries. Can't wait for that Demo. Probably my most anticipated Game for 2026.
Feel like Nioh 3 has slipped under the radar for most people, this could be down to lack of promotion (until now)
Edit: Forgot they released a demo
Day one!. Demo next week (28th), enough said.
Edit: Just saw in the video they pushed it to 29th ;(
@Oram77 Alpha demo a few months ago, Beta demo with saved progression next week.
@Zeke68 I love when studios do that with demos! Just looking at the steelbook

Very tempted to say the least.
N.i.c.e. Grand theft auto 6 and nioh 3 are my 2 most anticipated games.word up son
As the one who mained odachi in the first game and splitstaff in the second, I'll wait for complete edition. And I still need to finish Wo Long.
@Dalamar Wo long such a good game, criminally underrated,and the dlc is actually really good also with the new weapons and allies, but the bosses are much tougher 🫤 played through recently to warm up before Nioh 3 comes
@Oram77 Just buy it!
And if you beat the demoboss you get a "Twin-snake helmet" as a reward as an ingame item. I assume that is like the +5% XP leveling helmet we got with Nioh 2 demo.
Absolutely love the Nioh series (and pretty much all the other spin-off games) - only wish they'd update their graphics engine, it's beginning to really look tired.
Is this when Nioh finally pops off? 20 million units here we come!
