Koei Tecmo Showed Extensive Nioh 3 Gameplay Before Release
The video begins in a region familiar from the alpha demo, then shows new locations — including the ice-covered Heian era and the Bakumatsu period. In each Crucible, players will have to fight fallen heroes twisted by darkness. Defeating them is necessary to cleanse the structures, but requires prior preparation. The surrounding areas are filled with enemies, loot, and temporary power-ups.
The video also demonstrates in detail two combat specializations of Nioh 3. Players can instantly switch between a samurai focused on close combat and a ninja using ninjutsu. Key skills include the ability to go underground and attack suddenly, which is useful for both evasion and attack.
Nioh 3 will be released on February 6, 2026 on PS5 and PC. A free demo with cooperative support will be available on January 29, and progress from the demo can be transferred to the full version of the game.
