Nioh 3 – PlayStation 5

Dark samurai action RPG Dual combat styles: Samurai & Ninja Open-field exploration across Japan Single-player & online co-op modes

Conquer the Crucible, Become Shogun

In Nioh 3, you step into the role of Tokugawa Takechiyo, a rising warlord fighting yokai and rival clans as he ascends toward the title of shogun. Travel through eras of Japanese history, from war-torn Kyoto to other pivotal periods, while facing both legendary warriors and terrifying spirits.

This latest entry in Team Ninja’s acclaimed action RPG series evolves the formula with an open-field structure, giving you larger interconnected areas filled with side quests, combat challenges, hidden shrines, and deadly ambushes. Every route you choose through the Crucible can unlock new rewards – or new ways to die.

Core Combat and Exploration

Two Distinct Combat Styles

Swap instantly between Samurai and Ninja styles in battle. Samurai stance-based combat focuses on timing, Ki management, and heavy counters, while Ninja emphasizes agile evasion, aerial attacks, and tactical tools.

Open-Field Missions Across Japan

Move through larger interconnected areas instead of linear stages. Discover side quests, optional duels, yokai nests, and hidden shortcuts that reward smart exploration and careful risk-taking.

Deep Loot and Build Crafting

Collect weapons, armor, and Soul Cores to create highly specialized builds. Tune stats, guardian spirits, and arts to push your preferred style – from tanky samurai bruiser to glass-cannon ninja.

Relentless Yokai and Boss Battles

Face brutal human warriors and towering yokai in encounters that demand pattern recognition, stance control, and aggressive offense. Every boss fight is a wall you learn to tear down through mastery.

Play Alone or Together on PS5

Summon Visitors or Go on Expeditions

Call in help during tough missions with the Summon Visitor mode, or explore open fields together in Expedition co-op. Share the loot, the boss walls, and the satisfaction of finally clearing them.

Fully Customizable Warrior

Use an in-depth character creator to define your version of Takechiyo, then grow them through skill trees, weapon mastery, and guardian spirits as you carve a bloody path toward the shogunate.

Multiple Eras, Optional Challenges

Travel between key periods of Japanese history, meet famous figures, and tackle side missions and combat trials that deepen the story while pushing your build to its limits.

Post-Launch Expansions Planned

A planned season of DLC adds new weapons, missions, and story chapters after launch, keeping Nioh 3’s dark samurai world evolving long beyond your first clear.
