As anticipation builds following The Game Awards 2025, fans of Team NINJA’s acclaimed samurai action RPG series have reason to celebrate.


KOEI TECMO and Team NINJA have officially announced that a brand-new demo for Nioh 3 will be available on January 29, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.


The demo will allow players to experience intense solo adventures or team up online with up to three other warriors. However, cross-play will not be supported in either the demo or the full game. Importantly, progress made in the demo can be carried over to the final release.


Nioh 3 will officially launch on February 6, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and PC, continuing the series’ tradition of blending historical fantasy with brutal yokai battles.


Nioh 3 is set in 1622, continuing the saga in a dark fantasy version of Japan. Players take on the role of Tokugawa Takechiyo, heir to the Tokugawa shogunate, who must face his brother Tokugawa Kunimatsu, now corrupted and leading yokai forces. Assisting Takechiyo is Himiko, the mythical queen of Yamatai, adding a legendary twist to the narrative.
