Nioh 3 Announced with Playable Demo
New entry for Nioh series, Nioh 3 has announced along with playable demo.
New Nioh Game, Nioh 3
Nioh 3 received an announcement trailer during June’s State of Play, confirming the latest addition to the dark fantasy series. However, fans were surprised to learn they could play the game straightaway through a free, limited-time demo. Available to play now exclusively on PlayStation 5, players will see the return of the character creation feature, and Team Ninja noted the devs are keen to hear fans’ feedback. Nioh 2 is among the stellar soulslike games with the best combat, and Nioh 3 is set to evolve that feat with two combat styles. Building on the familiar Samurai style, Nioh 3 will also offer players a new Ninja style, allowing for quicker movements through dodging and aerial performances.
At the start of the year, Team Ninja teased its 30th anniversary plans for 2025, and the Nioh 3 reveal was a surprise that did not disappoint. Gamers previously suspected some of the anniversary celebrations would involve the developer’s Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden franchises, after Fumihiko Yasuda noted upcoming release titles would be “fitting for the occasion.” Expectations were true to some extent, as the recent State of Play showcase also yielded a trailer for Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, a new side scroller releasing in July 2025.
