Jun 06 2025

  At Sony's PlayStation State of Play, Koei Tecmo and development team Team Ninja officially announced "Nioh 3", and the game will be released in 2026. Today, PlayStation China has released a detailed introduction to this work, come and read it together.

Become the next shogun and stand up against evil

In "Niwang 3", the protagonist is a young samurai who is about to become the next shogun. Why is he committed to fighting monsters? Let's talk about these details another day, but today we can tell you that as the battle unfolds, players will be able to fight in two different combat styles: Samurai and Ninja.

  Samurai style provides players with similar game experiences to the previous work of "Nioh". New actions such as "Cleaning skills" and "blocking" are added. Cleaning skills can enhance the power of martial arts, while blocking allows players to block the enemy's attacks at the last moment, helping to launch a series of fierce and deadly head-on duels.

  The ninja style is good at fast movements such as dodging and air operations. He can use various "ninjutsu" to launch attacks from outside the enemy's attack range according to the situation on the battlefield. Players can use ninjutsu such as "Kami" and "Seeking Through". "Kami" can leave a clone after attack, and "Seeking Through" can avoid the enemy's attacks. Both of these ninjutsu help the player to outwit the enemy while launching attacks from behind at an astonishing speed.

Players can switch combat styles at any time and play in their favorite style in a plot full of powerful, swift and cunning masters. Depending on the characteristics of the enemy and level, some players will like to switch smoothly between samurai and ninja styles, while others will choose to continue fighting in only one style based on the following challenges. Welcome to use your favorite style to compete with the most fierce enemies we have created so far!

  The challenging open battlefield

  In addition to the new combat style, "Niwang 3" also allows players to enjoy an open battlefield environment, providing new freedom of exploration for the tense atmosphere and duel scenes of the signature "Niwang" series. Experience a chance encounter with a terrifying monster, explore suspicious villages full of brutal secrets, and accept the terrifying challenge of "hell". Fight to survive in a cursed country and enjoy a new and thrilling environment!
