We're Returning to Nioh 3 on 29 January 2026
Are you ready to become the new Shogun?
At The Game Awards 2025 ceremony, KOEI TECMO EUROPE and Team Ninja announced that the next demo for Nioh 3 will be available on 29 January 2026, on PlayStation®5 and Windows PC via Steam®. On the occasion of presenting a new action-packed trailer, the two companies also revealed the pre-order bonuses for those who purchase the game before its official launch, scheduled for 6 February 2026.
The promotional package for pre-ordering Nioh 3 includes two bonus armour sets, inspired by the protagonists of previous titles. “Youngblood Armor (Samurai)” recalls the armour worn by William Adams, while “Lone Wolf’s Armor (Ninja)” is inspired by Saito Hide's equipment. Both sets will be unlocked along with the standard pre-order bonus, “Hellfrost Armour”.
If you didn't get a chance to try the first demo, the second one will be available starting 29 January 2026 and can be played both solo and in online multiplayer, with up to three players. Unlike the previous demo, progress made in this version will be saved and fully transferred to the complete game after purchase, allowing players to continue their adventure exactly from where the demo ends.
In addition, for those who want to familiarise themselves better with the Nioh universe, the complete edition of the first game has a 90% discount on Steam®, and can be purchased for €4.99 until 18 December 2025.
The game is already available for pre-order, in three editions: Standard, Digital Deluxe and SteelBook®, the latter offering exclusive content. Any pre-order includes bonus items designed to help players more easily survive their first confrontation with the horrors of the game.
And for those who want to delve deeper into the history of samurai and the Nioh universe, the British Museum is preparing a special exhibition dedicated to the famous Japanese warriors. The event will be open to the public between 3 February and 4 May 2026.
Nioh 3 will be released on 6 February 2026 on PlayStation 5 and PC (Windows), via Steam®.
