Nioh 3 Getting New Demo in January

Koei Tecmo and Team NINJA announced a new upcoming demo for action RPG Nioh 3. The new demo will be available from January 29, 2026, on PC and PlayStation 5. It will let players play solo or in online multiplayer for up to three players, with save data able to be carried over to the final game. Further details about its contents will be revealed at a later date.

Nioh 3 will release on February 6, 2026, on PC and PlayStation 5 and can be pre-ordered now in physical and digital editions, including a $126.99 Treasure Box Edition exclusively available through NIS America’s online store. The game follows protagonist Tokugawa Takechiyo after he is stripped of his position as the next shogun in the Sengoku era, with his younger brother Tokugawa Kunimatsu leading a horde of yokai against him and resulting in a calamity known as the Crucible. His guardian spirit Kusanagi gives Tokugawa Takechiyo the opportunity to transcend time and save Japan by visiting multiple eras.

Nioh 3 will let players switch between two different styles: Samurai and Ninja. Samurai style is said to be similar to that of previous games in the series, with some new abilities, while Ninja style makes use of quick movements like dodging and aerial actions as well as various special Ninjitsu techniques. The game will also include online multiplayer, with players able to assist and seek help from others using its “Summon Visitor” mode, as well as the returning Expeditions from the previous games.
