Nioh 3

In Nioh 3, players take on the role of Tokugawa Takechiyo, poised to become the next Shogun during Japan's turbulent Sengoku period. In the shadows, Takechiyo's younger brother, Tokugawa Kunimatsu, consumed by hatred towards his brother's succession, plots to overthrow him. Empowered by a sinister force, he leads a horde of yokai in a fierce assault on Takechiyo, abruptly ending the era of peace and plunging Japan into hell. Guided by the mysterious power of his guardian spirit Kusanagi, Takechiyo transcends time to survive this kingdom in dire straits and become Shogun.

Covering various eras and regions, Nioh 3 includes Edo Castle and the Tōtōmi region during the Sengoku period, which players were able to explore in the Alpha demo, as well as the recently unveiled Kyoto, the capital of the Heian period. Players will also be able to freely explore each era in open-field experience, featuring beautiful and distinct environments. During his perilous quest to foil his brother's conspiracy, Takechiyo will face various yokai and other powerful enemies, while taking on the challenge of the Crucible.

This game features an open field filled with the sense of tension characteristic of the Nioh series while also allowing you to explore to your heart's content. In this dark samurai world, you will encounter formidable yokai, explore menacing villages where darkness lurks, and struggle against the ominous presence of "the Crucible." You can enjoy an instantaneous and seamless switch between two combat styles during battle, facing your enemies head-on with Samurai Style and using quick movements and special techniques with Ninja Style.
