Conquer the Crucible, Become Shogun

An open field that challenges you to the fullest

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.

Samurai and Ninja fighting styles

In "Nioh 3", you can enjoy two different fighting styles: Samurai and Ninja.
You can switch instantaneously and seamlessly between Samurai and Ninja Styles during battle, or you can fight using one style continuously based on the challenges posed by enemies and the terrain. Enjoy the freedom of playing with the style you prefer.

Samurai Style

This style provides a gameplay experience similar to previous "Nioh" titles. New actions such as Arts Proficiency, which enhances the power of Martial Arts, and Deflect, which allows you to redirect enemy attacks at the last moment, have been added, helping create a series of intense and deadly face-to-face confrontations.

Ninja Style

This style excels in quick movements like dodging and aerial actions, giving ninjas the advantage of being able to attack from outside of the enemy’s range by utilizing a variety of Ninjutsu techniques according to the situation on the battlefield. You have the ability to use techniques like Mist, which leaves a clone after an attack, and Evade, which allows for narrowly avoiding enemy strikes. Both techniques help you outmaneuver foes while delivering devastating speed attacks from behind.

Online Multiplayer

You will now be able to assist and seek help from other players through the Summon Visitor mode, or even explore the open field with others through the online multiplayer mode Expeditions, popular in the previous entries of the "Nioh" series.
This feature will come in handy for those who have reached a stalemate playing solo, or those who would like to overcome challenges alongside other players.
