Nioh 3 has officially been announced by Koei Tecmo, continuing the developer’s hardcore Soulslike action series on PlayStation 5. Available to try in demo form today, the new enty in the brutal action series makes some major advancements over Nioh 2.
Nioh 3 is more open than before
Confirmed during the latest PlayStation State of Play, Nioh 3 aims to be a massive advancement over its predecessor. Taking a cue from Elden Ring, the new Soulslike focuses on more “open fields” level design instead of the series’ typical linear games.
Alongside the larger environemnts, players won’t only have their usual Samurai style of combat. Instead, players will be able to switch between that and a brand-new Ninja style of fighting with much faster combat than ever before.
Nioh 3 will also continue the series’ trademark difficulty against epic boss fights with players squaring up against many Oni.
