Nioh fans hoping the latest entry would arrive on more than just PC and PlayStation 5 may be in luck, as the game's latest trailer suggests that it could arrive on other platforms just six months after its launch later this week.
According to a features trailer posted to PlayStation's official YouTube channel on January 29, Team Ninja's upcoming souls-like will be allowed to release on other platforms six months after its PC and PS5 debut on February 6. The language is quite specific: "[Nioh 3 will not be] available on other consoles until at least [six] months after February 6, 2026." This means the latest souls-like action-RPG from the Japanese developer could land on Xbox--and maybe even Nintendo--consoles as soon as August 2026.
If you remember the previous entries in the franchise--2017's Nioh and 2020's Nioh 2--neither came to any other platform, staying locked to both PC and PlayStation consoles for the duration of their releases (and even to this day).
Nioh 3 is the upcoming entry in the Nioh franchise that makes a number of changes when compared to the previous two games. The biggest difference is the dedicated ninja and samurai styles, which allow you hot-swap between the tanker samurai and the swifter ninja for more freedom in combat and exploration. Exploration is another massive change, with Nioh 3 borrowing the sort of open-world structure of 2024's Rise of the Ronin while maintaining the linear levels of 2023's Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty to make something that feels like a greatest hits album of Team Ninja's recent output. And the narrative this time reveals that while you still kill yokai, you also jump between eras to become shogun.
Nioh 3 launches on February 6 for PC and PlayStation 5. A free demo is available right now until at least February 15, and not only does your saved data carry over to the full release, but you'll also receive the Twin-Snake helmet as a reward should you complete it before then.
