Koei Tecmo America and developer Team Ninja have announced that Nioh 3, their latest action RPG, has sold over 1 million copies worldwide, making it the fastest installment in the franchise to reach this milestone. The Nioh franchise has now surpassed 10 million copies sold across all titles. To celebrate, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja released a trailer highlighting media praise for Nioh 3. In Nioh 3, players take on the role of Tokugawa Takechiyo, poised to become the next shogun during Japan’s Edo period. However, Takechiyo’s younger brother, Tokugawa Kunimatsu, consumed by envy and empowered by a sinister force, plots to overthrow him. Kunimatsu leads a horde of yokai, abruptly ending Japan’s era of peace and plunging the country into chaos. Guided by the mysterious power of his spirit guardian, Kusanagi, Takechiyo transcends time to save his devastated land and become shogun.

The story unfolds on a grand scale, encompassing various eras and regions, including Edo Castle, the Totomi region during the Warring States period, the Heian capital Kyoto, and the Bakumatsu period (a first for the series). Players can freely explore each era across vast open fields, each featuring uniquely designed environments. Nioh 3 features two contrasting combat styles—Samurai and Ninja—which players can switch between during battle, each with unique techniques for overcoming challenges and unleashing rapid attacks. Nioh 3 launched in early February 2026 and offers several purchase options. The Standard Digital Edition includes the base game, while the Digital Deluxe Edition features exclusive items and a Season Pass granting access to two upcoming DLCs. The Season Pass is also available separately. A limited-edition PlayStation 5 physical edition, exclusive to the NIS America Store, includes the base game, a Scampuss Furball Netsuke Charm Keychain, an original desk pad, an artbook, and a selection soundtrack CD.

Physical editions of the game are also available. A SteelBook Launch Edition with a premium metal case can be purchased at launch. In Brazil, a special physical Steelbook edition with an exclusive premium metal box is distributed by 1080 Partners in partnership with Gamer Hut for R$399.89, a price similar to the digital version. A prepurchase bonus, redeemable on the PlayStation Store and Steam for a limited time after launch, includes the Hellfrost Armor Set, redeemable in-game until February 20, 2026. Bonus armor sets inspired by protagonists from previous titles—Youngblood (Samurai) Armor and Lone Wolf (Ninja) Armor—are available for eligible players who preordered. These bonuses could become available for purchase or as free additional content at a later date. Nioh 3 is now available for PlayStation 5 and PC Windows via Steam, along with a free demo on both platforms.
