Nioh 3, the next installment in Team Ninja's souls-like action RPG lineup that's been generating buzz, now has an official launch date. They revealed it back in the spring, and it's picking up where the earlier games left off while tossing in a couple of fresh elements. It's rooted in the setup from Nioh 2, but expect tweaks like seamless swaps between two combat approaches, levels with more freedom to explore, and similar additions.
Just like Team Ninja's latest release, Rise of the Ronin, Nioh 3 sticks to PlayStation consoles at launch. That said, it'll drop on PC alongside the PS5 version. Below, you'll find all the essentials on Nioh 3, covering pre-order options, versions, costs, and beyond.
Nioh 3 Release Date and Platforms
Nioh 3 hits shelves on February 6, 2026. It's heading to PlayStation 5 (PS5) and Windows PC (via Steam). In line with other Team Ninja titles, there's no early access reward for pre-ordering. That changes if you grab the Digital Deluxe Edition, which unlocks “early” entry to the DLCs after launch. Two story DLCs are on the schedule for Nioh 3.
Word on those DLCs hasn't dropped yet. Plus, following the pattern of past Nioh entries, it's not eyeing an Xbox Series release. Things could shift down the line, but with SIE (Sony Interactive Entertainment) helping fund the series, that's a long shot.
Nioh 3 Editions and Prices
Echoing the structure from earlier Nioh games and Rise of the Ronin, Nioh 3 comes in two flavors: Standard and Deluxe. The Standard Edition goes for $69.99, which covers the main game plus pre-order perks. The Deluxe Edition bumps up to $109.99.
