Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Team Ninja have confirmed that a playable demo for Nioh 3 will be available next month.
The new demo for Nioh 3 is scheduled to launch on both PC and PS5 at the end of January, on January 29th, 2026.
Here is an overview of the new demo, along with a trailer:
Players will have the opportunity to hone their skills in the new demo either solo or in online multiplayer with up to three players*. Once the demo is completed, players can transfer their save data to the final game and continue their quest to become Shogun. More details about the new demo will be revealed at a later date.
Furthermore, exclusive bonuses have been announced for players who receive the early purchase bonus**. These players will receive bonus armor sets inspired by the main characters from the previous titles, including the “Youngblood Armor (Samurai)” worn by William in Nioh and the “Lone Wolf’s Armor (Ninja)” worn by Hiddy in Nioh 2. These items can be obtained by redeeming the early purchase bonus “Hellfrost Armor Set” in the game.
Lastly, there is a special discount available for the Steam® version of Nioh: Complete Edition, allowing players to enjoy the first title in this acclaimed franchise at a 90% discount.
Nioh 3 is currently available for pre-order in both physical and digital formats. Players can pre-order the Digital Deluxe Edition or purchase the Season Pass separately. Additionally, a SteelBook® edition is available for pre-order, which includes the base game and two exclusive bonus DLCs. All versions of the game come with an early purchase bonus* that can be redeemed from the PlayStation™ Store and Steam®, available for a limited time after the game’s release.
Nioh 3 is currently in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and PS5, with a scheduled release date of February 6th, 2026.
