Conquer the Purgatory, become the Shogun.
We are in the year Genna 8 (1622).
In Edo Castle, the appointment of the main character Tokugawa Takechiyo as the next Shogun is imminent.
Takechiyo's younger brother, Tokugawa Kunimatsu, looks on with hatred at his brother's rise and succumbs to darkness.
Guided by a sinister force, he leads a horde of Yokai into a fierce battle against Takechiyo.
An era of peace suddenly turns into hell. In his greatest need, Takechiyo traverses time thanks to the mysterious power of his guardian spirit Kusanagi.
Overcome difficult challenges in an open field
The game takes place in an open, freely explorable field. Experience the unique thrill that all Nioh titles offer. Face challenging confrontations with powerful Yokai, explore villages filled with suspicious beings, take on the heavy challenges of purgatory, and enjoy excitingly hostile new environments as you fight for survival in the cursed kingdom!
Two styles: Samurai and Ninja
In "Nioh 3," you can utilize two different combat styles: Samurai and Ninja.
You can seamlessly switch between Samurai techniques and Ninja techniques at any time. Use only one style throughout or switch between styles depending on the enemy or level, as the upcoming challenge requires. Play with the style that suits you best.
Online Multiplayer
With the "Summon Visitor" mode, you can now help other players or receive help from them. Additionally, you can explore the open field with others using the online multiplayer mode "Expeditions," which was very popular in earlier installments of the "Nioh" series. This feature is especially useful when you are stuck on your own or prefer to overcome challenges together.
