Nioh 3 May Land On Other Consoles After PC And PS5, New Trailer Shows

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.
