Nioh 3 Release Date Leaked by Amazon Japan

In an intriguing development, Amazon Japan briefly listed a release date for Nioh 3, as highlighted by Twitter user Renka_schedule. The game is reportedly set to launch on February 6, 2026. Although the product page has since been removed—likely due to a request from KOEI TECMO—the date aligns with previous confirmations of an early 2026 release. Notably, it also coincides closely with the anniversary of the franchise, with the original Nioh having debuted on February 7, 2017.

Exclusive Treasure Box Edition Details

The now-removed Amazon listing also revealed a special Treasure Box edition, which promises fans a selection of enticing physical items:

B5-size official art book
Soundtrack CD featuring selected tracks

Sunekosuri fur ball key chain

Fresh Insights from Upcoming State of Play

Nioh 3 was initially unveiled during Sony’s June State of Play event, and fans anticipate more insights during the upcoming September State of Play, beginning at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 11 PM CET. Additionally, the game is set to be featured in the TGS 2025 Official Program, which will air at 8 PM JST tomorrow. Expect to see General Producer Yasuda and Producer Shibata, along with host Hatsune Matsushima, discussing exciting updates and showcasing gameplay against a formidable boss in the new “Heian Period”setting.

Innovations and Gameplay Enhancements

A significant change in Nioh 3, compared to its predecessors, is the ability to seamlessly switch between samurai and ninja combat styles at any moment. This is a game-changer for players looking to tailor their strategies in real-time. Moreover, the introduction of an open-field environment marks a departure from the more linear layouts of previous titles, enhancing the sense of exploration and freedom within the game world.

Another notable shift is in the game’s availability. Unlike earlier versions that premiered exclusively on PlayStation, Nioh 3 will see a simultaneous release on both PlayStation 5 and PC, ensuring a broader reach for fans across platforms.
