The Nioh video games have been among the first non-FromSoft Soulslikes to seek out their very own viewers, in all probability partially as a result of they’re probably not Soulslikes in any respect. They’re Crew Ninja motion RPGs, drawn from their wellspring of expertise making such video games, and regardless of Nioh’s 2017 launch date, it spawned from a challenge that started improvement all the best way again in 2004, firmly pre-Souls.
Why all of the preamble, fairly than getting straight into the information? Nicely, as a result of the information is within the headline: Nioh 3 was simply introduced at this night’s State Of Play. As soon as once more it seems prefer it’s coming to PlayStation 5 at launch, with no PC launch in sight.
In contrast to earlier video games within the sequence, Nioh 3 accommodates bigger open areas to be explored, in addition to new “ninja type” fight mode. It is due for launch someday in 2026, however if you happen to’ve acquired a PlayStation 5, there is a demo you may play proper now.
The unique Nioh launched on PlayStation 4 in February 2017 and was obtainable on PC by November of the identical yr. Nioh 2 took a bit of longer, arriving on PS4 in March 2020 and on PC (and PlayStation 5) in February 2021. It appears a protected wager to imagine Nioh 3 will make the leap to PC as effectively, but it surely’s a disgrace that we’ll have to attend but once more.
This night’s State Of Play introduced loads information of video games we can’t want to attend for, together with trailers for Capcom’s Pragmata and IO Interactive’s 007: First Light, that are each launching concurrently throughout platforms.
