KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Team NINJA have released a brand-new demo for their dark samurai action RPG Nioh 3 on PlayStation 5 and Windows PC via Steam. The demo allows players to explore the early stages of the game and claim an exclusive in-game bonus item.
Sharpen Your Blades Before Launch
The demo offers both solo play and online multiplayer for up to three players, letting aspiring shoguns:
- Create their own custom character
- Explore the turbulent Warring States period
- Face off against the electrifying boss Jakotsu-baba
Save data from the demo carries over to the full game. Players who complete the demo by 15th February 2026 will receive the Twin-Snake Helmet, usable in the full version of the game.
Note: PlayStation®5 users in Germany need a PlayStation Plus subscription to access the demo. Online multiplayer does not support cross-play, and players who claimed the bonus in the Alpha Demo cannot obtain it again.
