Nioh 3 to get another demo next month ahead of February launch

Team Ninja have been great in supporting their upcoming releases with free demos for all to check out and enjoy. Such has been the case with the Nioh series, offering various alpha, beta and timed-limited demos across its previous two entries. With Nioh 3 officially confirmed to be launching in early February, Team Ninja have announced a demo for the threequel – arriving one week ahead of the full game.

Announced during The Game Awards, Team Ninja / Koei Tecmo confirmed that Nioh 3 will officially launch on the 6th of February 2026.

For those who can’t wait that long however, a demo will be released shortly ahead of its full arrival, landing on the 29th of January. Unlike the previous Nioh 3 demo from earlier this year, the upcoming snippet appears not to be time-limited.

Additionally, players will be able to transfer their save data over from the demo to the full game upon its release – suggesting that it will likely be the first few playable hours in demo form.

Regardless, having a demo of any kind for a game is an increasingly rare occurrence, and so it is encouraging to see Team Ninja continue to give players the opportunity to try before they buy.
