My name is Nioh
Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja have released a lengthy gameplay video for their upcoming action RPG, Nioh 3.
Set for launch in just a couple of weeks on 6th February, the game is looking reliably solid throughout the video, which you can watch here:
Nioh 3 builds upon the first two games with more open ended environments and an adventure taking you through various time periods.
The result is a game with a pretty diverse range of locations; the level design looks more interesting and fleshed out here.
This otherwise looks like familiar territory, really — you’re a powerful warrior able to take down demonic baddies, with your mission being to purify the very evil-looking Crucibles popping up throughout history.
You can swap between samurai and ninja combat styles at any time, and you will gain access to lots of different weapon types and magical abilities with which to dispatch foes.
It doesn’t look like it’s breaking the mould too much, but Nioh has always been a great series, so we’re pretty confident the third entry will be another challenging but satisfying action RPG.
Don’t forget, there’s a playable demo coming to PS5 on 29th January, and your save data will carry over to the full game.
