Her City View

Players can once again conquer the Crucible with the release of Hell Rising, the first DLC for dark samurai action RPG, Nioh 3 from KOEI TECMO America and developer Team NINJA.

In Hell Rising, players travel to the Keian era where they will encounter a version of Edo in the midst of a crisis following the death of the future shogun, Takechiyo. Joined by the one-eyed swordsman Yagyu Jubei and the Spanish envoy Rodrigo, players will explore an emerging mystery surrounding the Spirit Stones.

The new open-field map, the Keian era, will feature a hellish wasteland ravaged by the gales of the Crucible, where yokai, human rebels and alchemists from foreign lands roam.

In addition, Nioh 3’s second DLC, Bloody Insurrection, is currently in development, with more information to be revealed soon. Hell Rising is now available for PlayStation®5 and PC Steam™.

Nioh 3 - Hell Rising DLC Vol. 1 First Look Trailer



In Nioh 3, released in February 2026, players take on the role of Tokugawa Takechiyo, poised to become the next shogun during Japan’s prosperous Edo era.

The story unfolds on a larger scale than ever before in series history, covering various eras and regions including Edo Castle, the Totomi region during the Warring States era, the Heian era's capital city of Kyoto, and, for the first time in the franchise’s history, the Bakumatsu era.

Players can freely explore each era as a vast open field, featuring beautiful and distinct environments.

Before launching into the full game, players have the opportunity to hone their skills in the free demo, which includes both solo play and online multiplayer mode for up to three players on both PlayStation®5* and Windows PC via Steam®**. (*PlayStation®5 users in Germany will need to have a PlayStation®Plus account in order to download and play the demo. **Cross-play is not supported for online multiplayer mode.)

Fans can create their own custom character and dive into the turbulent Warring States era, even testing their abilities in an electrifying boss fight against Jakotsu-baba, with the ability to carry over save data to the full version of the game.

Nioh 3 is now available worldwide on PlayStation®5 and Windows PC via Steam®. The game includes Japanese and English voices with texts in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
