Earlier this February, it was confirmed that Nioh 3 has become the fastest-selling entry in the series. Beyond its commercial success, the game has been a hit with critics, boasting an average score of 85/100. You can check out our full review, where we break down the game's highs and lows, right here.

Set in 15th-16th century Japan, Nioh 3 follows the power struggles of a country torn apart by civil war. Players step into the shoes of Tokugawa Takechiyo as he faces off against his own brother—a rival for the title of Shogun who commands an army of ferocious Yokai to achieve his goals.

In other news, a new Dead or Alive title was teased in early 2026. While it currently lacks an official title or release date, you can catch the brief teaser trailer here.
