Team Ninja, the prolific studio behind acclaimed titles like Ninja Gaiden and Rise of the Ronin, is set to continue its busy streak into 2026 with the release of Nioh 3. Scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 and PC on February 6, preorders are now officially open. Enthusiasts eager to secure their copy can grab the limited Nioh 3 Steelbook Launch Edition for $70, which also includes bonus downloadable content as a preorder incentive.
Nioh 3 Preorder Bonuses Explained
The exclusive content offered for preordering Nioh 3 varies between its physical and digital editions. Opting for the physical Steelbook Launch Edition grants players a unique Steelbook case adorned with exclusive key art and a slipcover. Additionally, this version includes the Lucky Tanuki Netsuke and Kusanagi Netsuke Charm accessories. Given its limited availability, those interested in this special edition are advised to preorder promptly, as it may sell out quickly post-launch. A standard physical edition is also available, though it foregoes the Steelbook and additional in-game items.
Furthermore, an Early Purchase Bonus is available for all buyers, whether physical or digital. By purchasing any version of Nioh 3 by February 19, 2026, players will unlock the Hellfrost Warrior and Hellfrost Ninja armor and attire sets.
Digital preorders offer even more, bundling the Early Purchase Bonus with three exclusive in-game items: the Hellfire Warrior Attire set, the Hellfire Ninja Attire Set, and the Scampuss Furball Netsuke charm.
Nioh 3 Steelbook Launch Edition Includes:
- Nioh 3 base game
- Exclusive Steelbook case with Nioh 3 key art
- Lucky Tanuki Netsuke charm
- Kusanagi Netsuke charm
- Early Purchase Bonus: Hellfrost Warrior Attire, Hellfrost Ninja Attire (available if purchased by February 19, 2026)
Please note that while this version is priced identically to the standard edition, its availability is finite and it may become scarce shortly after release.
Standard Edition Details:
The standard edition of Nioh 3 is also priced at $70 and includes only the base game in a regular PS5 case, without any additional physical or in-game extras. However, like other versions, purchasing the standard edition before February 19 will still grant access to the Hellfrost Warrior and Ninja Attire sets as part of the Early Purchase bonuses. Digital standard edition preorders further include the Hellfire Warrior Attire, Hellfire Ninja Attire, and Scampuss Furball Netsuke Charm accessory.

Consistent with its predecessors, Nioh 3 delivers a fast-paced, third-person action RPG experience, distinguished by its quicker combat flow compared to many souls-like titles. Players will embody a customizable character, Tokugawa, engaging in intense battles against the Yokai that plague the land. A key innovation in this installment is the introduction of two distinct combat philosophies: Samurai and Ninja. The Samurai style allows for a `Ki Pulse` to regenerate stamina after combos and build an `Arts Proficiency` gauge for devastating finishing moves, complemented by a newly implemented parry system.
The Ninja path emphasizes agility and evasion, featuring swift strikes and the use of specialized ninja tools and unique abilities instead of traditional weapon stances. For instance, the “Mist” ability creates a decoy to distract enemies, while rapid dashes enable players to execute lethal backstabs. Each style boasts its own gear, and seamless mid-battle switching between them is possible, offering dynamic tactical options. Familiar mechanics such as guardian spirit transformations, Soul Cores, and Yokai abilities make a welcome return. Set in a “dark samurai world” overrun by malevolent spirits, the protagonist`s journey will delve into hidden mysteries while progressing towards a cataclysmic event known as the Crucible.
For those looking to dive into the series` history, The Nioh Collection, featuring remastered and enhanced versions of the 2017 and 2020 games along with all their previously released expansion packs, is currently available for PS5 at a discounted price of $34.80 (originally $70). This limited-time Amazon offer is an excellent opportunity to experience the saga.
