Unlike previous games, Nioh 3 offers two distinct combat styles: Samurai and Ninja. With this new system, players can combine different gameplay dynamics. The Samurai style focuses on the series’ classic close-combat mechanics.

The Ninja style, on the other hand, features agile and quick moves, emphasizing dodging enemy attacks and aerial maneuvers. Players can switch between these two styles in real time to develop strategies depending on the situation.

There is also a significant change in gameplay structure. Team Ninja stated that the traditional level-based progression of previous games will be replaced by a freer system. While not fully open-world, Nioh 3 will feature an “open area” system that allows players more freedom to explore.

The game’s Steam page has also been published and is available for user preview. However, there is currently no Turkish subtitle or language support.
