Get ready, folks, as Koei Tecmo and Team NINJA will bring the Hell Rising DLC for Nioh 3. Mark your calendars, as this DLC launches on August 19.

Check out the DLC overview below via Koei Tecmo.

A New Shadow of Intrigue Takes Over Future Edo in Hell Rising

Our protagonist and appointed shogun, Takechiyo, journeys through time and is led to Edo in the future by an unknown yokai he met in his dreams. There, following the death of the future Takechiyo, the era of peace has ended, and Edo has been retaken by the Crucible. With the cooperation of a one-eyed swordsman, Yagyu Jubei, and a Spanish envoy, Rodrigo, Takechiyo faces yet another plot revolving around Spirit Stones and an enemy with a strong resentment towards the shogunate.

  • New Stage: Edo in 1651, the Keian Era – In 1651, during the Keian era, Edo was supposed to be enveloped in peace. However, the large castle town that was once proof of the shogunate’s authority has transformed into a hellish wasteland plagued by the gales of the Crucible. Yokai, human rebels, and alchemists from foreign lands have descended on Edo, creating a battlefield fraught with chaos. With the shogun’s absence, areas across the Edo castle town have been overridden with yokai. Amidst tense battles against unknown yokai and new mysteries, new encounters await.
  • New Weapons: Hoko & Shield and Ninja Hoko & Shield – A weapon set that balances the offensive capabilities of the short spear with the defensive capabilities of the shield. The hoko & shield and the ninja hoko & shield have a great many uses in battle, ranging from basic attacks like defending with the shield while attacking with the short spear, to tactical moves like flinging the shield at the enemy.
  • A New Enemy Stands Before Takechiyo – Enemies with unprecedented strength stand in Takechiyo’s way, including the one-eyed swordsman, Yagyu Jubei. Dominate fierce battles and obtain new equipment and Soul Cores in order to grow even stronger.
  • A New Horizon: Enlightened One’s Journey – The Enlightened One’s Journey, a difficulty mode that exceeds the Shogun’s Journey, is now available. This mode offers more possibilities for growth, including stronger equipment, additional Soul Cores, higher level caps, and higher +value caps through Soul Matching. (Note: This mode is unlocked by completing the Shogun’s Journey.)

New Equipment: Hundred Demon Realms Picture Scrolls

Fight highly customizable battles over and over again, while carefully selecting the effects of Hundred Demon Realms Picture Scrolls to create self-imposed challenges. Winning the unique battles of each scroll will enable players to unlock that scroll as a piece of equipment and earn the chance to obtain special effects by winning further battles.

The combination of enemies, stages, and special rules offer countless variations. Highly valuable scrolls may also appear at times.

This feature is available not only for solo play, but for multiplayer sessions as well. Train alongside your friends by challenging yourself on millions of battlefields.

Other New Elements

  • New Guardian Spirits, skills, Martial Arts, Ninjutsu, Onmyo Magic, Graces, and more.

Game Overview

Nioh 3 is an action RPG from Team NINJA and Koei Tecmo. This is the third installment in the Nioh series.

Check out the official game description below via Koei Tecmo. 

Conquer the crucible, become shogun.

Overcome difficult challenges in an open field.

This game is set in an open field, in which players can freely explore, while enjoying the unique tension that accompanies all Nioh titles. Face formidable encounters with powerful yokai, explore villages where suspicious beings lurk, take on the daunting challenges of The Crucible, and enjoy the thrilling, hostile new environments as you fight to survive the cursed kingdom!

Two Styles: Samurai and Ninja

In Nioh 3, players can enjoy two different fighting styles: Samurai and Ninja.

Based on the tendencies of the enemies and stages, players can switch seamlessly between Samurai and Ninja techniques instantly at any time, or choose to fight using only one style continuously based on the challenge ahead. Feel free to play with the style you like best.

  • Samurai Style – This style provides a gameplay experience similar to previous Nioh titles. New actions such as “Arts Proficiency”, which enhances the power of martial arts, and “Deflect”, which allows players to block enemy attacks at the last moment, have been added, helping create a series of intense and deadly face-to-face confrontations.
  • Ninja Style – This style excels in quick movements like dodging and aerial actions, giving ninjas the advantage of being able to attack from outside of the enemy’s range by utilizing a variety of “Ninjutsu” techniques according to the situation on the battlefield. Players have the ability to use techniques like “Mist”, which leaves a clone after an attack, and “Evade”, which allows for narrowly avoiding enemy strikes. Both techniques help players outmaneuver foes while delivering devastating speed attacks from behind.

Online Multiplayer

Players will now be able to assist and seek help from other players through the “Summon Visitor” mode, or even explore the open field with others through the online multiplayer mode “Expeditions”, popular in the previous entries of the Nioh series.

This feature will come in handy to those who have reached a stalemate playing solo, or those who would like to overcome challenges together.

Thanks, Gematsu!
