Many consider Nioh to be a fantastic game for fans of the Souls series. That makes Nioh 3 one of the most anticipated – and challenging – games coming in 2026, and reviewers are almost ready to share their thoughts, which feels as daunting as facing a tough boss.
Team Ninja surprised many with the release of Nioh in 2017, improving their standing in the gaming community. This Souls-like game, set in Japan, traded typical fantasy creatures like skeletons and dragons for fearsome Yokai and humans with supernatural powers. Its unique style is instantly recognizable, and fans are eagerly awaiting reviews for the newest installment, Nioh 3.
