A leak from Amazon Japan may have revealed the release date for Nioh 3 ahead of any official announcement from Team Ninja or Koei Tecmo. The listing, which briefly appeared before being taken down, suggested that the highly anticipated action RPG is scheduled to launch on February 6. The game is expected to release on PlayStation 5 and PC through Steam, continuing the series’ tradition of blending historical settings with supernatural combat.
The Amazon Japan page showed two different editions of Nioh 3. The standard version was accompanied by a special “Treasure Box” edition that appeared to include a variety of extras. Among the listed items were a B5-size official art book, a CD soundtrack, a desk mat, and a keychain modeled after the Sunekosuri, a creature from Japanese folklore that has appeared in previous entries. The listing also included box art, which circulated online before the page was removed.
Neither Team Ninja nor Koei Tecmo has confirmed the leaked release date, and the companies have not issued a statement regarding the Amazon Japan listing. The timing of the leak has led to speculation that an official announcement may arrive soon, possibly during Tokyo Game Show 2025 or at an upcoming PlayStation State of Play broadcast. Industry watchers believe Koei Tecmo is likely to use one of these high-profile events to lock in the official release details.
If accurate, the February 6 release would place Nioh 3 in an already competitive early-year launch window. Several major titles are expected to be released during the first quarter of 2026, and the arrival of Team Ninja’s latest project would add another heavyweight to the calendar. For long-time fans, the Amazon listing is one of the clearest indications yet that the next chapter of the series is nearing completion and approaching release.
The Nioh series has built a reputation for its challenging combat, deep customization, and atmospheric reimagining of Japan’s Sengoku period infused with mythological elements. Nioh 2 expanded the formula with new mechanics and co-op features, and anticipation for the third entry has been high since it was first confirmed to be in development. A playable demo has already been made available to select audiences, giving players a first look at how the game builds on its predecessors.
While the Amazon Japan leak provides compelling evidence of the game’s planned release date, it remains unofficial until Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo issue confirmation. For now, fans will have to wait for an official statement, though it seems increasingly likely that February 2026 will be the month players return to the brutal battlefields of Nioh.
