Nioh 3 Sells Over 1 Million Copies in Two Weeks

Koei Tecmo announced that Nioh 3, the latest entry in its acclaimed samurai action RPG series, has sold more than one million copies worldwide just two weeks after its launch on February 6, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and PC platforms. Developed by Team Ninja, the game has achieved this milestone faster than any previous title in the franchise, pushing the overall series sales past 10 million units.

The rapid sales success underscores the enduring popularity of the Nioh series, which began with the original game in 2017 and has built a dedicated following for its challenging Soulslike gameplay blended with Japanese historical and mythical elements. Nioh 3 introduces several innovations, including a semi-open world structure with larger explorable zones that offer greater freedom than the more linear levels of its predecessors. Players can engage in fast-paced combat options, such as a new ninja-style approach emphasizing mobility alongside the series' signature samurai mechanics. These changes have been credited with refreshing the formula while maintaining the intense, rewarding difficulty that defines the genre.
