Nioh 3 is the sequel to the dark samurai action RPG series, Nioh. The game will be an open-world, giving players freedom to explore however they want. Of course, taking themes from the Japanese culture means players will be playing around with Samurai and Ninja fighting styles as they battle evil yokai in the world.

Whether you're a fan of the franchise, a souls-like enthusiast, or simply giving the franchise a shot, here's Nioh 3's release date and time for different time zones.
