On PS5 the release is at midnight local time, except in North America: as soon as it hits midnight EST the game will be playable regardless of location. That means 9 p.m. PST on Thursday, Feb. 5; 12 a.m. EST on Friday, Feb. 6; and midnight local time (12 a.m.) on Friday, Feb. 6 for BRT, GMT, CET, JST and AEDT.
PS5 players can preload Nioh 3 now at 79GB if they pre-ordered digitally; PC preloading is not available. Demo progress can be carried forward to the main game on both PC and PS5. The game features an open world split into four regions with side objectives and gated story progression; it is a Soulslike with tough combat, respawning enemies and grotesque boss fights, and the reviewer spent over 30 hours exploring the first region.
