Nioh 3 Dev Shares How Ninja Gaiden Influenced The Combat Overhaul

We really wanted to push things forward with the next game and create a core action mechanic that felt totally new. As the team behind Ninja Gaiden, we’ve got a ton of experience making awesome ninja games, just as much as we do with the samurai combat in Nioh. We figured adding ninja would be a huge hit, especially with players outside of Japan, and it felt like a natural fit within Nioh’s Japanese setting. Honestly, it just seemed like the perfect way to evolve the gameplay.
