Nioh 3 is about to receive its first major story expansion, titled Hell's Rising, which promises to take players on an unforgettable journey through 1651 Edo during the Keian Era. The expansion is set to launch on August 19 and will introduce a plethora of new content, including a fresh map, new human and yokai enemies, and exciting weapons and abilities to master.

Players will team up with iconic characters such as Yagyu Jubei, a one-eyed swordsman, and Rodrigo, a Spanish envoy, to unravel the mysteries surrounding the Spirit Stones. The new Keian Era map will challenge players with its unique landscape and formidable foes, but they will also have access to innovative weapons like the hoko and shield, which can be used in both Samurai and Ninja styles.
