Team Ninja announced Nioh 3's first DLC will launch August 19, 2026, sending players back to Keian-era Edo.

The story centers on a rebellion threatening the shogunate and a secret plan involving the Spirit Stones. Takechiyo is forced back into the depths of the Crucible with hopes of defying it once more.

The official post emphasizes continuation of the series' dark combat-loop and historical supernatural setting, without breaking down mission count or pricing yet.
