At Sony's State of Play showcase today, Koei Tecmo announced Nioh 3, its third Soulslike set in a feudal Japan suffering from as many hostile spirits as it is competing warlords. And in Nioh 3, we'll be playing as one of the biggest possible figures from the Warring States period: Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate that reigned in Japan for more than two centuries.
If you're only familiar with FromSoft soulslike fare, Nioh adds a fair amount of complexity through weapon stances, randomized Diablo-esque loot, and specialization skill trees. In Nioh 3, there'll be yet another layer in the mix, as Tokugawa will be able to shift between samurai and ninja combat styles.
