How long is the Nioh 3 demo? Alpha length and when it becomes inaccessible
The Nioh 3 demo is currently available to download and play on PS5, and is said to be a pretty big chunk of the game - but it won't be around for long
The new demo for Nioh 3 is now live, and gamers are having a field day – but they'll need to be quick to get a good look at this early glimpse of the game.
Since its unveiling during this showcase season, Nioh 3 has been holding the interest of players eager for a truly challenging gaming experience. The latest installment in the lineage of intense Action RPG games, most recently headlined by the outstanding Nioh 2 from 2020, promises even more adventures across Japan, undoubtedly punctuated with fierce boss battles that will require hours to conquer.
Nioh 3 appears eager to give players a sample of its forthcoming gameplay, having already released a new demo on PS5 that allows fans to try out both its Samurai and Ninja combat styles. Some players claim it's longer than many full games – but it won't be available on PlayStation for long.
So, just how long is the Nioh 3 demo? Here's all you need to know about this tantalising taster of what the game has in store.
How long is the Nioh 3 demo?
New feedback from gamers suggests that the Nioh 3 demo, officially known as the Nioh 3 Alpha demo, will keep players occupied for around four to eight hours. Twitter user @ChrisZanar shared that it took him four hours to complete the demo and an additional two hours to explore everything, while a recent Reddit thread revealed that another player spent eight hours and 20 minutes to fully experience what the demo has to offer.
If these accounts are anything to go by, it's a substantial demo that's well worth the time investment. However, this doesn't mean fans can play it at their leisure.
How long is the Nioh 3 demo available?
You can download and play the Nioh 3 demo until Wednesday, June 18, according to the demo's PlayStation Store page. After this date, access to the demo will be cut off.
It's an odd restriction for a demo that seems to be receiving rave reviews, but if this is the price for an extended sneak peek at the new game, then we'll just have to accept it. The Nioh 3 demo is here for a good time, not a long time.
