Nioh 3 countdown: Exact release date and time

Nioh 3 could be your next big adventure in 2026 as the upcoming title goes live very soon on PC and console.

The third instalment in the saga, developed by Koei Tecmo, is available for pre-order as of writing. This guide will help you keep track of the upcoming launch so that you can jump right in when it goes live.

Nioh 3 countdown

Nioh 3 goes live worldwide on Feb. 5 (Feb. 6 in some regions). If you’re on console, the release date is on Feb. 6 since it will follow the regional launch schedule. The following countdown will expire once the game goes live.

The countdown is based on the following timings.

• 5pm PT (Feb. 5)
• 7pm CT (Feb. 5)
• 8pm ET (Feb. 5)
• 1am UTC (Feb. 6)
• 2am UTC (Feb. 6)

This countdown is only applicable if you’re planning to play Nioh 3 on PC. If you’re on console, you’ll need to wait for midnight in your region. This also means that the New Zealand method could get you a few extra hours of gameplay.

You can currently pre-order and pick between the Standard and the Digital Deluxe Edition. There’s no advanced or early access, but the Digital Deluxe Edition offers the season pass that will include all post-launch DLC content. You also get a few extra purely cosmetic goodies. The main pull of the Digital Deluxe Edition is definitely the post-launch content (via the Season Pass).

If you’re interested in checking out the game, a free demo is currently available. All your progress from the demo will carry over to the full launch, which is great. If you’ve already purchased Nioh 3, the demo will serve as your indirect advanced access.

Upcoming sci-fi title Menace could be a fun game to try out, especially if you love turn-based tactical battles.

Developed by Overhype Studios, Menace is made by the same folks who gave us Battle Brothers. This guide will help you keep track of the upcoming launch if you’re interested in trying the game out.

Menace release countdown

Menace will go live worldwide on Thursday, Feb. 5. It will be exclusively available on PC due to its (likely) early access state. The following countdown will expire once it goes live.

The countdown above is based on the following timings.

• 6am PT
• 8am ET
• 9am CT
• 2pm UTC
• 3pm CET

The timings mentioned here are based on the information available on SteamDB. Any change will be duly updated in this guide. As of writing, there’s no way to pre-order Menace, but you can wishlist it on Steam.

What to expect from Menace

Menace puts you in charge of a band of marines, mercenaries and criminals in a distant system cut off from the core Worlds. Your ‘army’ will have to faceoff against warlords, corrupted organizations, and governments to gain the upper hand.

The core gameplay will center around a turn-based tactical approach, which is pretty similar to Battle Brothers. However, the theme and change of environment will need you to adjust your tactics accordingly. While you won’t be fighting directly on the field, every decision depends on you. From choosing requests to sending dispatches to control what your army does on the field – everything depends on you.

It will be interesting to find out if Menace could turn out to be one of the best tactical turn-based titles in 2026. It has been sometime since we have had a big hit in this genre.
