Team Ninja released Nioh 3 on February 6, 2026. The game includes a complete trophy set for PlayStation 5 and the same achievement list across other platforms. There are 51 trophies in total on PS5: 1 Platinum, 2 Gold, 10 Silver, and 38 Bronze.Most trophies unlock through normal gameplay. The rest require exploration, side content, and collectibles. There are no online-only trophies, and none are considered missable. You can return to earlier missions to finish anything you skipped.

Nioh 3 Trophy Structure and Platinum Plan

The Nioh 3 trophy list focuses on story progress, open-world tasks, and completion goals. If you clear regions properly before moving forward, you will unlock many trophies without extra effort. • Estimated time for Platinum: 40-60 hours • Difficulty: about 5/10. The Ninja style and other gameplay changes make the game easier than the first two titles, but bosses still require good timing. • New Game+ (“Shogun’s Journey”) is not required. • Missions can be replayed through Battle Scrolls at shrines.
