Nioh 3, the latest installment of the popular franchise that blends action and RPG, continues to enhance the player experience by introducing innovations that simplify the leveling process. One of the most notable additions to this game, showcased in its recent demo, is the option to automatically use accumulated experience items from the leveling menu, a feature that could set a new standard in the Soulslike subgenre.
One click and you raise the levels you need
This feature allows players to use leveling spirits, known as spirit stones, with just the press of a button and without the need to exit the menu. When a player is about to level up, the game automatically uses the minimum amount of spirit stones needed to reach the next level, leaving the rest of the experience intact. This eliminates the tedious process of navigating through inventories to use consumables, making the path to character improvement much smoother and more efficient. Compared to other recent titles, such as Lies of P, which introduced colored numbers to indicate when enough experience is available, Nioh 3 joins the trend of enhancing player quality of life in this genre.
In addition, Nioh 3 will have a six-month exclusivity on PS5 before its possible release on Xbox, which represents a significant change in the distribution of the franchise. This is a move that could open the door to access for a broader audience, something crucial for the continued growth of the series in a competitive market.
With these innovations, Nioh 3 not only positions itself as a serious contender in the genre, but also sets a precedent that could change the way players interact with these types of games in the future. The gaming community remains eager for the full release of this promising installment.
The games developed by Team Ninja have been criticized for their poor performance on PC at initial launches, as evidenced by recent titles like Rise of the Ronin and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Despite promises of improvement, these games were released in a problematic state, with frame rate drops and bugs that ruined the experience for many players.

Games developed by Team Ninja have been criticized for their poor performance on PC at initial launches, as evidenced by recent titles like Rise of the Ronin and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Despite promises of improvement, these games were released in a problematic state, with frame rate drops and bugs that ruined the experience for many players.
A game with more than acceptable performance
However, a ray of hope has appeared in the form of the Nioh 3 demo, which has shown significant performance improvements compared to its predecessors. This demonstration is considered a remarkable advance, offering players a first look at the game before its full release. The system requirements have been provided, highlighting that the game is playable on moderate hardware configurations.
To run the Nioh 3 demo, the minimum requirements include an Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor, along with 16 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics card, while the recommended specifications suggest an Intel Core i5-10600K or an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti for 1080p and 60 fps.
Players who have tried the demo indicate that by enabling the FSR 3 option, they can maintain a smooth performance of at least 60 fps, allowing for adjustments in graphical quality to higher levels without compromising gameplay. However, it was also reported that some users experienced slight drops in the frame rate when transitioning to the game’s open world.
Despite the improvements, an attempt to play Nioh 3 on the Steam Deck resulted in a poor experience, suggesting that this platform may not be suitable for the title. With the release of the demo, Team Ninja seems to be on the right track to redeem itself in front of its player community, who are hoping for a more stable release in the future.

Today, an event will take place that promises to be a feast for video game enthusiasts, especially those who own a PlayStation 4 or 5. Sony has scheduled a new edition of its State of Play, which will start at 11:00 PM in Spain and at 4:00 PM in Mexico City. The broadcast will last approximately 40 minutes, ensuring enough time to showcase a series of announcements and previews of anticipated titles.
An event with a very clear focus
This time, the focus of the event will be significant, as all the games presented have been developed in Japan and Asia. This not only suggests a strong emphasis on the video game culture of those regions but also raises expectations for possible releases. Titles like Phantom Blade Zero, Nioh 3, and Code Vein 2 are some of the most promising candidates that could make their appearance during the broadcast.
Additionally, it is anticipated that the most beloved franchises by players will be present, along with a selection of indie games that have been characterized by their innovative proposals. This could offer an interesting mix, encompassing both the familiar and the novel in narrative and gameplay.
As the master of ceremonies, we will have the participation of Yuki Kaji, a renowned voice actor who has made his mark in the industry, being the voice of iconic characters such as Eren Yeager in Shingeki no Kyojin and Hope in Final Fantasy XIII. His presence will add a special touch to the event, which promises to be both informative and entertaining.
This State of Play offers an unmissable opportunity for fans of Sony consoles, providing a glimpse into what the future of video games may hold. As the event approaches, rumors about other possible announcements may increase in the gamer community.

The excitement in the air is rising as the Tokyo Game Show 2025, one of the most relevant video game fairs of the year, approaches, taking place from September 25 to 28 at the Makuhari Messe center in Chiba, Japan. This event, traditionally a key meeting point in the industry, promises to be a showcase of new titles and significant announcements.
The Oscars of Video Games
More than a thousand exhibitors will participate, including well-known companies like Capcom, Xbox, and Level-5, which will offer presentations, trailers, and opportunities to try out games. Attendees will have the chance to experience the latest news firsthand at the booths, while those who cannot attend will be able to follow most of the presentations live through platforms like YouTube and Twitch.
The daily schedule of the event will include conferences and talks on various topics related to the industry, with timings adapted to audiences in Japan, Spain, and Mexico City. Some highlights include the special Capcom program and a presentation dedicated to Nioh 3, as well as an opening ceremony that will kick off these four days of intense activity.
In addition, one of the highlights of the event will be the Japan Game Awards 2025 ceremony, where the best games of the fair will be awarded, emphasizing the importance of the event as a barometer of trends in the industry. Attendees and viewers can expect a series of surprises that will undoubtedly be the talk of the town in the coming days.
Last night one of the most anticipated events of the Summer Game Fest took place. We all expected to see what Sony would offer in its State of Play. Although they have some interesting games on the horizon, 2025 has not been a good year for the Japanese company. And it doesn’t seem like it will be great in the future. At least from what we could see last Wednesday, June 4, around 11 PM. It must be admitted that, although there was something for everyone’s taste, it was a very Japanese State of Play.

Last night, one of the most anticipated events of the Summer Game Fest took place. We all expected to see what Sony would offer in its State of Play. Although they have some interesting games on the horizon, 2025 has not been a good year for the Japanese company. And it doesn’t seem like it will be great in the future. At least from what we could see last Wednesday, June 4, around 11 PM.
It must be admitted that, although there was something for everyone, it was a very Japanese State of Play. Very focused on third parties and for those whose tastes are more based on arcade-style games, or with a more video game approach, and less on narrative or cinematic video games. This may disappoint some people who expect a different approach from Sony after God of War, Uncharted, and The Last of Us, but the truth is that it was an exceptional State of Play in terms of pace and content. And for that reason, we have selected the best announcements so you don’t miss anything.
Lumines Arise
There are only three games that have been able to be as iconic and brilliant as Tetris in the world of puzzles: Puyo Puyo, Meteos, and Lumines. The latter will receive a new installment, as we have learned thanks to Sony, named Lumines Arise. Its premise is to be the same idea as always —grouping four or more symbols in a square or equivalent shape using pieces made up of combinations of one or two symbols— but now with more particles and even more spectacular graphics.
Clearly drinking from the tremendous success of Tetris Effect, it seems that the game is heavily inspired by Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s previous game. But let’s not kid ourselves either. Tetris Effect already drew a lot from Lumines. So we can expect to see what the result will be when it releases this upcoming autumn of 2025 for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR.
Pragmata
Initially announced at E3 2020 for 2022, Pragmata has had a tumultuous development. So much so that we haven’t heard anything about it for 2 years and many people suspected it had been canceled. Nothing could be further from the truth, as the game has shown signs of life. And it is spectacular.
Highlighting some absolutely stunning graphics, where the quality of the design of the main girl stands out especially, the game seems pure Capcom. Resident Evil, but with more action and in a science fiction setting. Something we really can’t say no to. But to play it, we will still have to wait. Because Pragmata will be released in 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Romeo is a Dead Man
Goichi Suda, better known as Suda51, is one of the great authors of video games. Punk, unrestrained, with no intention of pleasing anyone, he always does what he wants, how he wants, and he doesn’t care if you like what he does. That’s why, if you like it, you’ll love it. And that is the case with Romeo is a Dead Man, a madness about a man trapped between life and death due to a time paradox that shattered the space-time continuum and now he must jump between dimensions to hunt down dangerous fugitives.
It promises to be violent. It promises to be hilarious. And it promises to be vulgar. But it is also deep, human, and a game like no other you have ever played. Because that’s what Goichi Suda’s games are about. However, to play it, we will have to wait until 2026, when we can enjoy it on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Silent Hill f
If there is a horror game that is highly anticipated this year, it is Silent Hill f. Written by one of the most celebrated authors of Japanese horror, putting his own spin on one of the most beloved franchises in the industry, it is impossible for this to go wrong. Especially now that we have finally seen gameplay. And it did not disappoint.
Dark, violent, and very psychological, it seems we will have to go through real hardships to progress in the game. Exactly what we want in a Silent Hill. Additionally, we have been given something even more important. Its release date. The game will be released on September 25 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. And keep a close eye. Because if there is a game in this article that is a contender for game of the year, it is this one.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles
In Europe, we never got to play one of the most celebrated games from the US and Japan within the Final Fantasy franchise. Moreover, it is not a game from the main franchise. Because Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the brightest games that has come from Square Enix and, even today, it still has one of the most impressive stories and one of the most satisfying battles in Tactic RPG.
This remastered version also has two good things. It will include an improved version, with full voice acting and updated graphics, but also the original version for those who want to enjoy what was playable on PlayStation. This time, with the acclaimed translation that the PSP version had. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles will be released on September 30 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S.
Nioh 3
Team Ninja is in a very sweet spot, with many projects on the horizon. And now they have decided to add one that many fans were waiting for: a new installment of their most beloved franchise. Nioh 3 will take us to feudal Japan to face a tremendously challenging souls-like game where, as it seems in the trailer, we will have to choose between protagonists. One is a samurai, similar to the gameplay style of previous installments, and the other is a shinobi, with a style more akin to that of Tenchu.
With the demo now available, it is possible to try the game to see how well it works. And if it will live up to its previous games in the franchise. Even if we will still have to wait until 2026 to enjoy it, we will be able to play it on both PC and PlayStation 5.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls
But the big announcement has come from Marvel. Although not only from Marvel. Arc System Works in collaboration with PlayStation Studios has announced Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. This is a 4 vs 4 tag team fighting game, where we choose four characters and alternate between them to fight. Closely following the style of previous games from the company, such as Guilty Gears or Dragon Ball FighterZ, it has a spectacular graphic style and a frantic pace that promises to captivate fighting game fans.
We have seen some of the playable characters, such as Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Star-Lord, Ms. Marvel, Storm, and Dr. Doom. However, like most games, we will still have to wait. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will be released on PC and PlayStation 5 in 2026. But given the promising look of all these games, it seems that PlayStation has plans, and the wait is well worth it.
