Manga Productions to Publish Nioh 3 in MENA with Arabic Localization

   Riyadh, June 17, 2025, SPA -- Manga Productions, a subsidiary of Mohammed bin Salman Foundation (Misk), has announced in a press release its partnership with KOEI TECMO GAMES as the official publisher of the highly anticipated action title Nioh 3 in the Middle East and North Africa region. The game is scheduled for a worldwide simultaneous launch in early 2026 on PlayStation® 5 and Steam.
   According to the release, Nioh 3 marks the latest chapter in the acclaimed dark samurai action RPG series, celebrated for its unique blend of Japanese mythology and intense combat. With over eight million units sold worldwide, the Nioh series has established itself as a global favorite. This new installment adopts an open field environment and a new battle system that allows players to switch between the two fighting styles "Samurai" and "Ninja" in real time during combat.
   As part of the collaboration, Manga Productions will lead the Arabic localization, marketing, and regional publishing efforts. In line with the company's mission to empower local talent, Manga Productions will involve Saudi creatives in the localization process, ensuring a culturally resonant and high-quality experience for Arabic-speaking players.
   Manga Productions CEO Dr. Essam Bukhary said the launch of Nioh 3 with Arabic support for gamers in the region is another step toward delivering world-class experiences while empowering Saudi talent throughout every stage of development. "The trust we've earned from our global partners reflects Manga Productions' strong capabilities in publishing, distribution, and marketing, as well as our continued success in delivering high-quality, culturally relevant content to audiences across the region," he stated.
   Manga Productions and KOEI TECMO GAMES remain committed to delivering high-quality entertainment that reflects the growing passion and potential of the gaming community across the Middle East.
   KOEI TECMO GAMES President and COO Hisashi Koinuma added: "After the positive reception of DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS, we're excited to deepen our partnership with Manga Productions to bring Nioh 3 to Arabic-speaking audiences, fully localized and tailored to their expectations."
   Manga Productions Business Development and Content Licensing Director Eng. Abdulaziz Alnaghmoosh also stated: "Following our collaboration on DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS, which was praised for delivering an Arabic experience that felt original rather than translated, Nioh 3 is our next step in raising that standard. We're committed to offering players a seamless, fully localized journey that feels like it was made for them from day one of the worldwide simultaneous launch".
