Koei Tecmo has released its playable demo of Nioh 3 for PS5 users to download via the PlayStation Store, and as previously reported, your save data will transfer over to the full version of the game.
The Twin-Snake Helmet item will be gifted to players who are able to complete the demo by February 15, 2026, which is the same bonus offered for the Alpha Demo. Furthermore, you can still obtain this item by defeating the Jakotsu-baba in the full game by the same date. It should be noted that the demo “is only available for online use and cannot be played offline.”
“In order to carry over save data from this demo to the final release version of the game, you must play the final release version on the same console where the demo data is saved, and you must also use the same PlayStation™Network account when playing the demo and final release version,” the PlayStation Store description reads.
Nioh 3 sees players jumping into the role of Tokugawa Takechiyo, who is the grandchild of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and similar to the game’s predecessor you will be able to full customise your character’s appearance as the blurb above states. Beyond the main single-player campaign, Nioh 3 also features two online multiplayer modes in the form of Summon Visitor and Expedition; the former allows you to bring in another player to help out with bosses, while the latter has you exploring open fields together.
Nioh is pencilled in for release on February 6, 2025 for PS5 and PC.
