Can You Transfer Character Creation Data Over to Nioh 3?

Nioh 3 has a remarkable character creator, but you might be wondering if you can transfer over character creation data from the demo or Nioh 2. In this article, we’re quickly answering those two questions and showing you the path forward.

Alternatively, if you think you’re bad at character creation when given too many options (don’t worry, it’s common), we highly recommend checking out some of the best Nioh 3 character creation codes and preset mods we’ve found so far.

Can you transfer characters from the Nioh 3 demo to the full game?

Yes, the Nioh 3 demo is fully compatible with the full game; it’s even received post-launch patches mainly developed for the complete experience.

As long as you’re on the same PS5 or Steam account, your Nioh 3 demo save data will transfer to the full game when you first boot it up, and that includes your character creation data.

Can Nioh 2 characters be transferred to Nioh 3?

No, Nioh 2 character creation data can’t be loaded up on Nioh 3 even if some of the underlying tech is the same.

This time around, Team Ninja has cooked a deeper character creator that’s running on a new iteration of the Katana Engine the developer (as well as other Koei Tecmo studios) has been using for all its recent games. For this new adventure, you’ll need to create a new character.

Theoretically, you could try to take screenshots of the sliders and the final result of your character in Nioh 2 to try to remake them in Nioh 3, but with different settings and more sliders, it probably won’t result in a close recreation of a previous toon. Sorry!
