Did you pre-order Nioh 3? You can’t be blamed, as Insider Gaming said in our Nioh 3 review: “Nioh 3 is an unbelievable game from start to finish and excels in all aspects of game development.”
Every word is meant. It’s one of 2026’s best games, and you can make it even more enjoyable with the exclusive Hellfire, Hellfrost, Youngblood, and Lone Wolf pre-order bonuses.
How To Get Nioh 3 Pre-Order Bonuses
You can claim your Nioh 3 Pre-Order Bonuses by making sure you have the content downloaded and installed on your device, and then redeeming them at the first Shrine after the game’s first boss, or any subsequent Shrine.
First things first, it’s very important that you’ve downloaded the pre-order bonuses first. When you buy and pre-order Nioh 3 from the PlayStation Store or PC, you get an option to download the main game, but there’s also information on the additional content packs.
These need to be installed, and you should check your system’s game add-ons to seeif this has been done.
Next, they need to be redeemed in-game, and here’s how to do this:
- Progress through the beginning of the game until you complete the Tokugawa Kunimatsu fight.
- Complete the Leave the area objective after choosing Strength or Ninja upgrade.
- Watch the following cutscene.
- Wait until you regain control of your character.
- When you do, move forward until you reach the Shrine.
- Pray at the Shrine.
- Press on Preparations.
- Select Boons.
- Claim all your Nioh 3 Pre-Order Bonuses!
