What are the best Nioh 3 character creation codes? Character creators can be seen as a game in themselves. We pour hours and hours into tweaking even the tiniest features; the corners of mouths, the correct shade of lilac for the eyeshadow. In Nioh 3, Team Ninja has offered up a fabulous toolset capable of fulfilling our wildest machinations.
Whether you want to trade New Vegas for Japan as The Ghoul in Nioh 3, or swap fighting pirates for yokai as Roronoa Zoro, there are some amazing creations floating around that will inject a healthy dose of whimsy into your save file. Below, we've listed the best character creation codes the RPG has to offer, as well as how to import them. It should be noted that these codes will only work on Steam, but some of the creators have slider videos so you can remake them on PS5.
Nioh 3 character creation codes

- Ciri (The Witcher): N3S-5NTWYF&CEQ9sV
- 2B (Nier Automata): N3S-n]3ioVuj4UBzP
- Melinoë and Nemesis (Hades 2): N3S-W]KtqCdxuYMPJ

- Ada Wong (Resident Evil): N3S-d8ma]azreF?Xs
Ciri (The Witcher)
If you've played The Witcher (if not, why not?!) then you'll know Ciri would probably take offense to being given the princess treatment. The time-travelling, Witcher-lite warrior has been wonderfully realized in Nioh 3 by 'Ding,' who really has gone to town on all the small details.
2B (Nier Automata)
The three inevitabilities of life are: you pay taxes, you die, and someone makes Nier Automata's 2B in every new character creator. This stunning take on the iconic android from 'Senhoshi' is a must if you're a Yoko Taro enjoyer; let's face it, we all are. We're sure an A2 code will eventually appear, so you'll be able to take full advantage of Nioh 3's separate looks for each style to fully showcase Automata's leading ladies.
Melinoë and Nemesis (Hades 2)
How does two of the Underworld's finest for the price of one sound? Well, not only has 'EvanP3rks' done a fantastic job of creating Melinoë, but this code also lets you commandeer Nemesis while in Samurai style.
Roronoa Zoro (One Piece)
"Forget the 'Big 3,' it's just big me" - One Piece, probably. Next on our list is pirate hunter extraordinaire Roronoa Zoro. 'Same_Acanthisitta_38' is taking us on a trip through time here, with Zoro's pre and post-time skip looks included.
The Ghoul (Fallout)
If you're as obsessed with the Fallout TV series as we are, then we have good news. 'impyolo' has brought The Ghoul to our screens in a whole new way, and Cooper Howard has never looked better.
Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy)
Here we have some prime Nioh 3 character creation materia. Cloud Strife is one of gaming's most iconic faces, and you'll be mako'ing a fool of yourself if you don't lock him in for your playthrough, made possible thanks to 'Kaymat-.'
Ada Wong (Resident Evil)
Creation code: N3S-d8ma]azreF?Xs
Ada Wong fell so far in Resident Evil 2 that she ended up ripping a hole in space-time, landing in 16th-century Japan. At least, that's what our headcanon is. 'Senhoshi' has absolutely nailed everyone's favorite spy, so props to them for that.
Codeless characters
While there are plenty of character creation codes flying around, there are some great reproductions out there that unfortunately don't supply them. Nonetheless, we want to showcase them here, and, if you do a little bit of legwork, you can simply follow along and input the settings manually.
Lord Farquaad (Shrek)
Lord Farquaad! He'll huff, and he'll puff, and he'll sign an eviction notice. That's right, 'GhostySaige' has had the enlightened idea to remake the original short king in Nioh 3. Well, we think it's him; those eyebrows and blue steel smoulder are definitely giving Prince Charming. It's a bit of a chimera, but nonetheless, we think he looks fabulous.
Eve (Stellar Blade)
'Senhoshi' is back at it again, this time trading one android that knows how to slay for another. Stellar Blade's Eve could be the perfect style alternative to 2B while we're waiting for A2 to appear, and it makes sense considering how much Shift Up's RPG was inspired by Nier; a kick-ass homage.
Jin Kazama (Tekken)
How does two character forms for the price of one? Well, 'Senhoshi' went to town on recreating Tekken's coolest Devil Gene-haver, Jin Kazama, incorporating options for both his standard and devil forms.
Lightning (Final Fantasy 13)
Claire Farron is an icon. Not only is the FF13 series' leading lady a veritable bad ass, but she's also the face of a whole Louis Vuitton campaign. Slaying both in and out of game, get these sliders, courtesy of 'Sakura,' locked in to recreate Bhunivelze's chosen one.
