Does Demo Data Transfer?

Demo Save Data Carries Over to the Full Game

Progression made in the demo can be carried over to the full game, as long as the save data is on the same device and account.

There is no confirmation yet regarding the contents of the upcoming demo, but the Alpha Demo allowed players to play and explore up to the first Crucible.

Twin-Snake Helmet Reward

Twin-Snake Helmet

Players can earn the Twin-Snake Helmet as a reward for clearing the demo while it's available. This headgear can be carried over and used in the full game.

This is identical to the reward given to players who cleared the Nioh 3 Alpha Demo previously on June 2025. Players who are already eligible for the Alpha Demo reward will not be able to obtain the reward a second time.
