Best Nioh 3 character creation codes

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 show the denizens of 16th-century Japan a special Joker-style trick in Nioh 3, or swap fighting machines for yokai as 2B, there are some amazing creations floating around that will inject a healthy dose of whimsy into your save file. The Nioh 3 release date is just around the corner, so now's the perfect time to start getting inspired. Below, we've listed the best character creation codes the RPG has to offer, as well as how to import them.

The best Nioh 3 character creation codes are:

Joker (Joaquin Phoenix)

Creation code: N3P-pHEG?BjeAh[EM

There have been some amazing Jokers over the years: Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Jared Le- nevermind. Anyway, there's a newer iteration on the block, and Redditor 'Savo-Laine' has recreated Joaquin Phoenix's more musical take on Batman's most iconic villain. Terrifying stuff, truly.

2B (Nier Automata)

Creation code: N3S-n]3ioVuj4UBzP

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.

Tobirama Senju (Naruto)

Creation code: N3P-F6L4qxLmZ=grP

Here's one for the weebs. Naruto's second Hokage doesn't just look cool, he was also a bit of a beast in his heyday. That Shadow Clone Jutsu, the series' eponymous protagonist spams on cooldown? Yeah, he created that. Thanks to the handiwork of 'salkhemist' over on X, you too can embody one of the Hidden Leaf's most powerful shinobi.

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.
