The $39.99 Nioh 3 Season Pass includes Hell Rising, Bloody Insurrection, and the Chijiko Netsuke Charm; DLC 2 is scheduled by the end of February 2027.
The Nioh 3 Season Pass costs $39.99 on the US Steam store and includes two major expansions: Hell Rising and Bloody Insurrection. It also includes the Chijiko Netsuke Charm bonus in Samurai and Ninja versions. Hell Rising is available now; Bloody Insurrection is scheduled by the end of February 2027.
DLC roadmap
| Content | Official timing | Current status |
|---|---|---|
| Season Pass bonus | Same date as the base game | Chijiko Netsuke Charm |
| DLC 1: Hell Rising | August 18, 2026 | Released |
| DLC 2: Bloody Insurrection | By the end of February 2027 | Announced, not yet released at this check |
The Season Pass listing says both major DLC add new stories, enemies, yokai, bosses, and equipment. Hell Rising has its own released product page and detailed feature list. Bloody Insurrection does not yet have enough published detail here to support a weapon list, boss guide, or exact story summary.
Package overlap
| Product | Includes the Season Pass content? |
|---|---|
| Nioh 3 base game | No |
| Standalone Season Pass | Yes |
| Nioh 3 Digital Deluxe Edition | Yes |
| Hell Rising bought separately | DLC 1 only |
Check the owned DLC list on the same platform account before buying. Steam explicitly warns that the Digital Deluxe Edition already contains the Season Pass. The two DLC are also planned for separate sale, excluding the Season Pass bonus, so a player who wants only one expansion does not need to buy the whole pass.
Is the Season Pass worth it?
The official data can establish contents and price, not a quality verdict. Hell Rising is released and can be evaluated separately; Bloody Insurrection is still represented by a name, release deadline, and broad content promise. A complete value review must wait for both expansions or clearly state that it judges an incomplete package.
Read the Hell Rising content and access page for the first expansion's verified field, weapons, challenge system, and third playthrough.
