Koei Tecmo and Team NINJA have confirmed that Nioh 3 DLC "Hell Rising" will be released on August 19. The announcement gives players a firm date for the add-on and marks the next step in post-launch support for the action RPG.

The new content is part of the Nioh 3 Season Pass, meaning players who already own that pass will receive "Hell Rising" as part of the package. The announcement also indicates that the Season Pass covers additional DLC beyond this release, pointing to more content still planned for the game.

For fans following Nioh 3 updates, the August 19 launch date is the key takeaway. While the brief announcement does not outline the full feature set of the expansion in the available snippet, the reveal is enough to place "Hell Rising" on the near-term release calendar.

With Koei Tecmo publishing and Team NINJA developing, the latest DLC update keeps attention on Nioh 3 as players look ahead to its next major content drop later this summer.
