How to unlock the Sonia Belmont skin

Quick answer

Enter the Konami Code: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, then A, B on Xbox, Cross, Circle on PlayStation or B, A on Switch. It works from the main menu as soon as the game boots, and a "New Character Skin Unlocked!" notice confirms it; then open the menu, go to System, choose Character Skin and select Sonia Style Costume.

Before you start

  • The full game. One guide says the code does nothing in the demo.
  • Kingy has not played the released game; the steps come from three written guides and the gameplay videos below.

Enter the Konami Code

All three guides give the same inputs. They agree the code works on the main menu; two say it also works during play.

  1. On the main menu, press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right on the d-pad.
  2. Finish with A then B on Xbox, Cross then Circle on PlayStation, or B then A on Switch.
  3. Watch for the "New Character Skin Unlocked!" notice. If it doesn't appear, enter the whole code again without a mistake.

Wear the costume

Two guides put the option under System > Character Skin; a third calls it Skins in the pause menu. The menu in the clip below is titled Character Skin.

  1. Open the menu, go to System and choose Character Skin at the bottom of the list.
