Ghost of Yotei narrative expansion, new combat survival mode launch October 1 alongside Complete Edition
New expansion split between the present day and flashbacks to Atsu's time on the mainland.
Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Sucker Punch Productions have announcedGhost of Yotei narrative expansion “Echoes of Sekigahara,” combat survival mode “Most Wanted,” and new quality of life updates, all due out on November 1 alongside Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition. A physical edition will also be available.
Here are the details:
Echoes of Sekigahara
“Echoes of Sekigahara” is our new narrative expansion. Split between the present day and flashbacks to Atsu’s time on the mainland, you’ll meet Nagato, a figure from Atsu’s past who has arrived in Ezo. In the present, you’ll explore a previously unseen valley once inhabited by The Snake and his gang of loyal followers, the Vipers. In the past, you’ll experience Atsu’s time in the Battle of Sekigahara and a key moment in her life before she returned home for her quest for vengeance. You’ll meet new enemies and find new heavy weapons, new armor sets, new dyes, and more.
Most Wanted
“Most Wanted” is a brand new single-player combat survival mode, our spin on a roguelike. You’ll accept bounties in order to start new runs, where taking down enemies will earn you perks, as well as unlock additional characters to play as. We’ll have much more to show soon, but as you can see in the trailer today, Atsu is a master with the dual katana, while Oyuki excels with the kusarigama, and Nagato shines with a yari. We love to watch the amazing combat reels that have been shared with us on social media, and can’t wait to see you all try to perfect these runs.
Purchase Options
If you haven’t experienced Atsu’s journey yet, you can purchase Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition for $69.99 USD. In addition to “Echoes of Sekigahara” and “Most Wanted,” this includes the award-winning main Ghost of Yotei game as well as Ghost of Yotei Legends, our online cooperative experience with support for up to four players and multiple gameplay modes culminating in a Raid. If you purchase the Complete Edition, you can immediately start playing the main game and Ghost of Yotei Legends, and “Echoes of Sekigahara” and “Most Wanted” will arrive with a patch on October 1.
Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition also includes all of the in-game content previously included in the Ghost of Yotei Digital Deluxe Edition, as well as the Charm of Hokkyokusei. If you purchase by September 30, you’ll also get an early unlock of the Sakai Armor on October 1 for Atsu to wear, a throwback to Jin’s family armor from Ghost of Tsushima.1
If you already own Ghost of Yotei, you can get “Echoes of Sekigahara” and “Most Wanted” by purchasing the Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition Upgrade for $14.99 USD. If you don’t already own the Digital Deluxe Edition and Charm of Hokkyokusei you’ll immediately unlock that content upon pre-ordering. And if you pre-order by September 30, on October 1 you’ll also get the early unlock of the Sakai Armor.
Beyond the new content listed above, Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition includes new tracks for Watanabe Mode that will be available throughout the entire game when the mode is enabled. There’s also new Photo Mode stamps, additional cosmetics for New Game+, and new Trophies for both “Echoes of Sekigahara” and “Most Wanted.”
For anyone who owns Ghost of Yotei, even without purchasing the Complete Edition upgrade, a new patch on October 1 will add the new Beauty of Yotei mode, which allows for a screensaver-like view of the environments of Ezo to keep on and relax at home (and take stunning new Photo Mode captures). There will also be new quality of life features including the option to keep an armor set’s appearance while using a different set’s stats, as well as a new high contrast accessibility option.
