Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition narrative expansion ‘Echoes of Sekigahara’ and survival mode ‘Most Wanted’ trailers

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Sucker Punch Productions have released a new set of trailers for Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition introducing the narrative expansion “Echoes of Sekigahara” and survival mode “Most Wanted,” the latter of which sees the return of Ghost of Tsushima protagonist Jin Sakai.

Here are the latest details, via PlayStation Blog:

Just revealed in State of Play, Jin Sakai will be one of our playable characters in Ghost of Yotei: Most Wanted! We are so excited to have the hero of Ghost of Tsushima back for this new mode, complete with all four of his signature stances.

In case you missed our announcement last month, Ghost of Yotei: Most Wanted is a brand new single-player combat survival mode that’s included in Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition.

Most Wanted is our spin on a roguelike. You’ll choose from four playable characters and accept bounties with escalating difficulty. As you complete runs, you’ll earn perks and upgrades to build out your character, becoming more powerful as you go.

It was important to us to make Most Wanted feel like an extension of Ghost of Yotei‘s core combat systems. We want playing through runs to take the familiar weapons and systems you’re used to and turn them into a fresh experience that lets you experiment with characters and builds to find the loadout that works best for you.

So how does it work? To start a run, you’ll select a bounty from the bounty board. Each one features a different member of the Yōtei Six, but to get to them you’ll have to take on waves of enemies and minibosses. As you finish each wave, you’ll unlock perks that help you create a powerful build to eventually take on the final boss of the bounty you’ve selected. Bounties can be replayed at increasing difficulty levels, all culminating in the hardest bounty against Lord Saito himself.

You’ll also earn Mon as you play, which you can spend outside of runs to unlock new techniques, weapon upgrades, charms, and character unlocks. Plus, any cosmetics you earn through playing Most Wanted will also be unlocked in the main game, so you can wear them during Atsu’s original quest for vengeance, or as you take on the new story expansion in Ghost of Yotei: Echoes of Sekigahara.

Once you’ve unlocked all four characters, you can select between them. Each character will start with a katana, as well as their own additional unique weapons, abilities, Ultimates, and Kill Streaks. We encourage you to try them all as each one brings their own different approach to taking down the enemies standing in your way.

Your default starting character will be Atsu, who uses dual katana as well as two Ghost Tools: Metsubushi (Blinding Powder) and a Blind Bomb. Atsu’s Ultimate is “Call of the Pack,” which allows her to summon two wolves to take down nearby enemies, and her Kill Streak is Onryō’s Howl, which will terrify all nearby enemies and force one to flee.

You’ll also be able to play as Oyuki, who fights with the kusarigama, kunai, and the tanegashima (rifle). Oyuki’s Ultimate is “Shadow Killer,” which unleashes smoke to allow her to quickly assassinate two nearby enemies. Her Kill Streak is Shadow Shinobi, which summons a Nine Tails ally to fight alongside her (and execute their own assassinations) for a limited time.

The next playable character is Nagato, who uses the yari (spear), tanzutsu (pistol), yumi (long bow), and hankyu (short bow). His Ultimate is “Gambler’s Mark,” which targets two enemies and fires a guaranteed headshot, and his Kill Streak is Blast Arrow, which refills his Concentration and grants an explosive arrow.

Finally, Jin Sakai is our fourth playable character. For Jin, our animation and character art teams worked hard to take his Ghost of Tsushima model and keep it faithful while also applying upgrades for Ghost of Yotei. Jin can use his katana with all four of the original stances from Ghost of Tsushima, helping to exploit enemy weaknesses. He also starts with a Sticky Bomb and hankyu. Jin’s Ultimate is the “Dance of Wrath” skill from Ghost of Tsushima, which targets multiple enemies and disarms them, and his Kill Streak is, of course, Ghost Stance, which allows him to terrify the enemies around him and kill a limited amount of them in a single hit.

Beyond selecting the character you want to play as, the real way to create your unique build in Ghost of Yotei: Most Wanted is by selecting perks. As you progress through a run, you’ll frequently select between new perks including weapon mastery, gear loadouts, summons, parries, survivability, and more. These are the cornerstone of crafting the perfect build and lead to some of the most exciting surprises as you find the challenge or unexpected value that comes from mixing and matching perks.

If you already own Ghost of Yotei, you can pre-order the Complete Edition Upgrade for $14.99, which will grant you access to Ghost of Yotei: Most Wanted and Ghost of Yotei: Echoes of Sekigahara on October 1, and instant access to all of the in-game content previously included in the Ghost of Yotei Digital Deluxe Edition, as well as the Charm of Hokkyokusei.1 If you pre-order by September 30, you’ll also receive an early unlock of the Sakai Armor for Atsu to wear on October 1 without having to unlock it by playing Most Wanted first.1

In case you missed our announcement last month, we’ll also have some updates coming in a free patch for Ghost of Yotei on October 1, even if you don’t purchase the Complete Edition upgrade.1 All Ghost of Yotei owners will unlock the free Beauty of Yōtei mode, which allows you to browse the beautiful environments of Ezo and explore them in Photo Mode.
