On October 2, 2026, PlayStation\u2019s excellent samurai sequel Ghost of Yotei will celebrate its one-year anniversary. The day before on October 1, however, the game will receive some brand new story content, as well as a single player combat survival mode by way of an all-encompassing $69.99 Complete Edition. Or, a $14.99 upgrade pack for existing Ghost of Yotei owners.<\/p>\n
The story expansion, entitled Echoes of Sekigahara, has murderous protagonist Atsu time-traveling between catalyst memories and mysterious geography in the current day. Here\u2019s how PlayStation Blog<\/a> describes the added narrative content:<\/p>\n Ghost of Yotei<\/p>\n Credit: PlayStation<\/p>\n \u201cSplit between the present day and flashbacks to Atsu\u2019s time on the mainland, you\u2019ll meet Nagato, a figure from Atsu\u2019s past who has arrived in Ezo. In the present, you\u2019ll explore a previously unseen valley once inhabited by The Snake and his gang of loyal followers, the Vipers. In the past, you\u2019ll experience Atsu\u2019s time in the Battle of Sekigahara and a key moment in her life before she returned home for her quest for vengeance. You\u2019ll meet new enemies and find new heavy weapons, new armor sets, new dyes, and more.\u201d<\/p>\n The new rougelike option, which joins the co-op Legends mode that released last March, is called Most Wanted and will presumably add some The Binding of Isaac or Hades flare to Ghost of Yotei. Again, here\u2019s the PlayStation Blog<\/a> explaining what\u2019s in-store:<\/p>\n Play Puzzles & Games on Forbes<\/p>\n Ghost of Yotei<\/p>\n Credit: PlayStation<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ll 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\u2019ll 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\u2019t wait to see you all try to perfect these runs.\u201d<\/p>\n If you pre-order the Complete Edition by September 30, you\u2019ll get some nifty Sakai Armor, as well as everything in the original Digital Deluxe version, and then everything else will unlock on October 1.<\/p>\n Ghost of Yotei<\/p>\n Credit: PlayStation<\/p>\n I played through Ghost of Yotei back in May of this year<\/a>, and while it didn\u2019t hit the same as Ghost of Tsushima, I had a really good time exploring Ezo, talking to foxes and running from bears. It\u2019s truly a beautiful game, artistic in a way few other games are, and I\u2019m looking forward to returning in October to see what this new story is all about. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll touch the rougelike mode, as it\u2019s not particularly my thing, but I might at least give it a quick go. I never did get around to playing Legends, though, so maybe it\u2019s time I finally try that out.<\/p>\n It will be interesting to see if players will return to Yotei this Fall. Despite Legends not receiving any more major updates<\/a>, the game has still sold incredibly well<\/a>, and remains one of PlayStation\u2019s better performing<\/a> first-party titles. If only Sony would bring this gorgeous title to PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ghost of Yotei Credit: PlayStation On October 2, 2026, PlayStation\u2019s excellent samurai sequel Ghost of Yotei will celebrate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":853159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[423573,64,63,423574,110581,9478,105,423572],"class_list":["post-853158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-atsu","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-ezo","tag-ghost-of-yotei","tag-playstation","tag-technology","tag-yotei"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=853158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/853159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=853158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=853158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=853158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
