It adds Echoes of Sekigahara, a new narrative expansion; Most Wanted, a new single-player combat survival mode; and a free patch with quality-of-life features for every owner. Here’s everything confirmed on the PlayStation Blog, including pricing and the $14.99 upgrade for existing players.
Key Takeaways
- Release date: October 1, 2026 (October 2 in some regions, including Asia, Australia and New Zealand), on PS5.
- Price: $69.99 for the Complete Edition, or $14.99 to upgrade if you already own Ghost of Yōtei.
- Echoes of Sekigahara: A story split between the present day and flashbacks to Atsu’s time at the Battle of Sekigahara, introducing a figure from her past named Nagato.
- Most Wanted: A new single-player mode with a roguelike twist, built around bounties.
- Free for all owners (patch v2.0): The Beauty of Yōtei screensaver mode, new Watanabe Mode tracks, the option to keep one armor’s appearance while using another’s stats, and a high-contrast accessibility option.
- Bonus: Buy digitally by September 30 to get an early unlock of the Sakai Armor, a nod to Jin’s family armor from Ghost of Tsushima, on October 1.
A Quick Refresher: Atsu’s Quest in 1603 Ezo
Ghost of Yōtei launched in October 2025 as the follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima. It’s set more than three centuries later, in 1603, in Ezo, the untamed northern land that is now Hokkaido. You play as Atsu, a lone mercenary hunting the Yōtei Six, the outlaw gang that killed her family and left her for dead in the shadow of Mount Yōtei.
Echoes of Sekigahara: What the Expansion Adds
According to Sucker Punch, Echoes of Sekigahara is split between the present day and flashbacks to Atsu’s time on the mainland. The main new character is Nagato, a figure from Atsu’s past who has arrived in Ezo.
- In the present, you explore a previously unseen valley once home to The Snake and his gang of loyal followers, the Vipers.
- In the past, you play through Atsu’s time at the Battle of Sekigahara, fought in 1600, and a key moment in her life before she returned home to seek vengeance.
- New content includes new enemies, new heavy weapons, new armor sets and new dyes.
Most Wanted: A Roguelike Survival Mode
Most Wanted is a brand-new single-player combat survival mode. Based on Sucker Punch’s description and early coverage, you accept bounties to start runs. Taking down enemies earns perks that power you up during a run, and progress unlocks additional characters to play as. It comes with its own Trophies.
Atsu’s Arsenal
Unlike Jin’s single katana with stances in Ghost of Tsushima, Atsu switches between different melee weapons. Each weapon has an advantage against certain enemy types, so choosing the right one for each fight matters:
- Katana: The balanced, all-round option.
- Dual katana: Fast, aggressive strikes.
- Yari (spear): Long reach for keeping enemies at a distance.
- Ōdachi: A huge greatsword for heavy, guard-breaking hits.
- Kusarigama: A chain-and-sickle weapon for hitting enemies at mid range.
Echoes of Sekigahara adds new heavy weapons on top of these.
PS5 Pro Enhancements
Ghost of Yōtei was already a strong PS5 Pro showcase before the Complete Edition. Sucker Punch added a ray-traced global illumination mode that targets 60fps on PS5 Pro, with PSSR upscaling for sharper detail (GamingBolt). A December 2025 patch then improved PS5 Pro frame rates further (Push Square). Sucker Punch hasn’t announced any new PS5 Pro-specific features for the Complete Edition.
