Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition has arrived on PS5 on 1st October, 2026, and it feels like a proper reason to pick up Atsu’s blade again. It bundles Sucker Punch’s samurai adventure with a new story expansion, a solo survival mode and free online co-op. If you missed the base game, this is the version to start with. If you’ve already finished it, there’s enough here to tempt you back.
Echoes of Sekigahara: Atsu’s Past Catches Up With Her
The headline addition sends Atsu into a previously unseen valley once ruled by the Snake and his Vipers. There she meets Nagato, a figure from her earlier life, and it quickly becomes clear that the two share a history that matters. That gives the expansion real weight, with flashbacks to the Battle of Sekigahara filling in who Atsu was before the main story began.
The new stretch of Ezo also brings fresh enemies, bounties, dye merchants and gear. The real stars, though, are the Massive Weapons. Axes and hammers can be pulled from brutes or found lying around, and they hit absurdly hard. The catch is that they break after a few swings, so you never get to coast. Swinging one feels great, and it’s a smart way to add more punch to an arsenal that was already rich to begin with.
Little Tweaks That Keep You on Your Toes
The new combat wrinkles keep fights from settling into a comfortable rhythm. There’s a deadeye-style skill for picking off enemies, and bolas that can be thrown at you just as easily as by you. Then there are the enemies whose arrows stick and freeze your Spirit slots, forcing you to yank them out mid-fight before you can heal or use your abilities. It’s a small mechanic, but it keeps you on your toes.
Legends and Most Wanted
Legends, the online co-op mode, is free for every owner of the base game. If you played the Ghost of Tsushima version, the setup will feel familiar. This time there are more modes to work through, and you build up your ghost across different classes, unlocking weapons, abilities and armour with the points you earn along the way.
Most Wanted is the solo survival mode, and it comes with the paid expansion. It’s strictly single-player, so if you want to take on challenges with friends, Legends is where you’ll be spending your time.
What You Get
The Complete Edition packs in the base game, Echoes of Sekigahara, Most Wanted and the Digital Deluxe items, including armour, a horse and saddle and a sword kit. Existing owners won’t need to buy the game again, since the new content arrives through patch v2.0 with an upgrade option.
Worth Returning For
If the base game won you over, the new story, the heavy weapons and the extra modes add up to a package that’s easy to justify. Newcomers get the full campaign and plenty of extras in a single purchase. Either way, it’s a good excuse to head back to Ezo and see where Atsu’s past leads.
