Today, during Sony’s latest State of Play showcase, Sucker Punch and Sony revealed more of the previously announced Ghost of Yotei expansion and roguelike mode coming to the game in October. And it was revealed that Jin Sakai from Ghost of Tsushima is returning as a playable character in the new mode.
Early into Thursday’s State of Play, Sony and Sucker Punch revealed a deeper look at the game’s upcoming roguelike mode, Most Wanted.
In this mode, which was first revealed back in August, players will take on the role of different characters from the Ghost of Yotei as they hunt down targets and collect upgrades in randomized runs.
Most Wanted is just one part of a new expansion, Echoes of Sekigahara, coming to the open-world game on October 1. The expansion also includes a whole new location to explore, filled with new story missions.
According to Sucker Punch, Echoes of Sekigahara is a new narrative adventure split between the past and the present of the main game’s timeline. Players will play as Atsu during the present and explore a new “unseen valley” where a deadly gang of warriors known as the Vipers is hiding out. Meanwhile, during flashbacks, players will experience Atsu’s time during the Battle of Sekigahara and witness a “key moment in her life before she returned home for her quest for vengeance.” Sucker Punch promises new weapons, armor, cosmetic options, and more in this expansion
Players who already own Ghost of Yotei can buy the new DLC expansion to get Most Wanted and the new location for just $15. Meanwhile, a new complete edition of the game will also be available that includes all the DLC and updates and the main game for $70.
Sadly, Sucker Punch doesn’t seem to have any new content planned for Ghost of Yotei’s very, very good multiplayer RPG mode. But getting to play as Jin again in the roguelike mode is pretty dang cool.
Ghost of Yotei: Echoes of Sekigahara is set to launch on PS5 on October 1.
