Sucker Punch previews an upcoming patch for Ghost of Yotei, adding new content to the game including the highly anticipated New Game + mode. The hit game continues to evolve and grow, similar to its predecessor, with Ghost of Yotei‘s biggest jump set to happen sometime in 2026.
After its release in early October, Ghost of Yotei has been a success for Sony and Sucker Punch. The game hasn’t changed all that much since launch, getting a few updates here and there to fix remaining issues and bugs, but with the development team now stabilizing the experience, work has seemingly begun on the first phases of post-launch content. In fact, fans won’t have to wait too long to see some new content and feature additions to Ghost of Yotei.
‘It Saddened Me The Day That I Had To Kill That’ Ghost of Yotei Cut Down One Major Feature Prior to Release
Ghost of Yotei creative director Jason Connell revealed one feature that was scaled way back prior to launch, but was ultimately the right decision.
Ghost of Yotei Adds New Game Plus and More on November 24
In a new blog post, Sucker Punch’s Senior Communications Manager Andrew Goldfarb revealed that a new update for Ghost of Yotei is on the way. On November 24, players will be able to download the latest patch, which finally includes New Game Plus. Similar to New Game Plus in other popular games, Ghost of Yotei unlocks this option once the main campaign has been completed, adds two new difficulty options and two additional trophies to unlock while letting players keep their existing gear.
For opting into another playthrough, there are a few rewards as well. A new currency called Ghost Flowers can be used to exchange at a special vendor to unlock 10 brand-new charms and over 30 bonus cosmetics, including dyes and armor sets, to complement the already extensive gear in Ghost of Yotei. In addition, a new tier of upgrades for the existing armor sets and weapons will be unlocked, letting players get even stronger.
On top of New Game Plus, the update also adds a variety of features, including a stats screen and an ability to replay content when in the post-game. Ghost of Yotei‘s Photo mode gets new settings to play with including shutter speed, composition grid, and additional filters. Finally, more accessibility options are being added, such as being able to remap the directional buttons.
The post ends with another tease for 2026, when Ghost of Yotei is adding its Legends multiplayer mode. No additional details were provided unfortunately, but players already have a general idea of what to expect with it. The fan favorite mode is coming back as a free update, adding 2 co-op missions and 4 survival-style ones where players will be taking on demonic versions of the Yotei Six. As expected, players will have multiple classes to pick from for these missions, though details about who or what these are have not been revealed quite yet.
