The post itself mostly serves to cover all of the big changes brought by the new Raid update, which launched April 10, but comes with the caveat that this content-packed patch will be the online modes&#8217; last.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;The Raid update was our last major planned update for Legends,&#8221; Bridges said. &#8220;It finishes the story of the Y\u014dtei Six in that mode. We\u2019ve loved to see players playing it, continue to play it and enjoy it. It\u2019s been great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Ghost of Yotei launched for PlayStation 5 October 2, 2025, but Sucker Punch didn&#8217;t go on to <u>announce<\/u> plans to add its Legends mode as a free DLC until February of this year. Its release date then followed March 10.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It&#8217;s unclear why the studio has ceased support for any future major updates just two months removed from its launch. Although major content updates are coming to an end, Sucker Punch did not clarify how long Ghost of Yotei Legends will receive smaller patches for things like bug fixes and balancing.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It&#8217;s especially shocking news considering Sucker Punch supported the <u>Legends mode for Ghost of Tsushima<\/u> long after its <u>launch in October 2020<\/u>. December of that same year brought <u>PlayStation-themed skins<\/u> based on Bloodborne, God of War, and more, for example. Then, in August 2021, the studio announced <u>a standalone version<\/u> of the experience, which also included a whole new game mode called Rivals when it launched in September.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Ghost of Yotei Legends Concept Art<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Ghost of Yotei launched as a particularly popular PS5 exclusive, with Sony saying in February that it &#8220;significantly&#8221; contributed to its financial results at the time.
