Echoes Story Expansion
The headline addition is a brand-new narrative expansion structured across two timelines: present-day exploration and playable flashbacks. In the present, you explore a previously unseen valley that was once home to a character called Snake and his followers, the Vipers. The flashback chapters cover key moments before the protagonist's revenge quest began.
Alongside the new story, the expansion adds new enemy types, heavy weapons, armor sets, and dyes — essentially a new mainline story arc with its own complete narrative.
Present-Day Arc
- Explore an unseen valley
- Home of Snake and the Vipers
- New character Nagatsu appears
Flashback Arc
- Play through pivotal past events
- Covers the lead-up to the revenge quest
- Historical battle backdrop
New Gear
- New enemy types to fight
- Heavy weapons added
- New armor sets and dyes
Nagatsu is tied to the past events of the expansion and shows up in the present day, tying both timelines together. In Most Wanted, Nagatsu wields a yari (spear).
Most Wanted Combat Mode
Most Wanted is a brand-new single-player combat survival mode — Sucker Punch's take on a roguelike. Runs begin by accepting bounties, and taking down enemies earns perks and unlocks additional playable characters.
| Playable Character | Weapon | Style |
|---|---|---|
| Atsu (base roster) | Dual katanas | Aggressive close-range |
| Oyuki | Kusarigama (chain and sickle) | Mid-range control |
| Nagatsu | Yari (spear) | Reach and spacing |
Each run in Most Wanted starts fresh with bounty selection. Perks are earned per-run, so plan your build around the perks offered rather than relying on permanent upgrades.
Pricing and Upgrade Paths
Understanding which version to buy saves you real money. Here's the full breakdown:
| Version | Price | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Edition (new buyers) | $69.99 | Base game, Legends, Deluxe content, Echoes, Most Wanted |
| Complete Edition Upgrade (existing owners) | $14.99 | Echoes + Most Wanted added to your copy |
| Free patch (all owners) | $0 | Beauty of Yote mode, new tracks, QoL updates |
Check Your Current Ownership
If you already own Ghost of Yotei, the $14.99 upgrade is the better deal. If you skipped the Digital Deluxe content, pre-ordering the upgrade unlocks the charm immediately.
Pre-Order Before September 30
Digital purchases of the Complete Edition or upgrade before September 30 unlock the Sakai armor early on October 1 — a nod to the family armor from Ghost of Tsushima.
Download the Day-One Patch
