Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition Full Map Overview
The Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition full map covers the northern land of Ezo plus one significant new addition: the Ashoro Foothills, territory claimed by a fresh enemy faction called the Vipers. If you mastered every ridge and coastline in the base game, the Complete Edition gives you one more densely packed region to clear, alongside flashback story areas set during the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600.
Video Highlights:
- Complete Edition launches October 1, 2026 with Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted
- Ashoro Foothills briefly appeared on the map after a recent patch before being removed
- The new region is east of the Tokachi Range, comparable in size to Oshima Coast
- A wall near the Marshland Homestead likely gates the DLC entrance
The Ashoro Foothills were accidentally visible on the in-game map for a short window after the most recent patch, positioned just east of the Tokachi Range. Sucker Punch quickly removed it, but the glimpse confirmed the region is not enormous — it matches the footprint of Oshima Coast or Teshio Ridge. Those two regions are among the most content-dense in the game, so expect the Foothills to follow the same pattern: compact but packed with objectives.
Head to the area just east of the Marshland Homestead in the base game. A newly added wall there almost certainly marks where you will access the DLC region once the Complete Edition content unlocks. Visiting it now lets you plan your fast-travel network before launch.
Base Game Regions vs. the New Map Expansion
Here is how the known Ezo regions compare, including the new addition:
| Region | Approximate Size | Content Density | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ashoro Foothills (new) | Medium | High (expected) | Vipers territory, DLC region, east of Tokachi Range |
| Oshima Coast | Medium | High | Reference size comparison for the Foothills |
| Teshio Ridge | Medium | High | Reference size comparison for the Foothills |
| Tokachi Range | Large | High | Directly west of the new region |
| Marshland Homestead area | Medium | Medium | Contains the suspected DLC entry wall |
Ashoro Foothills
- New DLC region
- Controlled by the Vipers
- Compact but dense
Sekigahara Flashbacks
- Story-only map areas
- Battle of Sekigahara, 1600
- Weapon master training grounds
Base Ezo Map
- Unchanged in layout
- Patch 2.0 QoL updates apply
- Free for all owners
Note that the Sekigahara sequences are narrative flashback zones rather than a freely explorable open-world addition — they take place between two points in Atsu's life, jumping between Ezo during the main story and the pre-Yotei battle. Even so, they expand the total playable space considerably, and if the Iki Island DLC from Ghost of Tsushima is any indicator, the overall expansion should offer roughly 15 to 20 hours of additional story content.
Do not judge the expansion by the Foothills' footprint alone. Much of the new content plays out in Sekigahara flashbacks and large battle scenes, so the effective playable area of the Complete Edition is significantly larger than the single new map region suggests.
How to Unlock the Full Map: Access Requirements
Sucker Punch has not officially confirmed the DLC access requirements, but strong precedent from Ghost of Tsushima's Iki Island expansion points to a mid-game gate rather than a completed-story requirement.
Progress Through the Base Game
Reach at least the midway point of the main story. Community speculation based on Atsu's sash in the trailer — with the Snake, the Oni, and the Kitsune's names crossed out — suggests the DLC unlocks after defeating those three targets.
Locate the Eastern Wall
Travel to the area east of the Marshland Homestead and confirm the new wall structure. This is the expected gateway into the Ashoro Foothills.
Enter the Ashoro Foothills
Once the Complete Edition content is live, pass through the gate and begin clearing the Vipers' territory. Expect tougher enemies than the surrounding base-game regions.
Play the Sekigahara Flashbacks
Follow Nagato's storyline as he is hunted by the Vipers. These flashbacks introduce the new heavy weapons — a massive hammer and a giant axe — through weapon master training sequences.
With Iki Island, enemies were noticeably stronger than base-game content, and many players recommended finishing the main story first. Expect a similar difficulty spike in the Foothills. If you enter under-leveled, the narrative payoff of Atsu's pre-Yotei backstory may also land with less impact.
Complete Edition Versions and What Includes the Map Content
| Version | Price (USD) | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Edition (new buyers) | $69.99 | Base game, Legends co-op, deluxe digital content, both expansions |
| Complete Edition Upgrade (base owners) | $14.99 | Echoes of Sekigahara + Most Wanted |
| Patch 2.0 updates | Free | Transmog, Beauty of Yotei mode, photo mode, new Watanabe music |
Pre-ordering the upgrade by September 30, 2026 grants early access to the Sakai armor, but this is not a pre-order exclusive — you can still unlock it by playing through Most Wanted.
If you already own the base game, the $14.99 upgrade is the cheapest route to the full map. If you are new, the $69.99 Complete Edition bundles everything released so far, including the Legends co-op mode.

FAQ
Q: Is the Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition full map bigger than the base game?
The open-world addition is one new region, the Ashoro Foothills, roughly the size of Oshima Coast or Teshio Ridge. However, the Sekigahara flashback areas add substantial playable story space, bringing the estimated total expansion content to 15-20 hours.
Q: Where is the new region on the map?
The Ashoro Foothills sit just east of the Tokachi Range. The entry point is likely a new wall located east of the Marshland Homestead, which was quietly added to the base game before launch.
Q: Do I need to finish the main story to access the new map area?
Sucker Punch has not confirmed this, but based on the Iki Island precedent and the crossed-out names on Atsu's sash in the trailer, expect access around the midway point after defeating the Snake, the Oni, and the Kitsune. Finishing the story first is recommended for difficulty and narrative reasons.
Q: Does the base game map change with the Complete Edition?
The layout stays the same, but the free patch 2.0 adds a transmog system, Beauty of Yotei screensaver mode with photo mode, and new Watanabe music tracks for all players, including base game owners.
