Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition: What You Get
The Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition limited edition PS5 release is the definitive way to experience Sucker Punch's sequel, bundling the base game, the Legends co-op multiplayer mode, all previously released deluxe digital content, and two major October 1 additions: the Echoes of Sekigahara story expansion and the Most Wanted roguelike mode.
Video Highlights:
- Complete Edition pricing breakdown: $69.99 full bundle, $14.99 upgrade for base game owners
- Echoes of Sekigahara explores Atsu's history at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600
- Most Wanted roguelike mode features Atsu, O-Yuki, Nagato, and Jin Sakai as playable characters
- Pre-ordering by September 30 grants early unlock of the Sakai armor
- Free patch 2.0 adds transmog, Beauty of Yotei mode, and photo mode
The pricing structure is straightforward once you break it down:
| Edition | Price (USD) | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Edition (new buyers) | $69.99 | Base game, Legends co-op, deluxe digital content, both new expansions |
| Complete Edition Upgrade | $14.99 | Echoes of Sekigahara + Most Wanted only |
| Patch 2.0 | Free | Transmog, Beauty of Yotei mode, photo mode, new Watanabe music |
The Sakai armor early unlock from pre-ordering is not a permanent exclusive. You can still earn it by playing through Most Wanted — pre-ordering only gives you earlier access at launch.
Echoes of Sekigahara DLC Breakdown
The headline expansion in the Complete Edition, Echoes of Sekigahara, jumps between two periods of Atsu's life: her time in Ezo during the main game, and flashbacks to the historic Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 — a battle Atsu references during the base story. This is the deepest look yet at what Atsu did before returning home to avenge her family.
Key elements confirmed for the DLC:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Setting | New Ashoro Foothills region (east of Tokachi Range) + Sekigahara flashbacks |
| Region size | Comparable to Oshima Coast or Teshio Ridge — compact but dense |
| New character | Nagato, one of Atsu's companions, hunted by the Vipers |
| New enemies | The Vipers — a gang loyal to the Snake |
| New weapons | Massive hammer and giant axe (heavy weapon class) |
| Estimated length | Roughly 15–20 hours (based on Iki Island comparison) |
The Snake was largely treated as a tutorial boss in the base game and could even be skipped in New Game Plus. The Vipers expansion finally gives the Snake's faction real screen time — and possibly a proper rematch.
Access Requirements
Sucker Punch has not officially confirmed when the DLC unlocks, but the pattern from Ghost of Tsushima's Iki Island strongly suggests:
- You likely need to progress to roughly the midway point of the campaign
- Atsu's sash in the trailer shows three crossed-out names — the Snake, the Oni, and the Kitsune — all defeatable by mid-game
- Finishing the main story first likely makes the DLC narrative hit harder and keeps you from being under-leveled
Most Wanted Roguelike Mode
Most Wanted is the Complete Edition's second major addition: a single-player roguelike mode built around bounty hunting. Each run starts by choosing a bounty from a bounty board, then surviving waves of enemies and mini-bosses before reaching the final target.
Perks earned during a run only last for that run. Permanent progression is separate, purchased with mon earned across runs.
Permanent unlocks you can spend mon on:
| Unlock Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Techniques | Special combat abilities |
| Weapon upgrades | Improved gear tiers |
| Charms | Build-defining modifiers |
| Characters | Atsu, O-Yuki, Nagato, Jin Sakai |
Jin Sakai
- The original Ghost returns as playable
- Reportedly retains all four katana stances from Tsushima
- Combines classic movesets with Yotei's modern combat enhancements
Atsu & Companions
- Atsu, O-Yuki, and Nagato each offer distinct playstyles
- Earned through persistent roguelike progression
- Encourages experimenting across multiple runs
For players skeptical of roguelikes, the comparison point is God of War Ragnarok's Valhalla — a mode that won over many doubters with its focused design and meaningful progression.
Free Patch 2.0 Features
Even if you skip the Complete Edition entirely, patch 2.0 delivers meaningful quality-of-life improvements to the base game at no additional cost:
| Feature | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Transmog system | Swap armor appearance without losing perk bonuses |
| Beauty of Yotei mode | Scenic screensaver showcasing Ezo's landscapes |
| Photo mode | Capture shots across the world |
| New Watanabe music | Additional music options for the minigame |
The transmog system was the most requested feature since launch — no more choosing between the stats you need and the look you want.
Which Version Should You Buy?
Follow this decision path to pick the right purchase:
Check if you own the base game
If you already own Ghost of Yotei, the $14.99 upgrade gets you both expansions. If you skipped the base game or want Legends co-op included, buy the full $69.99 Complete Edition.
Decide on pre-order timing
Pre-order by September 30 for the early Sakai armor unlock — or wait, since the armor is still earnable in Most Wanted after launch.
Download patch 2.0 first
Regardless of edition, grab the free patch to enable transmog and the new modes before starting new content.
Plan your DLC entry point
Push to at least the mid-campaign before starting Echoes of Sekigahara; finish the main story first for the best narrative payoff.
If you finished the base game at launch, the $14.99 upgrade is one of the best value propositions of the year — 15–20 hours of story content plus a full roguelike mode.
Before You Start the Complete Edition:
- Download patch 2.0 and set up transmog
- Pre-order or upgrade before September 30 for early Sakai armor
- Reach at least the mid-campaign point for DLC access
- Defeat the Snake, Oni, and Kitsune before starting Sekigahara
- Try Most Wanted to unlock permanent techniques and characters
