What's Included in the Complete Edition
The Complete Edition functions as the definitive bundle for both newcomers and returning players. Here is the full content breakdown:
| Content | Type | Access Method |
|---|---|---|
| Ghost of Yotei base game | Full campaign | Included on disc |
| Legends co-op mode | 4-player online, raid | Included on disc |
| Digital Deluxe content | Charm of Hachiman's Kyusaku | Included |
| Echoes of Iki Island | Story expansion | Day-one patch |
| Most Wanted | Roguelike combat mode | Day-one patch |
| Beauty of Yotei mode | Screensaver/photo mode | Free patch for all owners |
Echoes of Iki Island
- New narrative expansion
- Dual timelines: present day and flashbacks
- New character Nagatsu, tied to Iki's past
- New enemies, heavy weapons, armor sets, dyes
Most Wanted
- Single-player roguelike mode
- Accept bounties to start new runs
- Earn perks by defeating enemies
- Unlock additional playable characters
Free Day-One Patch
- Beauty of Yotei screensaver mode
- New Watenabe mode tracks
- Appearance/stat armor separation
- High contrast accessibility option
The story expansion is structured across two timelines. In the present day, you explore a previously unseen valley once home to a character called Snake and his followers, the Vipers. The flashback sections let you play through the Battle of Iki Island, a real historical battle, covering a key moment before the protagonist's revenge quest begins.
If you already own the base game, the $14.99 upgrade adds the two new content drops. Pre-ordering the upgrade before September 30 also unlocks the Sakai armor on October 1, a callback to Jin's family armor.
Pricing and Purchase Options
Understanding the pricing structure prevents overpaying. Match your situation to the right option:
| Buyer Situation | Recommended Option | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| New player, want physical | Complete Edition disc | $69.99 | All content, patch required |
| New player, digital fine | Complete Edition digital | $69.99 | Same content, no disc |
| Own base game only | Upgrade pack | $14.99 | Adds Echoes + Most Wanted |
| Own Digital Deluxe | Upgrade pack | $14.99 | Charm already unlocked |
| Any existing owner | Free patch | $0 | QoL + Beauty of Yotei only |
Digitally purchase or pre-order the upgrade by September 30, 2026 to receive early unlock of the Sakai armor on launch day. If you did not own the Digital Deluxe edition or the charm, pre-ordering the upgrade unlocks that content immediately as well.
One important distinction: the free patch available to every existing owner does not include Echoes of Iki Island or Most Wanted. Those two headline additions are exclusive to the Complete Edition purchase or the paid upgrade.
Most Wanted: Character Lineup
The new roguelike combat mode introduces distinct fighting styles through unlockable characters. Each wields a signature weapon:
| Character | Weapon | Style |
|---|---|---|
| Iki | Dual katanas | Aggressive close-range pressure |
| Oyuki | Kusarigama (chain and sickle) | Mid-range crowd control |
| Nagatsu | Yari (spear) | Reach and thrust attacks |
Accept a Bounty
Start a new run by picking up a bounty, which defines your run's objectives and enemy composition.
Fight and Earn Perks
Every enemy you take down grants perks, letting you stack power across the run.
Survive the Escalation
Encounters intensify as the run progresses, testing your build decisions.
Unlock Characters
Progression unlocks additional playable characters with new weapons and styles.
If the core combat loop of Ghost of Yotei is what kept you playing, this mode is built for you. It distills the standoff-and-strike formula into repeatable, escalating runs.

Q: How much does the Complete Edition cost?

Q: Is the upgrade worth it if I finished the base game?
