What the Complete Edition Upgrade Includes
The Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition launched on October 1, 2026, bundling every piece of content released so far into one package. The structure is straightforward: new buyers get everything in one purchase, while existing owners can grab an upgrade at a discount.
Video Highlights:
- Complete Edition bundles base game, Legends co-op, and both new expansions
- Upgrade costs $14.99 if you already own Ghost of Yotei
- Echoes of Sekigahara explores Atsu's past at the Battle of Sekigahara
- Most Wanted roguelike mode features four playable characters including Jin Sakai
- Free Patch 2.0 adds transmog and Beauty of Yotei mode
Here is the full pricing and content breakdown:
| Edition | Price (USD) | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Edition (new buyers) | $69.99 | Base game, Legends co-op, deluxe digital content, Echoes of Sekigahara, Most Wanted |
| Complete Edition Upgrade (owners) | $14.99 | Echoes of Sekigahara + Most Wanted expansions |
| Patch 2.0 Update | Free | Transmog, Beauty of Yotei mode, new music |
The Sakai armor early unlock for pre-ordering by September 30 is not exclusive. You can still unlock it by playing through Most Wanted — pre-ordering only grants earlier access at launch.
Echoes of Sekigahara DLC Breakdown
The headline expansion takes place across two points in Atsu's life: her time in Ezo during the events of Ghost of Yotei, and flashbacks to the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 — a real historical conflict Atsu references in the main story. This is your chance to learn what Atsu was doing before returning home to avenge her family.
Key story and content elements:
| Element | Details |
|---|---|
| Setting | Dual timeline: Ezo (present) and Sekigahara (flashback) |
| New companion focus | Nagato, hunted by the Vipers |
| New enemy faction | The Vipers, loyal to the Snake |
| New region | Ashoro Foothills, east of the Tokachi Range |
| Estimated length | Roughly 15–20 hours (based on Iki Island comparison) |
The Ashoro Foothills region briefly appeared on the map after a recent patch before being removed — it's comparable in size to the Oshima Coast or Teshio Ridge, both of which are densely packed with content.
In the base game, the Snake was essentially a tutorial boss and could be skipped in New Game Plus. The Vipers faction strongly suggests this expansion finally gives the Snake the depth — and potential rematch — players wanted.
When Can You Access the DLC?
While Sucker Punch hasn't confirmed requirements, the pattern from Ghost of Tsushima's Iki Island DLC is the best guide: expect access around the midway point of the story rather than requiring full completion. Atsu's sash in the trailer shows three crossed-out names — the Snake, the Oni, and the Kitsune — all of which can be defeated by roughly the halfway mark, supporting this theory.
Like Iki Island, enemies in the DLC will likely hit harder than base game foes. If you've finished the main story, the narrative callbacks will also land with more impact.
Most Wanted Roguelike Mode
Most Wanted is a new single-player roguelike mode included with the Complete Edition upgrade. Runs begin by selecting a bounty from a bounty board, then surviving waves of enemies and mini-bosses before facing a final boss.
Pick a Bounty
Choose a bounty from the bounty board to define your run's objectives and difficulty.
Survive the Waves
Fight through waves of enemies and mini-bosses. Perks earned during a run last only for that run.
Defeat the Final Boss
Complete the run by taking down the bounty target at the end.
Spend Your Mon
Convert earnings into permanent unlocks: techniques, weapon upgrades, charms, and new characters.
Playable Characters
| Character | Origin |
|---|---|
| Atsu | Ghost of Yotei protagonist |
| O-Yuki | Base game companion |
| Nagato | Companion, central to the new DLC |
| Jin Sakai | The original Ghost, with his four Tsushima katana stances |
Jin's inclusion brings all four of his katana stances from Ghost of Tsushima into a modernized combat system. Players hoping for a current-gen Tsushima experience should prioritize unlocking him.
Free Patch 2.0 Features
Even if you skip the upgrade entirely, Patch 2.0 delivers meaningful quality-of-life improvements to the base game at no cost:
Transmog System
- Swap armor appearance freely
- Keep your preferred perks
- Style no longer sacrifices stats
Beauty of Yotei Mode
- Screensaver-style scenic mode
- Showcases Ezo's landscapes
- Includes photo mode support
New Music
- Additional Watanabe tracks
- More variety for exploration
The Patch 2.0 features are available to all base game owners regardless of whether you purchase the Complete Edition upgrade. The $14.99 upgrade only covers the two expansions.
Should You Buy the Upgrade? — Decision Checklist
Use this checklist to confirm the upgrade is right for you before purchasing:
Before You Buy the Complete Edition Upgrade:
- You already own the Ghost of Yotei base game
- You want the Echoes of Sekigahara story expansion
- You're interested in the Most Wanted roguelike mode
- You want to play as Jin Sakai with his Tsushima stances
- You don't only want Patch 2.0 features (those are free)
For quick reference, here's how the content splits:
