Sucker Punch Productions has officially announced that Ghost of Yōtei: Legends will release in 2026, following the base game’s launch on October 2, 2025, exclusively for PlayStation 5. The reveal came during the gamescom 2025 opening showcase, with further details shared on PlayStation.Blog.
A Supernatural Twist on Ghost of Yōtei
Unlike the grounded historical setting of the main game, Legends embraces a more mystical and eerie direction. The expansion will feature:
-
Two-player co-op story missions with narrative-driven objectives.
-
Four-player survival modes where teams face waves of enemies.
-
Four unique classes to choose from, each offering distinct combat abilities.
-
Boss battles against “demonic, giant versions” of the Yōtei Six and their fearsome allies.
This shift mirrors the approach of Ghost of Tsushima: Legends (2020), which blended Japanese folklore with intense cooperative gameplay.
Free for Ghost of Yōtei Owners
Just like its predecessor, the Legends DLC will be free for all Ghost of Yōtei players—making it an easy gateway into supernatural samurai action for fans of both solo and multiplayer playstyles.
Trivia: Ghost of Yōtei & Legends
-
The “Legends” brand is now a staple for Sucker Punch, following its success with Ghost of Tsushima. Fans praised the 2020 version so much that it was expanded into a standalone mode.
-
Yōtei, also known as Mount Yōtei, is sometimes referred to as “Ezo Fuji” or “Hokkaido’s Mt. Fuji” due to its resemblance to Japan’s most iconic mountain. Its mystical aura makes it a fitting backdrop for folklore-inspired battles.
-
In Japanese mythology, supernatural warriors often take on oni (demons) and yōkai, which strongly influence the designs of Legends’ enemies.
