Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition is the one-year package: new story expansion, a combat survival mode, Legends co-op in the bundle, and a free quality-of-life patch for everyone who already owns the game. Paid content unlocks with patch v2.0 on October 1, 2026 globally (October 2 in some Asia-Pacific territories). This is a content story – new places to ride, new fights to perfect – not a graphics-mode writeup.
Sucker Punch laid it out on the PlayStation Blog. If you already finished Atsu’s revenge run and bounced off, this is the excuse to reload the save. If you never started, Complete is the clean buy.
Echoes of Sekigahara
Echoes of Sekigahara is the narrative expansion. It splits between present-day Ezo and flashbacks to Atsu’s time on the mainland during the Battle of Sekigahara. You meet Nagato, a figure from her past who shows up wanted by the Vipers – poachers loyal to the Snake, left leaderless after his death.
In the present you explore Ashoro Foothills, a previously unseen valley that used to hold wildlife and now looks stripped. Expect new enemy types, heavy weapons, mythic tales and abilities, armor sets, dyes, and the usual Sucker Punch side-path density. The past chapters fill in a key stretch of Atsu’s life before she came home for vengeance. Tone stays character-first: reluctant team-ups, open-world traversal, and combat that rewards reading the fight instead of mashing.

Most Wanted
Most Wanted is a single-player combat survival mode – Sucker Punch’s spin on a roguelike. You pick bounties tied to members of the Yōtei Six, clear waves and minibosses, grab perks mid-run, and push toward the bounty boss. Difficulty escalates on replay, with Lord Saito as the top-end target.
Four playable characters once unlocked: Atsu (dual katana), Oyuki (kusarigama), Nagato (yari), and Jin Sakai with his Ghost of Tsushima stances. Cosmetics earned in Most Wanted carry into the main game and Echoes. Mon spent outside runs unlocks techniques, weapon upgrades, charms, and characters. A later PS Blog deep dive covers the roster and bounty loop if you want the full kit list.
Pricing and what is free
Complete Edition is $69.99 and includes the base game, Ghost of Yōtei Legends (online co-op up to four, needs PlayStation Plus), Echoes of Sekigahara, Most Wanted, Digital Deluxe-era cosmetics, and the Charm of Hokkyokusei. Buy Complete now and you can play the base game and Legends immediately; Echoes and Most Wanted arrive with the October patch.
Complete Edition Upgrade is $14.99 for existing owners. That unlocks Echoes and Most Wanted on October 1, plus Digital Deluxe content and the Charm of Hokkyokusei if you never bought those. Physical Complete also lands October 1.
Everyone who owns Ghost of Yōtei gets a free patch on the same day even without the upgrade: Beauty of Yōtei (screensaver-style environment browse for Photo Mode), new Watanabe Mode tracks, armor appearance separate from armor stats, and a high-contrast accessibility option. Paid extras on Complete include new photo mode stamps, New Game Plus cosmetics, and trophies for the expansion and Most Wanted.
Fourteen ninety-nine for a story expansion plus a replayable combat mode is a fair ask if you still open the game. Sixty-nine ninety-nine Complete is the right SKU for anyone who skipped the original and wants Legends in the box. The free transmog-style armor option and Beauty mode are the quiet wins for owners who are done spending.
I am grabbing the upgrade for Echoes first, then seeing how long Most Wanted holds a weeknight. Anniversary packages this tidy are rare – use it or leave the patch notes for the free stuff and move on.
