Summary

  • October 1 will bring Ghost of Yotei’s paid “Echoes of Sekigahara” expansion and “Most Wanted” single-player roguelike mode, sold as a $14.99 upgrade or in a $69.99 Complete Edition.
  • Echoes of Sekigahara follows Atsu across present-day Ezo and flashbacks to the Battle of Sekigahara, adding Nagato, a new valley tied to the Vipers, plus new enemies, heavy weapons, armor sets and dyes.
  • Most Wanted turns combat into bounty-based runs where kills earn perks and unlock playable characters, including Atsu with dual katana, Oyuki with a kusarigama and Nagato with a yari.
  • September 30 preorders of the Complete Edition include Sakai Armor and Digital Deluxe content, while the release lands one day before the game’s first anniversary on October 2.
  • The update expands a title that already added co-op Legends in March and remains one of PlayStation’s stronger first-party sellers despite no further major Legends updates.
