Sucker Punch and Sony have revealed a new gameplay trailer for Ghost of Yōtei, before the game releases on October 2. The trailer also showcases more of the game’s story and confirms the return of the Legends mode from Ghost of Tsushima.
According to a PlayStation Blog post, the new Legends mode will feature two-player story missions, four-player survival matches, and four character classes. It also states that “this time around, you’ll play as one of four character classes and try to defeat demonic, giant versions of members of the Yōtei Six, plus a variety of new enemies that fight alongside them.” It will release as free DLC for Ghost of Yōtei owners in 2026.

Recently, PlayStation held a State of Play dedicated to the game. The State of Play reveals that three new special modes will be available in Ghost of Yōtei. One of these modes is Kurosawa mode, based on director Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai, Yojimbo) which returns from Ghost of Tsushima. This adds a black and white filter, an audio filter, film grain, and increased wind.
There are two new modes as well, the first of which being Miike mode, based on director Takashi Miike (13 Assassins). This adds a closer camera and more blood and mud. Lastly, there’s Watanabe mode, based on Shinichirō Watanabe, the director of anime such as Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, and Lazarus. Much like Samurai Champloo, the mode adds a lo-fi soundtrack which plays during exploration and combat.
Lastly, Ghost of Yōtei launches on October 2 for PlayStation 5, and pre-orders are available in PlayStation Store, starting at $69.99.
