Sucker Punch Productions announced during the latest PlayStation State of Play showcase that "Ghost of Yōtei" will launch a brand-new single-player roguelike survival mode, "Most Wanted," on October 1. This new mode will debut simultaneously with the "Echoes of Sekigahara" expansion, with one of the most anticipated highlights being the inclusion of "Ghost of Tsushima" protagonist Jin Sakai as a playable character.
In the "Most Wanted" mode, players must defeat a series of increasingly difficult bounty targets. Each stage will feature unique modifiers, and successfully completing challenges will unlock additional characters.
Beyond "Ghost of Yōtei" protagonist Atsu, characters Oyuki and Nagato will also be playable, with Jin Sakai requiring further unlocking. Sucker Punch stated that their team meticulously re-tuned Jin Sakai's character model, preserving his original "Ghost of Tsushima" aesthetic while integrating "Ghost of Yōtei"'s updated art and technical enhancements.
Regarding gameplay, Jin Sakai will wield his katana and utilize all four of his original sword stances from "Ghost of Tsushima," allowing players to exploit various enemy weaknesses. His initial loadout also includes sticky bombs and a half-bow. His ultimate ability is the iconic "Dance of Wrath," which allows him to attack multiple enemies simultaneously and disarm them. His chain kill ability, "Ghost Stance," terrifies nearby enemies and enables him to perform one-hit kills a limited number of times.
Both "Most Wanted" and "Echoes of Sekigahara" are set to release on October 1, 2026. Existing players can upgrade for $14.99 USD, while the digital "Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition" will be priced at $69.99 USD.
