Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition is available on PS5, combining the main game and Legends with the Most Wanted survival mode and Echoes of Sekigahara story expansion. The two additions also came to existing owners through a $14.99 upgrade. A free version 2.0 update added several features for every owner. The key distinction is which content requires the Complete Edition purchase.
What the Complete Edition adds
The package brings together the original campaign, Ghost of Yōtei Legends online co-op, and the Digital Deluxe Edition content. The two headline additions are Most Wanted, a single-player combat survival mode, and Echoes of Sekigahara, a narrative expansion. The September 3 PlayStation.Blog article, Jin Sakai returns in Ghost of Yōtei: Most Wanted, details the upgrade price, modes and returning character list. PlayStation.Blog says the Complete Edition is available now on PS5. Its October 2 launch coverage describes the expansion's story as moving between Atsu's present and flashbacks to her time on the mainland.
For new players, Sony listed a $69.99 digital Complete Edition. Players who already own the game can add the new content with a separate $14.99 upgrade. Prices here are the US dollar prices from PlayStation's announcement. Store prices can vary by region, and the package is digital; check the local PlayStation Store listing before buying.
Most Wanted turns bounties into repeatable runs
Most Wanted takes Atsu and other characters through escalating combat encounters. Players choose a bounty, fight enemy waves and minibosses, and select perks as a run develops. Completing runs earns Mon, which can be spent between attempts on techniques, weapon upgrades, charms and character unlocks. PlayStation.Blog describes this as its spin on a roguelike, with the bounty challenges eventually leading to Lord Saito.
Four characters are playable after they are unlocked. Jin Sakai returns from Ghost of Tsushima with his four familiar stances. The PlayStation.Blog: Jin Sakai returns in Ghost of Yōtei: Most Wanted article confirms he is one of the mode's four characters, while Atsu, Oyuki and Nagato each bring a different mix of weapons and abilities. Cosmetics earned in Most Wanted also carry over to the main game and the story expansion.
Echoes of Sekigahara follows Atsu across two periods
The story expansion follows Atsu in the present and during the Battle of Sekigahara. PlayStation's announcement says those flashbacks explore her history with Nagato, who later arrives in Ezo and becomes part of the current conflict. The expansion adds the Ashoro Foothills area, new enemies and weapons, mythic tales, armor sets and cosmetics.
The official trailer gives a look at that story material. Erika Ishii, who voices Atsu, also discussed returning for the expansion in PlayStation.Blog's October 2 interview. She described recording new dialogue for the additional content, while the interview notes that Most Wanted is non-canonical. The expansion carries the new narrative, while the survival mode has a heightened, mythic tone.
Several version 2.0 features are free
Some October additions are available to every owner without the paid upgrade. PlayStation says all owners receive the Beauty of Yōtei mode, new Watanabe Mode tracks, a setting that separates armor appearance from its stats, and a high contrast accessibility option through version 2.0. Those features let owners change their photo and audio experience or appearance without purchasing the two new modes.
Online multiplayer in Legends requires PlayStation Plus, according to Sony's Complete Edition announcement. The single-player Most Wanted mode does not have that caveat in the feature description. If you are buying specifically for the expansion and survival mode, the upgrade is the lower-cost route for owners; the free patch covers the quality-of-life features separately.
