Ghost of Yōtei Multiplayer DLC Arrives on March 10

Ghost of Yōtei Legends, a multiplayer DLC expansion for Sony’s Ghost of Yōtei, will release on March 10, 2026, for PlayStation 5. The DLC was announced in Sony’s Feb 12 State of Play showcase as a new patch (Patch 1.5), “free for all Ghost of Yōtei owners.”

With the Legends expansion, Sony is expanding Ghost of Yōtei beyond its single-player format into a co-op multiplayer model. Depending on the mission type, a player can team up with one to three more players to progress within the game's narrative and  “challenge monstrous, supernatural versions of the Yōtei Six.”

Apart from multiple mission types, Ghost of Yōtei Legends will come with distinct maps and warrior classes to add combat variety within a team. Each class will specialize in at least one of Ghost of Yōtei’s weapons and different combat systems. Additionally, players will gain “Legendary weapons and gear” as they progress through higher-difficulty challenges.

New Ghost of Yotei Multiplayer Expansion Offers Mission and Class Variety

The Ghost of Yōtei DLC will launch with three distinct mission types. In Survival mode, teams of up to four players will fight waves of increasingly challenging enemies to take control of the territory, in one of the mode’s four designated maps. Every map will feature different Curses and Blessings, offering either disadvantage or advantage for the team in accordance with their performances.

The Story mode supports two-player cooperation to tackle a sequence of 12 missions. After progressing through every set of three Story missions, players will unlock “large-scale four-player assault” Incursions.

Every Incursion battle will feature Yōtei Six members, such as a “supernatural version of the Spider, the Oni, the Kitsune, or the Snake.” For other Yōtei Six members, the DLC will offer a Raid, featuring members like Lord Saito and Dragon, in April.

As already mentioned, Ghost of Yōtei Legends features Shinobi, Samurai, Archer, and Mercenary, in total four different warrior classes. The Mercenary class specializes in dual katana and utility-focused skills, while Shinobis have primarily stealth-focused skills using a kusarigama.

The Archer types use the yari (spear) while carrying an additional ranged weapon. However, in terms of weaponry, the Samurai class has the most weapon types at their disposal, while specializing in ōdachi.

Legends will also introduce social spaces where players can hone skills, try archery challenges, and engage in mini-games like Zeni Hajiki or Bamboo Strike. With these new features, the expansion represents a significant evolution of Ghost of Yōtei, transforming the critically and commercially successful single-player game into a hybrid experience with structured multiplayer content.

Developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Ghost of Yōtei is the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. The former sold 1.3M units on its first day, outpacing the early performance of its predecessor and eventually driving Sony’s financial results.
