We’re six weeks removed from the launch of Ghost of Yotei, and if you’ve managed to complete the game in that time, Sucker Punch is rolling out the ideal update for you. A Ghost of Yotei New Game Plus mode is being added, giving players the perfect reason to jump back in, bringing some other neat additions, too.
On November 24, New Game Plus will become available on Ghost of Yotei, a new PlayStation Blog post reveals. As you might expect, it requires completing the main story first, but once you do, you can go straight back to the start of the narrative, but with all the equipment you unlocked for Atsu in your inventory and all your abilities.
On top of that, there will be higher difficulties to test all the weapons, armor and skills you've acquired, and a couple of trophies to unlock. The achievement hunting doesn't end there, since there's another currency coming with the update, Ghost Flowers, with its own set of items and collectibles to be gradually bought up.
Likewise, all the current equipment is getting another layer of upgrades, you'll be able to replay encounters from the post-game with additional stat tracking, and new accessibility options such as remapping are being added, too. This is quite a substantial upgrade from developer Sucker Punch, giving the perfect reason to dive back into Mount Yotei and go through Atsu's quest for revenge once again.
The studio ends the announcement blog with tease that it "can't wait to introduce you to Ghost of Yotei Legends in 2026." This is referring to another big update, the co-op multiplayer mode due next year.
The highly anticipated sequel to Ghost of Tsushima arrived in early October to critical acclaim and strong sales. Our own Ghost of Yotei review hailed it as "one of the first PS5 games to feel truly boundary pushing."
