Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition launched on PlayStation 5 on October 1, 2026, a year after Ghost of Yōtei itself. It bundles the base game and the Legends multiplayer mode with two new pieces of content: Echoes of Sekigahara, a single-player narrative expansion, and Most Wanted, a new single-player combat survival mode.
Most Wanted
Most Wanted is Sucker Punch’s take on a roguelike. Players accept a bounty on one of the Yōtei Six, then fight through waves of increasingly tough enemies before a boss fight against that target. During a run, players choose perks that change their build. Between runs, they spend currency on permanent upgrades and unlock new characters. The playable roster includes Atsu, Oyuki, Nagato (introduced in Echoes of Sekigahara) and Jin Sakai, the protagonist of Ghost of Tsushima.
My role
I came up with Most Wanted and built its prototype.

Praise
…Most Wanted mode is all killer, no filler, and it gives the overall package some serious value.
Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition’s Most Wanted mode is a compelling take on the roguelike genre…
For fans of Yotei's existing action, it's a fiendishly addictive time sink.
…Most Wanted offers a dynamic new way to experience combat.
