Ghost of Yōtei is getting a new online co-op multiplayer mode called Ghost of Yōtei Legends, which launches on March 10. Developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the mode brings multiplayer gameplay to the action adventure title alongside its single-player campaign. As revealed in PlayStation blog post, the update will be available at no extra cost for players who own the game. Ghost of Yōtei Legends builds on ideas from the multiplayer mode introduced in Ghost of Tsushima while introducing new mechanics, enemies and missions set in a supernatural version of the game’s world.
Ghost of Yōtei Legends availability
According to the blog post, Ghost of Yōtei Legends will launch as a free update for all owners of the game on March 10.
To recall, the multiplayer mode was announced last year and later shown in a State of Play presentation in February, 2026.
According to Sucker Punch Productions, development of the multiplayer mode began during the early stages of the main game’s production. A team worked on adapting gameplay systems for multiplayer while the single-player campaign was still in development.
Ghost of Yōtei Legends’ story based on the Yōtei Six
The multiplayer mode revisits the story of the Yōtei Six, characters who appear in the main game’s storyline.
In Legends, the events are retold years later in a mythical form.
Players will face large supernatural enemies instead of human warlords. Each boss is linked to a faction of enemies and sub-bosses with abilities tied to the main character of that domain. For example, enemies connected to the Kitsune boss include characters with ice-based powers.
Ghost of Yōtei Legends: Classes and weapons
The mode includes several character classes that players can choose from – Samurai, Archer, Mercenary and Shinobi.
Each class has a preferred weapon type and a skill tree that allows players to unlock abilities and equipment. For example, the Samurai class uses the Odachi, while the Archer class uses the Yari. Players are not restricted to one weapon, the blog post states, adding that players can use other equipment during missions.
The game also includes build customization through gear upgrades and ability choices.
Ghost of Yōtei Legends: Missions and difficulty levels
Ghost of Yōtei Legends offers multiple mission types and four difficulty levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
Story missions are designed for two players and focus on the legends told by a storyteller. Incursion missions allow up to four players and involve fighting through enemy areas before facing a boss.
Another mode called Survival is designed for four players and involves defending locations from waves of enemies. Players can activate abilities that provide temporary advantages or face penalties if objectives are lost.
The blog post states that a Raid mode will be released after launch. The Raid will include the final bosses from the Yōtei Six storyline and is designed for four players working together.
