Ghost of Yotei's DLC released on October 1, 2026, a day later in some territories: the Echoes of Sekigahara story expansion and the Most Wanted survival mode both arrived with patch 2.0 as part of the Complete Edition. Existing owners add both through the Complete Edition Upgrade, priced at $14.99 at launch, while the free Legends co-op mode had already arrived on March 10, 2026. As of November 2026, no further expansion has been announced.
We checked dates, prices and requirements against the PlayStation Blog's Complete Edition, Most Wanted and Jin Sakai posts, Gematsu's Legends announcement, PowerPyx's Echoes of Sekigahara roadmap and KeenGamer's start guide and tale list in November 2026.
Every Add-On and Its Release Date
Ghost of Yotei has had three major additions since its PS5 launch on October 2, 2025, and they are easy to mix up because they arrived in different ways. Legends is a free online mode. Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted are paid content bundled together. A handful of smaller free updates, such as patch 1.100 with New Game Plus, sit between them.
| Content | Release | How you get it |
|---|---|---|
| New Game Plus (patch 1.100) | November 24, 2025 | Free update |
| Legends co-op mode (version 1.5) | March 10, 2026 | Free for all owners |
| Echoes of Sekigahara expansion | October 1, 2026 (October 2 in some territories) | Complete Edition or Upgrade |
| Most Wanted survival mode | October 1, 2026 (October 2 in some territories) | Complete Edition or Upgrade |
The PlayStation Blog timed the Complete Edition to the game's first anniversary. Both paid additions arrive through patch v2.0, so the first step if anything is missing is to make sure the game is fully updated. Gematsu reported that Legends was followed by a Raid against the Dragon and Lord Saito, scheduled for April 2026.
Echoes of Sekigahara: The Story Expansion
Echoes of Sekigahara is the narrative expansion. The PlayStation Blog describes it as split between the present day and flashbacks to Atsu's time on the mainland, where she fought at the Battle of Sekigahara. In the present, Nagato, a figure from Atsu's past, has arrived in Ezo and is wanted by the Vipers, the outlaws who followed the Snake. Atsu reluctantly teams up with him to find an ally the Vipers have taken.
The setting is the Ashoro Foothills, a previously unseen part of Ezo that the Vipers have taken over. The expansion adds new enemy types, heavy weapons, mythic tales, abilities, armor sets and cosmetics. KeenGamer lists seven main tales, from A Handsome Reward to The Nature of War, plus the mythic tale The Wolf's Chosen, the side tale A Mother's Love and six new bounties, including Lady Kitami and Munetaka the Horse Thief.
It is not a huge region. PowerPyx estimates six to eight hours to finish everything, rates its 12 bronze trophies at 3 out of 10 difficulty and says all of them can be done on Casual. That makes it a satisfying weekend's worth of content rather than a second campaign. New armor from it fits alongside the sets in our armor rankings.
How to Start Echoes of Sekigahara
You do not need to finish the main story first, but you do need to be well into it. PowerPyx says the expansion opens once you have killed the Oni and the Kitsune in the main campaign. A gold snake icon labeled Echoes of Sekigahara then appears on your map, and you start it by picking the Nagato the Handsome poster from a bounty board.
KeenGamer's step list adds the earlier main tales The Old Inn and The Way of Dual Katana to the requirements and says you must have spoken to Kojiro the bounty broker at least once. Those come naturally on the way to the Oni and the Kitsune anyway. It lists bounty boards at Yotei's Shadow Inn in Yotei Grasslands, Ishikari Market in Ishikari Plain and the Matsumae Residences on Oshima Coast.
- Install patch v2.0 or later and own the Complete Edition or the Upgrade.
- Finish The Oni and The Kitsune main tales.
- Talk to Kojiro the bounty broker if you have not already.
- Pick the Nagato the Handsome poster from a bounty board and follow the marker to the Ashoro Foothills.
If the poster does not appear, the usual causes are an outdated game version, a missing upgrade on the account you are signed in with, or a revenge tale that is not fully finished. The Kitsune tale in particular runs across several quests and only ends after its final duel, so check that it is marked complete before assuming something is broken.
For full completion, PowerPyx notes you also need to have reached Oshima Coast. If you have not decided which revenge tale to chase next, our Yotei Six order guide explains how the Oni and Kitsune fit into the campaign, and our quest list shows where the expansion's tales slot in.
Most Wanted: The Roguelike Mode
Most Wanted is the second half of the paid content. The PlayStation Blog calls it a brand new single-player combat survival mode and its spin on a roguelike. You accept a bounty on one of the Yotei Six, clear waves of enemies and minibosses, pick perks between waves and finish against the bounty's target, with the hardest bounty ending against Lord Saito himself.
There are four playable hunters: Atsu from the start, then Oyuki, Nagato and Ghost of Tsushima's Jin Sakai, unlocked by playing. Jin carries all four of his original stances. A November 4, 2026 post on the PlayStation Blog from Sucker Punch's team explains how he was rebuilt for the mode. Cosmetics earned in Most Wanted also unlock in the main game and in Echoes of Sekigahara. Our Most Wanted guide covers the hunters, unlock costs and bounty order in detail.
Prices, Editions and Free Extras
At launch the digital Complete Edition cost $69.99 and the Complete Edition Upgrade cost $14.99, according to the PlayStation Blog. The Complete Edition includes the main game, Legends, Echoes of Sekigahara, Most Wanted, the Digital Deluxe Edition content and a new Charm of Hokkyokusei. Players who bought digitally by September 30, 2026 also got an early unlock of the Sakai Armor, a throwback to Jin's family armor.
The same October 1 patch gave every owner some free additions, even without the upgrade:
- Beauty of Yotei mode, a screensaver style view of Ezo's landscapes.
- New Watanabe Mode music tracks.
- An option to keep one armor set's appearance while using another set's stats.
- A high contrast accessibility option.
Prices change with sales and regions, so check the PlayStation Store before buying. Whatever you pay, everything here is PS5 only; our PC status guide explains why there is still no PC version.
Which Version Should You Buy?
The right purchase depends entirely on what you already own. If you have the base game, you do not need to buy anything again: the Complete Edition Upgrade adds Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted to the copy you already have. Legends is already yours as a free update, so the upgrade is only about the two October 2026 additions.
If you are new to the game, the Complete Edition is the simplest choice because it bundles everything in one purchase, including the Digital Deluxe items such as the Snake's armor set and the unique horse color. Buying the standard game and adding the upgrade later reaches the same content, so compare the two on the PlayStation Store at the time you buy, since sales can change which route works out cheaper.
- Own the base game: buy the Complete Edition Upgrade.
- New player: the Complete Edition covers everything.
- Only want co-op: Legends is free with the base game, but online play needs PlayStation Plus.
- Only want the story: the base game plus the upgrade, then play Echoes once you reach the Oni and the Kitsune.
One practical tip: if you are partway through the campaign when you upgrade, keep playing until both revenge tales are done before you start Echoes, then take the expansion in one block so its seven main tales stay fresh in your memory.
Is More DLC Coming?
As of November 10, 2026, Sony and Sucker Punch have not announced another expansion. The most recent official Ghost of Yotei post we found, the PlayStation Blog's November 4 feature on Jin Sakai, looks back at Most Wanted and does not mention any upcoming content. Treat any "second expansion" release date you see online as rumor until it appears on the PlayStation Blog.
In practice, Ghost of Yotei now feels like a finished package: the campaign, New Game Plus, Legends with its Raid, Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted. If a new announcement lands, it will almost certainly come through the same channel that announced the Complete Edition in August 2026.
Skipping Straight to Max Threat in Most Wanted
Unlocking all four hunters and clearing every bounty at the highest threat level takes a lot of repeat runs. If you would rather start at the top, the store's Most Wanted DLC modded save lists all four hunters (Jin, Atsu, Oyuki and Nagato), all techniques and skills, all charms with every charm upgrade, all six boss bounties completed and replayable with max threat unlocked, all boss armor dyes and Sakai armor sets, and 999,999 coins.
The page is specific about requirements: it is a PlayStation 5 save, you must already own the game and the Most Wanted DLC on the account, and PlayStation Plus is required on the same account being modded. The Story Mode and Legends saves are separate products on the Ghost of Yotei hub.
