The Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition launches on PlayStation 5 on October 1, 2026 for $69.99, bundling the base game with two new pieces of content: the story expansion Echoes of Sekigahara and a roguelike survival mode called Most Wanted. Existing owners can buy both add-ons separately for $14.99. Last updated 2026-09-04.
What’s New in the Complete Edition
Sony Interactive Entertainment confirmed the Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition on August 12, 2026, timed almost exactly to the base game’s first anniversary — Ghost of Yōtei originally launched on PS5 on October 2, 2025 according to Sony’s own press release. The Complete Edition includes the full base game, the previously released Ghost of Yōtei Legends mode, and both new content packs, and buyers can start playing the base game and Legends immediately while Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted arrive as a day-one patch on October 1.
Echoes of Sekigahara: The New Story Expansion
Echoes of Sekigahara is a narrative expansion that splits its story between the present day and flashbacks to protagonist Atsu’s time on the Japanese mainland, including her involvement in the real Battle of Sekigahara and a previously unseen valley area outside Hokkaidō. It’s the first time the Ghost of Yōtei series has stepped outside its Ezo setting, giving returning players new geography rather than just a higher difficulty tier.
Most Wanted: A Roguelike Survival Mode
Most Wanted is a brand-new single-player combat survival mode built as a spin on the roguelike format — runs are built around escalating waves of enemies rather than the open-world structure of the main campaign. It’s a genuinely different way to play the combat system rather than a reskinned horde mode, and it’s the piece of this release most likely to give Ghost of Yōtei’s combat long-term replay value after the story is done.
Complete Edition vs. Buying the Add-Ons Separately
| Option | Price | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Edition (new purchase) | $69.99 | Base game + Echoes of Sekigahara + Most Wanted |
| Echoes of Sekigahara + Most Wanted (existing owners) | $14.99 | Both add-ons only, base game not included |
| Base game only (if still available separately) | Varies by retailer | Original 2025 campaign, no new content |
The math is straightforward for anyone who already owns Ghost of Yōtei: paying $14.99 for both expansions is a fraction of the $69.99 Complete Edition price, so there’s no reason for existing players to rebuy the whole package. The Complete Edition pricing is really aimed at newcomers who haven’t bought the base game yet.
How This Compares to Ghost of Tsushima’s Director’s Cut
Sucker Punch took a similar approach with the original Ghost of Tsushima, which received a Director’s Cut about 13 months after its July 2020 launch. Ghost of Yōtei’s Complete Edition arrives faster, at almost exactly one year, and unlike the Director’s Cut — which added a new island region — Echoes of Sekigahara stays on the same map and instead uses flashback structure to add new space. That’s a smaller scope than a full new island, but it also means the expansion should integrate into existing save files without requiring a second open world to explore.
