Sony details Ghost of Yotei Legends’ many improvements over its predecessor

As with the first game before it, Sucker Punch Productions promised that Ghost of Yotei would be receiving a free update in the new year focused on introducing the game’s co-op Legends Mode. With the update officially going live today, the team at Sucker Punch have now shared “everything you need to know about the online co-op multiplayer mode.”

Taking to the PlayStation blog, Legends Lead Designer Darren Bridges expanded on everything which we learned previously regarding Ghost of Yotei’s upcoming mode.

According to Bridges, the Legends mode began production at the same time as the single player campaign – meaning it was in development in one form or another since 2020/21.

Tying the game mode into Yotei’s narrative, the team revealed that Legends is a “retelling” of Atsu’s fight against the Yotei Six “way later; years, even centuries after the fact” – which explains why players will be fighting big demons.

In terms of gameplay, Sucker Punch confirmed that the mode will offer 4 difficulty options: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum; each of which will feature “different enemies, different challenges” while earning bonus XP for your trouble.

One aspect in which Yotei is stepping up its game is in the visual customisation department, with Legends featuring “really wild stuff” to unlock fashion-wise. Another new element sees the mode’s lobby greatly expanded from a simple menu in the previous game to now being a fully fledged space featuring PvP options, mini games and much more.

All-in-all, it seems like Ghost of Yotei Legends is set to be an improvement across the board, taking a promising side mode from the previous game and expanding upon it in all aspects. It will be interesting to see how wacky the skins are when Ghost of Yotei Legends arrives later today, Full details on this new mode can be found HERE.
