Ghost of Yotei Legends launches next month

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. Sure enough, as part of the company’s latest State of Play showcase, the release date for Ghost of Yotei Legends has now been officially announced.

Making the announcement during the latest State of Play, Sucker Punch Productions confirmed that the much-anticipated Legends Mode is coming to Ghost of Yotei in a little under a month: On the 10th of March.

Landing alongside update 1.5, this new Legends Mode will launch with 3 main mission types (two of which have been revealed):

• Survival (4-player): “Take down waves of increasingly difficult enemies on one of four maps” while fighting to control territory to activate blessings
• Story (2-player): 12 missions where after every 3 you must take on an incursion (large-scale four-player assault on a stronghold belonging to a member of the Yōtei Six)

Just like Tsushima, Yotei’s Legends mode will continue to receive updates post-launch, with the team promising that a Raid will go live in April, “putting your team to the ultimate test, where you can expect to take on the Dragon and Lord Saito himself.”

Across all modes, players will be able to take on the role of 4 different classes: Samurai, Archer, Mercenary, or Shinobi; each of which “excel in a different one of Ghost of Yōtei’s weapon and combat systems” while earning some unique armour.

Ghost of Tsushima Legends was a welcome surprise when the free update arrived back for the original game. With the team having now learned lessons from their first take on the formula, here’s to hoping that Ghost of Yotei Legends will have even greater levels of depth and replayability. We won’t have to wait long to find out. Full details of Ghost of Yotei’s Legend mode can be found HERE.
