Ghost of Yotei NewGame+ mode arrives next week

Prior to the game’s official release, the team at Sucker Punch Productions revealed that they plan to support Ghost of Yotei in a similar manner to the previous Ghost of Yotei. While fans will have to wait until next year to get their hands on the promised multiplayer Legends Mode, a major free update is set to arrive early next week – adding a NewGame+ option, extra cosmetics and more.

Making the official announcement on the PlayStation Blog, the Senior Communications Manager at Sucker Punch Productions ‘Andrew Goldfarb’ wrote:

“On November 24, a free patch for all Ghost of Yōtei players will introduce New Game Plus, allowing you to replay Atsu’s quest for vengeance from the beginning with everything you earned throughout the campaign. Yes, that means it’s time to bring a gun to a sword fight, with all of the armors, abilities, and weapons from your first playthrough available from the start of the game.“

Beyond being able to play through the story with all of your upgrades unlocked, the NewGame+ mode introduces quite a lot in the way of new content, including by not limited to:

• A new harder difficulty
• Two additional Trophies to earn (most likely tied to the new difficulty and NG+)
• New Ghost Flower currency
  • Used to obtain additional armour sets, weapon dyes and charms
• The ability to “earn an additional tier of upgrades for your existing armor sets and weapons”

Outside of NewGame+, the update also introduces a number of quality-of.-life improvements, such as:

• Being able to replay post-game content with new player stats
• More accessibility options
• Photo mode expansion with shutter speed, composition grid and more

Ghost of Yotei has had a strong launch so far, matching that of Tsushima despite being available on fewer systems. With this upcoming update arriving so soon (and the multiplayer Legends mode slated for early next year), Atsu still has a ways to go before completing her journey.
