Ghost of Yotei ‘Legends’ multiplayer mode arrives next year

One of the biggest surprises with Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Tsushima was the addition of a free multiplayer game mode known as ‘Legends’ which released following the game’s launch in 2020. It seems the team are taking a similar route with the upcoming Ghost of Yotei – having now officially announced that the Legends mode will return in the sequel (albeit once again post-launch).

Making the announcement during Gamescom Opening Night Live, Sucker Punch / PlayStation released their new ‘Song of Vengeance’ trailer for Ghost of Yotei. Given the deep-dive we got last month, the trailer offered little in the way of new information.

That said, it concluded by teasing the return of the much-loved Legends multiplayer mode. As with the first game, Ghost of Yotei Legends is set to drop some time post-launch in 2026 – meaning at least 3 months following the game’s initial release.

As mentioned, Ghost of Tsushima Legends was also a post-launch update, arriving roughly 3 months after the game’s July 2020 release. Despite this, the co-op multiplayer mode was quite comprehensive, offering plenty to do and even featuring a raid of sorts.

Given all the general improvements coming with Ghost of Yotei, it will be highly interesting to see what Sucker Punch has in store for the returning Legends mode – and whether it will be supported for even longer than the first game.
