Ghost of Yōtei surprised fans at this year’s Gamescom by announcing a free DLC coming in 2026. Read on to learn more about the Legends DLC and its confirmed multiplayer modes.
Ghost of Yōtei: Legends Surprises Fans at Gamescom
Two-Player and Four-Player Modes Confirmed
Ghost of Yōtei’s Legends DLC was just revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live, much to the surprise of fans as the brief announcement came at the very end of the main game’s brand-new "Song of Vengeance" trailer.
While the reveal itself offered little information, Sony and Sucker Punch have since posted a more detailed announcement via PlayStation Blog. Two multiplayer modes are confirmed to be included in the new DLC: a story-driven two-player campaign and a four-player survival mode.
Both experiences will be adding a twist to the game, as Legends will be trading in Ghost of Yōtei’s grounded setting for one that is "fantastical [and] supernatural." The four-player mode, specifically, will have gamers playing as one of four character classes as they take on a "demonic, giant" version of the Yōtei Six as well as a myriad of new enemies.
Building Off of Ghost of Tsushima: Legends
Fans of the first game may recall that Ghost of Tsushima had its own free Legends DLC, which added a two-player story, squad-based raids, a 2v2 format, and a four-player survival mode.
Ghost of Tsushima: Legends was received extremely well, so Ghost of Yōtei following its predecessor’s footsteps has unsurprisingly sparked excitement among fans. Even well before this announcement, fans had already been asking for a Ghost of Yōtei: Legends DLC mere months after the sequel was first announced.
"I will be devastated if there isn't a Legends mode or at least news of one on the way," said a hopeful redditor. "It was an incredible addition and one of the best co-op modes in years."
Ghost of Yōtei launches October 2, 2025, exclusively on PlayStation 5, with the Legends DLC arriving in 2026. For all the latest news on Ghost of Yotei, check out our article below!
