PlayStation opened its recent State of Play presentation with confirmation that Ghost of Yotei Legends will launch on March 10, 2026. Developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the multiplayer expansion will arrive as a free DLC for existing owners of Ghost of Yotei.
According to PlayStation, Ghost of Yotei has surpassed the sales performance of its predecessor within the same launch window. The new expansion appears to respond directly to player demand for additional content, particularly in the multiplayer space. Much like the studio’s previous approach to online modes, this release is designed as a substantial cooperative experience rather than a limited add-on.
Expanding the Multiplayer Experience
Ghost of Yotei Legends centers on a supernatural conflict involving the demonic Yotei Six. Among the known threats are figures such as the Spider, the Oni, the Kitsune, and the Snake. Players will be able to team up in online co-op with up to four participants to take on these enemies.
While detailed gameplay systems have not yet been outlined, the expansion will introduce four playable classes at launch. The structure suggests a focus on coordinated team play, class-based roles, and mission-driven progression. More information about class abilities, gear systems, and mission types is expected ahead of release.
Building on the Ghost of Tsushima Formula
The expansion clearly draws inspiration from Ghost of Tsushima Legends, the multiplayer component of Ghost of Tsushima. That mode offered four distinct classes and combined two-player story missions with four-player survival challenges. It also included progression systems tied to equipment upgrades and new combat techniques.
Ghost of Tsushima Legends was well received for successfully translating the core combat systems into a cooperative format while introducing myth-inspired storytelling. Based on early details, Ghost of Yotei Legends appears positioned to build on that framework with new characters, enemies, and missions rooted in the Yotei setting.
What to Expect Next
Although a trailer has been shown, Sucker Punch has not yet shared a full gameplay breakdown. With the March 2026 launch approaching, additional previews and gameplay reveals are likely in the coming weeks.
As PlayStation continues expanding its first-party titles with post-launch multiplayer support, Ghost of Yotei Legends signals an ongoing investment in cooperative experiences. The expansion aims to extend the lifecycle of Ghost of Yotei while giving players a new way to engage with its world.
