Sucker Punch Productions has confirmed that Ghost of Yōtei will receive a free update on November 24, adding New Game Plus and several new quality-of-life improvements. The studio says the patch is available to all players and is designed to expand replayability while introducing new customization and accessibility features.
New Game Plus Expands Replay Options
New Game Plus becomes available once players finish the main story and offers the chance to replay Atsu’s journey with all previously earned equipment, abilities, and upgrades carried over. This includes every armor set, weapon, and skill unlocked during the initial playthrough. The mode also brings new difficulty options and two additional Trophies meant to give returning players new challenges to pursue.
The update introduces Ghost Flowers, a new currency that can be traded with a specialized vendor. Players can use Ghost Flowers to unlock more than 30 new cosmetic items, including armor sets, weapon dyes, and a set of new charms. Existing armor and weapons also gain an extra tier of upgrades, giving players more ways to fine-tune their preferred playstyle.
Updates Enhance the Core Experience
Alongside New Game Plus, the patch improves several core systems. Post-game missions can be replayed after the main story concludes, supported by a new stats display that tracks progress in greater detail. The update also adds expanded accessibility options, including directional button remapping.
Photo Mode receives several upgrades as well, such as adjustable shutter speed, a composition grid, and additional filters. Sucker Punch says these changes are meant to support players who want to capture more detailed scenic shots or experiment with different visual styles.
Looking Ahead to Future Content
Sucker Punch thanked players for their support since the game’s launch and confirmed that this update will be the final major addition for the year. The studio also reiterated plans to release Ghost of Yōtei Legends in 2026, hinting at broader long-term support that complements community engagement across gaming and web3-adjacent audiences.
