The spotlight fell on the single-player survival mode Most Wanted / Sword Guest Tale, which is being added to the PlayStation 5 action RPG Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition. The mode incorporates roguelike elements: players take on bounty contracts, defeat enemies to earn perks, and unlock additional playable characters. Alongside Atsu, the protagonist of the main story, characters such as Oyuki and Nagato are playable. The new footage also confirmed that Jin Sakai, the protagonist of the previous game Ghost of Tsushima, will appear as a playable character. Jin fights using four stances and excels at striking enemy weaknesses. Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition releases on October 1. Players who already own the standard version can purchase the Complete Edition Upgrade for 1,480 yen. Sucker Punch Productions developed the game, which first launched for PS5 in October 2025.","whyItMatters":"The inclusion of Jin Sakai as a playable character in a roguelike survival mode marks a direct crossover between the two games in the series, expanding the franchise's roster beyond its new protagonist Atsu and linking the Ghost of Yotei narrative to its predecessor.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe State of Play footage centered on two pieces of new content bundled into the Complete Edition: the survival mode Most Wanted / Sword Guest Tale and a separate story called Echoes of Sekigahara / Sekigahara Longing Tale.
