Sucker Punch Productions is releasing a free patch for Ghost of Yōtei on November 24, introducing New Game Plus mode along with new cosmetics, difficulty options, and Photo Mode enhancements. The update allows players to replay the story with all earned gear and skills after completing the main campaign. Additional features include replayable post-game content and improved accessibility.
Update Overview
The free patch 1.100.000 for Ghost of Yōtei, a PlayStation 5 exclusive from Sucker Punch Productions, launches on November 24, 2025. This update addresses player requests by adding New Game Plus, enabling a replay of protagonist Atsu's quest in the feudal Japan-inspired world of Ezo with retained weapons, armors, abilities, and skills from the first playthrough.
New Game Plus Details
New Game Plus unlocks automatically upon finishing the main story. It introduces harder difficulty options to match players' enhanced capabilities and two new PlayStation Trophies. A new in-game currency, Ghost Flowers, becomes available for exchange with a dedicated vendor, unlocking over 30 cosmetics such as new armor sets and weapon dyes, plus 10 new charms. Existing armor and weapons gain an additional upgrade tier for further customization and power boosts.
Additional Features
Beyond New Game Plus, the patch adds replayable post-game content, including main story missions and side quests, with a new stat tracking display to monitor progress. Photo Mode receives upgrades like shutter speed controls, a composition grid, and new filters for better screenshot capture. Accessibility improvements include directional button remapping and other unspecified options. Bug fixes are also included to refine the experience.
The game, which launched in October 2025, has sold 3.3 million copies in its first month. Sucker Punch expressed gratitude for the support and teased the co-op multiplayer mode, Ghost of Yōtei Legends, for 2026.
"We're happy to close out the year with these new features and excited to see what everyone creates in Photo Mode," said Andrew Goldfarb, Senior Communications Manager at Sucker Punch Productions.
