Just revealed in State of Play, Jin Sakai will be one of our playable characters in Ghost of Yōtei: Most Wanted! We are so excited to have the hero of Ghost of Tsushima back for this new mode, complete with all four of his signature stances. Play Video In case you missed our announcement last month, Ghost of Yōtei: Most Wanted is a brand new single-player combat survival mode that’s included in Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition. Most Wanted is our spin on a roguelike. You’ll choose from four playable characters and accept bounties with escalating difficulty. As you complete runs, you’ll earn perks and upgrades to build out your character, becoming more powerful as you go. It was important to us to make Most Wanted feel like an extension of Ghost of Yōtei’s core combat systems. We want playing through runs to take the familiar weapons and systems you’re used to and turn them into a fresh experience that lets you experiment with characters and builds to find the loadout that works best for you.

To start a run, you’ll select a bounty from the bounty board. Each one features a different member of the Yōtei Six, but to get to them you’ll have to take on waves of enemies and minibosses. As you finish each wave, you’ll unlock perks that help you create a powerful build to eventually take on the final boss of the bounty you’ve selected. Bounties can be replayed at increasing difficulty levels, all culminating in the hardest bounty against Lord Saito himself. You’ll also earn Mon as you play, which you can spend outside of runs to unlock new techniques, weapon upgrades, charms, and character unlocks. Plus, any cosmetics you earn through playing Most Wanted will also be unlocked in the main game, so you can wear them during Atsu’s original quest for vengeance, or as you take on the new story expansion in Ghost of Yōtei: Echoes of Sekigahara. Once you’ve unlocked all four characters, you can select between them. Each character will start with a katana, as well as their own additional unique weapons, abilities, Ultimates, and Kill Streaks. We encourage you to try them all as each one brings their own different approach to taking down the enemies standing in your way. Your default starting character will be Atsu, who uses dual katana as well as two Ghost Tools: Metsubushi (Blinding Powder) and a Blind Bomb. Atsu’s Ultimate is “Call of the Pack,” which allows her to summon two wolves to take down nearby enemies, and her Kill Streak is Onryō’s Howl, which will terrify all nearby enemies and force one to flee. You’ll also be able to play as Oyuki, who fights with the kusarigama, kunai, and the tanegashima (rifle). Oyuki’s Ultimate is “Shadow Killer,” which unleashes smoke to allow her to quickly assassinate two nearby enemies. Her Kill Streak is Shadow Shinobi, which summons a Nine Tails ally to fight alongside her (and execute their own assassinations) for a limited time. The next playable character is Nagato, who uses the yari (spear), tanzutsu (pistol), yumi (long bow), and hankyu (short bow). His Ultimate is “Gambler’s Mark,” which targets two enemies and fires a guaranteed headshot, and his Kill Streak is Blast Arrow, which refills his Concentration and grants an explosive arrow. Finally, Jin Sakai is our fourth playable character. For Jin, our animation and character art teams worked hard to take his Ghost of Tsushima model and keep it faithful while also applying upgrades for Ghost of Yōtei. Jin can use his katana with all four of the original stances from Ghost of Tsushima, helping to exploit enemy weaknesses. He also starts with a Sticky Bomb and hankyu. Jin’s Ultimate is the “Dance of Wrath” skill from Ghost of Tsushima, which targets multiple enemies and disarms them, and his Kill Streak is, of course, Ghost Stance, which allows him to terrify the enemies around him and kill a limited amount of them in a single hit. Beyond selecting the character you want to play as, the real way to create your unique build in Ghost of Yōtei: Most Wanted is by selecting perks. As you progress through a run, you’ll frequently select between new perks including weapon mastery, gear loadouts, summons, parries, survivability, and more. These are the cornerstone of crafting the perfect build and lead to some of the most exciting surprises as you find the challenge or unexpected value that comes from mixing and matching perks. Play Video In addition to our Ghost of Yōtei: Most Wanted trailer and Jin Sakai reveal, we also released a new look at Ghost of Yōtei: Echoes of Sekigahara in State of Play Japan today. Echoes of Sekigahara is split between two periods of Atsu’s life: her time on the mainland in the massive Battle of Sekigahara, and the present day. In Sekigahara, you’ll learn about Atsu’s history with Nagato, a key figure from her past who fought alongside her. In the present, Nagato has arrived in Ezo and is wanted by the Vipers, outlaws loyal to the Snake left leaderless after his death. The Vipers are a group of vicious poachers who have taken over Ashoro Foothills, a previously unseen area of Ezo that was once teeming with wildlife and has now been left devastated. Atsu must reluctantly team up with Nagato to find a close ally who’s been taken from her by the Vipers. In Ashoro Foothills, she’ll find new enemy types, new heavy weapons to wield, new mythic tales and abilities, new armor sets and cosmetics, and much more.

Hi everyone! I’m Stu Tilley from Firesprite, and I’m thrilled to say it: Until Dawn 2 launches on PS5 on January 28, 2027. Get ready, because every choice you make is going to matter. Will you guide all the team of fake ghost hunting Youtubers “Dead True” (plus their plucky chicken companion!) safely off Akishima Island? Or will the horrors claim a few… or even all… as you face the chilling horrors of this beautiful yet deadly paradise? Story crafted with AdHoc Studio, creators of Dispatch We’ve partnered with our friends at AdHoc Studio – the brilliant minds behind the acclaimed Dispatch – so you can expect a deeply layered story packed with rich characters, razor-sharp dialogue, fraught relationships, tough decisions, and yes… more than a few gruesome deaths. Every choice, every interaction can ripple with dramatic consequences. Play Video Watch the pre-order trailer Check out our new trailer: you’ll see the Dead True crew investigating Blackwood Sanitorium, shooting an episode about the tragic events that unfolded 12 years ago. Izzy (Sarah Catherine Hook), the team’s new intern, uncovers something she never expected, before upending their plans in chilling fashion. Later, at HorrorCon in Sydney, they meet Yoona (Gia Kim), a survivor of a terrifying supernatural attack—she pulls down her collar to reveal a dark, necrotic scar. Her warning sets the cast on a journey to a remote South Pacific island, abandoned since a luxury resort’s mysterious shutdown in the ’70s. But this island hides secrets, centuries old and hungry for vengeance. And Dead True are walking right into it. It’s your choices that will shape each outcome. In the trailer, Owen (Dacre Montgomery) – Dead True’s cocky star – faces a crossroads: should he follow the signal to help his missing friend Nate (Spence Moore II), or take a detour across a rickety bridge to investigate a strangely lively bar? Could leaving Nate’s path lead to important clues that might help? Or does leaving Nate make him vulnerable to whatever it is that lurks in the shadows?
