New Game+ Hits Ghost of Yotei Next Week With Brutal Difficulties, Expanded Accessibility, and More
Ghost Flowers debuts as the new currency, unleashing a fresh wave of unlockables.
Six weeks after Ghost of Yotei landed, Sucker Punch is tossing you the exact excuse to dive back in: New Game Plus hits this month, and it is not just a quick toggle. It is a real update with new difficulty options, new collectibles, even a new currency. If you already rolled credits, clear a night.
When it drops
New Game Plus goes live on November 24.
What you get in the update
- New Game Plus: Finish the main story once, then restart the narrative with all your gear and abilities for Atsu intact.
- Higher difficulties: Extra challenge levels to actually put your weapons, armor, and skills through their paces.
- New trophies: A couple more for the collectors and completionists.
- Ghost Flowers currency: A fresh currency tied to its own pool of items and collectibles you can buy over time.
- More upgrades: Existing equipment gets an additional upgrade tier so your favorite loadouts can keep scaling.
- Replayable encounters: Post-game fights can be replayed, now with added stat tracking to measure how you did.
- Accessibility additions: New options including control remapping.
Why this matters if you finished already
New Game Plus lets you run Atsu's revenge tour again from the start, this time with your full toolkit, and Mount Yotei is just as fun to pick clean when you are overpowered. Pair that with harder modes and new gear progression and it is an actual reason to return, not just a checkbox.
The tease for what is next
"We can't wait to introduce you to Ghost of Yotei Legends in 2026."
That is Sucker Punch pointing to a big co-op multiplayer mode on the horizon. The original note frames it as the next big update, but the date they name is 2026, so do not expect it tomorrow.
Quick refresher on the game
Ghost of Yotei, the follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima, launched in early October to strong sales and lots of praise. One review even called it one of the first PS5 games that actually feels like it is pushing the hardware. So yes, the appetite for a victory lap via New Game Plus is very real.
