Sucker Punch confirmed Ghost of Yōtei Legends launches March 10 as a free update for all Yōtei players. It’s a cooperative multiplayer mode with distinct character classes, three mission types, earnable cosmetics and a Raid coming later. If it’s anything like what Tsushima’s Legends mode became, I’m sure there’s fun to be had.

Ghost of Yōtei is big, bloody, and beautiful - refining Tsushima’s formula rather than reinventing it. Exploration is richer, stealth more precise, the world obviously gorgeous. It’s polished and fun enough to keep me hooked through to the end - indeed, there’s a lot to love - but the familiar openworld rhythms are definitely feeling a little weary. It’s a strong execution, but tinged with a melancholy sense that the formula is wearing thin.

A visually spectacular and bloody journey through 13th Century Japan. Complimented by great characters, passable story and, more than anything, combat so satisfying you’ll ignore its standard openworld stuff.
