Will Ghost Of Yotei Have Multiplayer?
Yes, and not just any multiplayer, but the return of that quirky, little brother to the single-player epic: Legends mode. When the news dropped, I grinned like someone catching a fox cub in Tsushima. If you have ever tried the classic Ghost of Tsushima co-op, you remember the slightly chaotic, endlessly replayable ghost stories, right? Well, Ghost of Yotei turns that up a notch. The new Legends experience isn’t tucked in at launch but will be released as free DLC in 2026, so you’ll get a shot at supernatural story missions and four-player survival matches once the dust settles from your solo campaign.
A Tale of Two Modes
Honestly, people who only play story campaigns sometimes look at multiplayer like it's a side salad nice to have, but not why they ordered the steak. But Legends in Tsushima was different; it felt more like an afterparty thrown by mischievous spirits. In Yotei, you’ll pick from four character classes and do battle against the wildest lineup yet: demonic, giant members of the Yotei Six. Some new enemies’ll make your palms sweat, and, if the last game’s community is anything to go by, at least one friend who just wants to experiment with every combo and promptly gets KO’d.
Some nights, it wasn't about who finished first; it was who got snatched by a tengu mid-mission and made everyone crack up.
What's Returning, What’s New
Here’s what I find pretty exciting: Yotei’s multiplayer takes familiar shapes but mutates them in some funky ways:
-
Two-player story missions, great for duos who want lore with their loot.
-
Four-player survival, a sweatfest if you like endless waves and teamwork (or blame games).
-
Four unique classes, and early sneak peeks suggest each will have new abilities still a bit hush-hush, but if Sucker Punch keeps the weird polish, expect surprises.
Am I worried it’ll become just another loot grind? Maybe, but Legends mode before was unpredictable enough to keep things interesting. One time, my Ronin’s revive barely saved the team from getting steamrolled by giant oni, and we all cracked up about it for days.
