The upcoming free patch for Ghost of Yotei introduces New Game Plus, allowing players to restart Atsu’s journey with all previously earned gear, weapons, and abilities. This mode brings tougher difficulty options, two new trophies, and a new currency called Ghost Flowers, which can be exchanged for more than thirty fresh cosmetics, additional armor and weapon dyes, and ten new charms. Players will also gain access to an extra tier of upgrades for existing equipment, giving returning adventurers deeper customization and progression choices.
Alongside New Game Plus, the update offers improvements for the base game. Players will be able to replay content in the post-game and view a dedicated stats display. The patch also expands accessibility features with new button remapping options and introduces enhanced Photo Mode tools, including shutter speed adjustments, a composition grid, and new filters. These additions aim to enrich the experience for both longtime players and newcomers exploring the northern frontier of Ezo.
