Sucker Punch celebrates the first anniversary of Ghost of Yotei with a double content package priced at 15 euros, featuring the open-world story expansion Echoes of Sekigahara and the action-focused roguelite mode Outlaw. Announced on August 12, the DLC explores Atsu's past and her relationship with an archer named Nagato.
Echoes of Sekigahara takes place in the Ashoro foothills, introducing heavy weapons with limited durability, new enemy arrow mechanics requiring extraction, bolas, and an arrow-catching skill. The reviewer notes that the combat is the best in the franchise, praised for inventive boss patterns and crowd control, though criticized slightly for lacking a memorable antagonist.
The Ashoro region offers around 8 hours of varied gameplay, featuring compact open-world activities, village restoration, and wildlife quests dedicated to Makami wolves and other animals. The narrative is praised for its tenderness and nuance, though some reviewers noted the absence of a standout villain.
Additionally, the Outlaw roguelite mode allows players to choose perks between enemy waves, earn permanent upgrades, and unlock playable characters including Atsu, Oyuki, Nagato, and Jin Sakai from Ghost of Tsushima, delivering strong replay value and diverse combat modifiers.
