Sucker Punch's blockbuster sequel Ghost of Yotei is now bigger and more replayable. The latest update brings a number of fresh challenges, the ability to replay others as much as you like, some lovely new unlockables, and several more qualify-of-life improvements to make a return trip to Ezo all the more appealing.
In the patch, now rolled out, Ghost of Yotei New Game plus is one of the central attractions, letting you restart the narrative with all the equipment and abilities you already earned. On top of that, all 26 duels and 22 Yotei Six camps can be replayed, with tracking for your stats, letting you redo them for better runs to your heart's content.

Watch On
It's a robust post-game update, offering a variety of reasons to jump back in with Atsu. While many players seem happy, there are a few other requests for ways to improve and tighten up the game.
"I wish they'd just let you transmog," one Redditor states. "Sometimes I just want to wear something different without having to swap out the stats and abilities that come with the gear. I'm surprised it's not in the game when it's such a standard part of these kinds of games."
Some would like aspects of Ghost of Tsushima to be included. "My biggest complaint about the game is that loadouts isn't the same as Tsushima's system. I'd like the option at least to have a loadout for every armor set," another commenter adds.
And the lack of any touch-ups to the horses has left some wanting, too. "I was really hoping for an intermediate speed for the horse. The horse either walks at a glacial pace or gallops at the speed of light. Would really like a canter setting," a third Reddit user states.
