Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition Developer Interview Covers Atsu's Romance

Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition launched on October 1 for PS5, with a major update delivering two new modes for owners. A developer interview with Sucker Punch Productions art director Joanna Wang and lead systems designer Parker Hamilton explains why the expansion explores protagonist Atsu's romantic history, how it reconnects her to her past, and what the survival mode's roguelike structure is meant to accomplish. Jin Sakai also appears as a playable character.
Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition arrived on October 1 for PS5, and a patch on October 2 added two modes for owners: the story expansion "Echoes of Sekigahara" and the combat survival mode "Most Wanted." Sucker Punch's art director Joanna Wang and lead systems designer Parker Hamilton sit down for an interview to explain the thinking behind both, including why an avenger's story includes romance and how the expansion draws on the Battle of Sekigahara. Jin Sakai from Ghost of Tsushima returns as a playable character.
