Have you ever wanted to play Ghost of Yotei with friends? If so, you are in luck.
Not long ago, Sucker Punch revealed a new trailer, and a release date, for their new online co-op mode, Ghost of Yotei: Legends.
Ghost of Yotei will receive its Legends mode as part of a free update on March 10th.
Read on for more about it:
Legends will launch with three mission types. In Survival, you can team up with up to three other players to take down waves of increasingly difficult enemies on one of four maps. You’ll fight to control territory on each map. While you control a location, you can activate a Blessing, offering you an advantage in battle. But if you lose control, you’ll unleash a Curse, putting your team at a disadvantage. Each map will have its own unique Curses and Blessings.
In Story, you’ll team up with another player to tackle a series of 12 missions. After completing each set of three Story missions, you’ll unlock an Incursion, which is a large-scale four-player assault on a stronghold belonging to a member of the Yōtei Six. Each Incursion will culminate in a boss fight versus a giant, supernatural version of the Spider, the Oni, the Kitsune, or the Snake.
As for the other members of the Yōtei Six, in April we’ll release a Raid putting your team to the ultimate test, where you can expect to take on the Dragon and Lord Saito himself.
In Ghost of Yōtei Legends, you can play as one of four classes: Samurai, Archer, Mercenary, or Shinobi. While any class can use a katana and ranged weapon, they also each excel in a different one of Ghost of Yōtei’s weapon and combat systems, and can each earn their own unique armor cosmetics as you complete feats through gameplay. The Samurai can wield the ōdachi and has access to the widest range of weapon types, the Archer can use the yari (spear) as well as carry an additional ranged weapon, the Mercenary has access to dual katana with a variety of utility-focused abilities, and the Shinobi can use the kusarigama, as well as a suite of stealth-focused skills.
Beyond the loot you earn as you level up, you can also earn additional Legendary weapons and gear as you tackle higher difficulty challenges. Of course, Photo Mode will also return so you can set up action shots with your teammates while you’re making your way to the highest levels. And if you need to unwind between missions, our new Legends lobby will let you practice combat and archery, challenge your friends to a game of Zeni Hajiki, or see if you can set the high score in Bamboo Strike.
