The creative minds behind Ghost of Yotei, Nate Fox and Jason Connell, recently addressed one of the most burning questions among fans: will the beloved Legends multiplayer mode make a comeback in this highly anticipated sequel? While Sucker Punch has been generous with details about the game's content, the multiplayer aspect remains shrouded in mystery.

Originally introduced as a surprise addition to Ghost of Tsushima, the Legends mode quickly became a fan favorite. This cooperative multiplayer experience allowed four players to join forces, each embodying unique classes inspired by Japanese folklore, to take on challenging missions against waves of enemies. Its success has naturally led to speculation about its return in Ghost of Yotei.

In a recent interview, Fox and Connell were directly questioned about the potential return of Legends. While Fox expressed satisfaction with how Legends was received in Ghost of Tsushima, he emphasized that the team's current priority is completing the main game for its October release. This response leaves the door open for a possible post-launch addition but confirms that multiplayer won't be a focus at launch.

This approach isn't without precedent. The original Ghost of Tsushima saw significant updates and expansions to its Legends mode post-launch, including the introduction of the Rivals mode in the Director's Cut. This history suggests that while Ghost of Yotei may launch without multiplayer, there's potential for it to be added later, much to the delight of fans.

Beyond the multiplayer discussion, Ghost of Yotei promises to build upon its predecessor's strengths with an enriched open-world experience. Players will step into the shoes of Atsu, a lone warrior on a quest for vengeance, who can utilize new gameplay mechanics like the 'Pack of Wolves' feature, allowing for dynamic NPC companionships and deeper narrative exploration.
