It'll be part of the version 1.1 patch, which is also adding new features to the main game via New Game Plus.
You can see a trailer outlining everything coming in this update below.
There are four classes in Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, consisting of the Samurai, Hunter, Ronin and Assassin. Each has different advantages and disadvantages and can be equipped with mixed kinds of gear. There are two-player co-op missions and four-player survival modes to undertake, with a Raid coming after launch.
New Game Plus in Ghost of Tsushima is adding a new horse as well as new armor dyes that can only be purchased with special flowers, found only in New Game Plus and perfect for customizing the full list of armor in the game. Players will also be able to set up armor loadouts, meaning it's easy to swap out your gear and prepare for different kinds of missions on the fly.
Ghost of Tsushima released earlier this year and sold 2.4 million copies in its first three days. In our review, we noted that it felt like a solid samurai adventure.
Becoming the Ghost is exceptionally fun
Ghost of Tsushima is a great samurai game, but its open-world could use some work. The combat and Jin's personal journey to becoming the Ghost are the real hooks here, and Sucker Punch thankfully nails those aspects.
