Three multiplayer modes

Ghost of Yōtei: Legends features three distinct multiplayer modes, each offering a different type of cooperative challenge.

Survival

In Survival mode, up to four players can form a team to defend against increasingly powerful enemy waves across four different maps.

Players must capture and hold key areas on the map. When an area is secured, the team can activate a Blessing to gain advantages in battle. However, losing control of a zone may trigger a Curse that puts the team at a disadvantage.

Story

Story is a two-player co-op mission mode. It includes a total of 12 missions where players must coordinate their abilities and tactics to overcome enemies, environmental challenges, and various encounters.

Each mission encourages tight cooperation to handle different situations, creating a more tactical and teamwork-focused experience.

Incursion

After completing each set of three Story missions, players unlock Incursion. These are large-scale assault missions designed for four players.

In Incursion, the team launches an attack on the fortress of a member of the Yōtei Six. Each mission ends with a boss battle against massive supernatural creatures such as The Spider, The Oni, The Kitsune, or The Snake.
