The recently released Echoes of Sekigahara paid DLC for Ghost of Tsushima is accessible only after players have made significant progress in the main campaign. To unlock the expansion's first mission, a series of prerequisites must be met, effectively gating the content until roughly 10 hours into the game's narrative.
Required Story Missions
Before the Echoes of Sekigahara questline can be initiated, players must complete four specific main story missions. These are:
- The Old Inn
- The Way of Dual Katana
- The Tale of the Oni
- The Kitsune's Fate
Once these missions are finished, players will need to interact with Kojiro, the bounty broker, to add bounty quests to their log. The DLC's storyline officially begins when players access a bounty board and accept a bounty for "Nagato the Handsome." This bounty serves as the entry point into the expansion's narrative.
Additional Content and Editions
The Echoes of Sekigahara expansion is part of a suite of new additions to Ghost of Tsushima. Alongside the story-driven DLC, a new roguelite mode called "Most Wanted" has been introduced. Furthermore, a free update is available for all players, which includes a screensaver-style mode, enhanced accessibility options, and a transmogrification system allowing players to alter the appearance of their gear while maintaining its stats.
For new players, the story DLC and the Most Wanted mode are included in the $70 Complete Edition of Ghost of Tsushima. Existing owners of the base game can purchase these new additions for $15. GameSpot's review praised the game, noting that it builds upon its predecessor with a compelling story, engaging exploration, and satisfying combat, all while emphasizing the unique characteristics of its new protagonist.
