PlayStation Studios and third-party partners revealed major updates during the recent State of Play and State of Play Japan broadcasts, including a release date for Until Dawn 2 and the introduction of Jin Sakai as a playable character in Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition, according to PlayStation Blog.
Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition Adds Jin Sakai and Rogue-Like Mode
Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition launches on Oct. 2 in Hong Kong, bringing a new combat survival mode called “Endless Pursuit” to the platform, according to PlayStation Blog. Jin Sakai joins the roster as a playable character equipped with the four stances from Ghost of Tsushima. The “Endless Pursuit” mode uses rogue-like mechanics where players pick one of four characters—Atsu, Suke, Nagao, or Jin Sakai—to face escalating bounties while unlocking buffs and gear upgrades. The complete edition also packages a story expansion titled “String of Sekigahara,” detailing the conflict between Atsu and Nagao during the Battle of Sekigahara and their alliance in Ezo against the Viper Gang, as reported by PlayStation Blog.
Players who already own the base game can secure a digital upgrade for HK$108, while newcomers can buy the complete digital version for HK$568, according to PlayStation Blog. The base version of Ghost of Yōtei stands as PlayStation’s best-selling first-party title of the year. By June, global sales reached roughly 4.8 million units, outpacing the launch trajectory of Ghost of Tsushima during the same timeframe, according to PlayStation Blog.
Grand Theft Auto VI Limited Edition DualSense Controllers Confirmed
Two limited-edition Grand Theft Auto VI DualSense wireless controllers in black and white designs will debut on Nov. 19 in Hong Kong for a suggested retail price of HK$639, according to PlayStation Blog. Grand Theft Auto VI initially targeted a 2025 release before moving to May 2026 and finally settling on Nov. 19, per PlayStation Blog. Rockstar reiterated that no further delays are planned, keeping the game on track to arrive alongside the custom hardware, according to PlayStation Blog.
Pro Tip: Existing owners of Ghost of Yōtei can save money by purchasing the digital upgrade path rather than buying the complete package at full price.
