Ghost of Yotei: Legends is about to drop an incredibly tough raid on April 10, but it won’t launch with matchmaking and will require you to either play with three other friends or “coordinate with other community members”.
Although Ghost of Yotei didn’t end up coming close to 2025’s stacked list of Game of the Year candidates, it was still a great adventure that a ton of players loved. Sucker Punch hasn’t let Yotei’s momentum go, either, as it recently added a successor to the first game’s beloved Legends multiplayer mode to the sequel.
Legends seems to have been a hit with fans so far, but Sucker Punch has barely scratched the surface of its plans for the mode. It recently confirmed that Legends is getting its first raid on April 10, which will let players go up against the Dragon and Lord Saito for a “high-end” challenge that requires four players. As it turns out, three of those players will likely be friends since matchmaking won’t exist at launch.
Ghost Of Yotei Legends’ Upcoming Raid Won’t Let You Matchmake At Launch
You’ll Need To Either Find Three Skilled Friends Or Join The Ghost Discord
As reported by GamesRadar+, Sucker Punch recently took to Twitter to announce that matchmaking won’t be available for the raid when it launches next week, despite it requiring four players to complete. Sucker Punch says that matchmaking is being added to the mode “in a couple weeks after launch”, but it has some advice for anyone who can’t wait until then.
Since the raid is “high-level and challenging content’, Sucker Punch encourages players to either invite their friends to take part of “join the Ghost fan Discord” to team up with other like-minded players who need partners. Although I’m sure we’d all like to think we could find three other people to take part in the raid if we had to, it’s a bit of a shame that matchmaking isn’t considered.
It doesn’t help that the raid is purposefully made to be a big challenge for the most experienced Legends players. If Yotei’s multiplayer was as big a deal as other online games, it might not be a big deal, but Legends is mostly made up of a smaller pool of very dedicated players. It might be worth waiting on matchmaking for this one, but at least we know it’s coming at some point.
