Paranormal forces have taken over Tokyo, bringing yokai, evil spirits, myths and urban legends to life. With nearly all the city’s population gone, survivor Akito and ghost detective KK are on the hunt to save their home from these strange new invaders.
With the free Spider’s Thread update released on April 12, Ghostwire: Tokyo has received a brand-new rogue-lite mode, more side missions, new enemies, new skills, Photo Mode enhancements and more. Now, the game is also available on Xbox Series X|S and Microsoft PC Store.
The Spider’s Thread update challenges players to navigate a 30-stage gauntlet assembled from over 130 levels with one simple goal: “Get to the end.” As they progress through the mode, they will unlock more skills and earn in-game currency to spend on upgrades.
The update also includes new areas to explore, extended story cutscenes, Photo Mode enhancements and a handful of quality-of-life fixes. But the biggest surprise is a brand-new rogue-lite game mode called “Spider’s Thread” that challenges players to navigate a 30-stage gauntlet.
This randomized gauntlet will test Akito and KK’s combat prowess and will allow them to acquire new skills and in-game currency. The gauntlet will not be easy to beat at first, but the more you play through it and the more you complete it, the better your chances of making it all the way to the end.
Akito & KK will also explore a new Middle School location in the supernatural city, which contains mysterious occult activity and a malevolent spirit known as Hananko-san. This is not the last time we’ll see the two together in Ghostwire: Tokyo, and we’re excited to have them back for more adventure in this eerie version of the city!
