Ghost of Yōtei: Legends players received fantastic news last week when Sucker Punch Productions confirmed an April 10th date for its first raid. After weeks of smacking the rest of the Yōtei Six around, you can finally take the first to Lord Saito, but if you don’t have a pre-made team, the wait may be even longer.
Sucker Punch recently clarified that raid matchmaking won’t be available at launch. Instead, it will become available “in a couple of weeks.” Players are encouraged to join the game’s official Discord to meet with others.
On the one hand, it makes sense if the development team wants to encourage like-minded players to group up. The chances of finding those who communicate and are patient are significantly higher than random matchmaking. Then again, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends had matchmaking for its raids, and after the mechanics were figured out, it didn’t prove all that difficult for randoms to get on the same page.
Of course, it could also be a technical issue, and more time is required. Regardless, if you want what could be the best loot (and cosmetics) in the mode, it may be worth toughing out. Stay tuned for more updates on when matchmaking will become available, and check out our review of Legends in the meantime.
