SEGA announced that it will open its first ever official store inside the Bailian ZX shopping mall in Shanghai, China on May 1, 2025.

The pop-up store that was set up two months ago will eventually be making a comeback. Only, it will become a renewed permanent establishment inside of Bailian ZX. This shall give mallgoers an immersive in-store experience curated by SEGA and ATLUS.

The store shall feature original local merchandise, a game demo section, and a host of upcoming events. Moreover, there shall be SEGA-themed content, designed with local flair.

This is also SEGA’s way of making its content more accessible to fans around the world. It could also mean that more SEGA physical stores are on their way in more locations.

China is an interesting location to open the first SEGA official store. According to the World Economic Forum, the Asian economic powerhouse ranks first in terms of estimated video games revenue.

Naturally, Japan remains its most vital market by default, but key markets like the United States and countries in Europe are likewise of importance.

In terms of digital game distribution, among SEGA’s biggest markets are Asia, North America, and Europe.

Ghost of Yotei gets a story expansion in October

The Complete Edition comes with the expansion and a roguelike mode.

Published

on

Ghost of Yotei is a classic RPG experience set in the same universe as its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima. In my opinion, Atsu’s journey of revenge feels a lot more fun than Jin’s battle to save his homeland. If you’re in the same boat, Ghost of Yotei is coming back on October 1 with brand-new content.

Without delving too much into spoiler territory, Ghost of Yotei has a conclusive ending. Rather than shoehorning a forced epilogue, Echoes of Sekigahara, the title of the upcoming story expansion, explores Atsu’s past.

As with Tsushima’s expansion, Echoes of Sekigahara features a new map with new enemies, weapons, and collectibles. It will be set in two different time periods.

Besides the story expansion, the upcoming update also has a new mode called Most Wanted, which Sucker Punch Production describes as their “spin on a roguelike.” The mode explores Atsu’s experience as a headhunter, feeding her with bounties and earnable perks.

The two new content expansions will come with in the upcoming Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition. The new edition, coming on October 1, will also come with the co-op Legends mode. It also has a few perks and customization options. The edition will sell for US$ 70.

If you already have the base edition, you can grab an upgrade for only US$ 15. If you don’t want to pay for the upgrade, the game is still getting a few minor tweaks.
