After a year of waiting, Bethesda and Tango Gameworks have officially released Ghostwire: Tokyo on Xbox Series S|X and Xbox GamePass! With this release, we not only celebrate the one year anniversary of the games initial release, we also get to celebrate the release of the “Spider’s Thread” Update!

This update of the game adds a ton to the already sprawling world of Ghostwire: Tokyo. New areas, new story cutscenes, quality-of-life improvements,  Spider’s Thread mode, and more will be added for PlayStation, PC, and Xbox users on April 12th. As I said in my recent “Xbox Fans Should Be Excited for Ghostwire: Tokyo” article, This is by far the biggest update/DLC the game has seen yet and will breathe new life into the game for current players.

Now for Xbox Players, I will say this is going to be one hell of a ride for you all from start to finish. Everything about Ghostwire: Tokyo bleeds action, horror, and thrilling story telling like never before! Below, you can watch the launch trailer for the game and check the source info on the Spider’s Thread update!

Test Your Skill in an All-New Game Mode

Take on a whole new kind of challenge in ‘The Spider’s Thread,’ a new mode separate from the main game and selectable from the main menu. Players must navigate a 30-stage gauntlet assembled from over 130 handcrafted levels with one simple goal: get to the end. It won’t be easy, but making your way through levels and clearing challenges will help you earn crucial upgrades to become stronger.

But beware: if you’re defeated during a run, you’ll have to start back from the beginning. However, this time you’ll have a portion of your upgrades retained. Descend the Spider’s Thread, unlock more skills, level up and conquer this game mode for skilled Ghostwire fans!

Uncover More in the Main Story

The Ghostwire: Tokyo Spider’s Thread update adds new locations to visit in the ghost-riddled streets of supernatural Tokyo, including the eerie Middle School area. There’s something ominous in session inside those classrooms, but for those who really don’t like spooky games, the new “Reduced Horror Effects” setting will replace certain psychic effects with adorable SHIIBUYA HACHI stickers!

In addition to new missions, the update features extended story cutscenes, granting players more character interaction and insight into the plot as they play through Akito and KK’s journey to stop the menacing Hannya.

Boost Your Skills to Battle New Foes

To stop the worlds of the living and the supernatural from colliding, players will need to face the malevolent, otherworldly Visitors seeping into Tokyo’s streets. With the Ghostwire: Tokyo Spider’s Thread update, Akito’s arsenal of skills is bolstered with new combat skills like the Counter-Attack to follow up a successful block, Quick Dodging to evade enemy attacks and the Charge Rush, an evolution of your Ethereal Weaving technique that allows you to augment your Palm Strike into an elementally charged melee strike! Players can also make use of new Tengu Wind and Spiritual Fountain talismans, allowing them to drop a whirlwind to reach new heights or a spring to replenish their Ether reserves when munitions run low.
All these new tools in your toolbox will come in handy, as new threats have also emerged in Tokyo. Stay alert for malicious new Visitors prowling the alleys such as the fast-moving Retribution, invisible Silent Gaze or the high-flying Sanguine Dancer. With Akito’s new skills and KK at your side, however, there’s no challenge you won’t overcome to save Akito’s family and all of Tokyo!
Expanded Photo Mode & More!
That’s not all the exciting content to unravel in the Ghostwire: Tokyo Spider’s Thread update! Capture a souvenir pic with an expanded Photo Mode feature, including stamps to overlay on your images. Use in-game Meika to unlock figures at capsule machines scattered throughout Tokyo to unlock game models that you can even use in Photo Mode for supernatural selfies.
