Ghostwire Tokyo 1.005 Patch Notes
Obon Commemoration
New Emote and Costume
Ghostwire: Tokyo is a game about spirits (vanished presences): rescuing them from evil, honoring them, and acknowledging and accepting their passing. Obon is a time to commemorate oneโs ancestors, whose spirits are believed to temporarily return to this world during this time of year.
Obon traditions vary throughout Japan, but the most common are holding summer festivals in schoolyards or parks, with everyone dancing the Bon Odori together to welcome the spirits of their ancestors. In some areas, an event called โToro-nagashiโ is also held, in which lanterns are floated down a river or into the sea to mourn the souls of the departed. Areas inspired by the event are featured in the game, and the Tokyo Bon dance is available as an emote in Photo Mode.
Onย Wednesday, August 3 at 11 AM ET / 3 PM UTC (August 4, 12 AM JST), an all-new festive Obon costume and new Photo Mode emote will automatically unlock for all players:
- Jinbei Costume โ A casual Kimono-style jacket and short pants, this outfit is perfect whether youโre enjoying a summer festival or sitting on the porch eating watermelon.
- Japanese Sparklers Emote โ It isnโt a festival without fireworks! With this new emote, Akito crouches down and enjoys the sparkle of a senko hanabi. (Hanabi literally means โfire flower.โ).
