What to know
- Miike Mode changes the camera and multiplies the effects of gore and mud during combat.
- Enable Miike Mode by visiting the in-game Settings menu, under the Display or Visuals tab.
- The mode can be toggled on or off at any time during single-player gameplay (not available in multiplayer).
- For best results, ensure “Show Blood” is also enabled in the Display settings.
Miike Mode is designed for those seeking a rawer, more visceral Ghost of Yotei experience, reminiscent of Takashi Miike’s intense samurai films. It tweaks camera distance and visual effects to deliver combat with maximum impact.
What Miike Mode does to gameplay
When Miike Mode is activated, the in-game camera zooms in closely during combat, emphasizing fights with heavier blood and mud splatter effects. This leads to duels and skirmishes that feel more intimate and intense. The tradeoff is a reduced peripheral view, making large battles feel tenser since off-screen enemies may approach undetected.
| Mode | Main trait | Best use case |
|---|---|---|
| Kurosawa | Black-and-white visuals, old-film audio, classic cinematic feel | Dramatic / story-heavy sections |
| Miike | Tighter, visceral combat camera + more gore / mud | Intense battles and immersive action |
| Watanabe | Swaps soundtrack to lo-fi beats during exploration/combat | Relaxed exploration or when you want a different audio vibe |
