With enough time now passed, we sat back down with Lead Designer Darren Bridges to delve into the creative processes behind the Raid. Spoilers follow, so if you’ve yet to level up and tackle the Raid, then bookmark this article until you’ve returned to the lobby flush with success. The full interview will be available to listen to later today on the Official PlayStation Podcast.

“One of our original thoughts was: it’s like an escape room where people are trying to kill you.”

The Raid’s elevator pitch

“One of our original thoughts was: it’s like an escape room where people are trying to kill you. It’s four player, hardcore, challenging content. And there are puzzles that you need to work together as a team to complete. And, of course, there are enemies who are also trying to kill you, so it often will involve a lot of learning, coordinating, and performing as a team in order to succeed.”

Learnings from Ghost of Tsushima Legends and its Raid

“[Ghost of Tsushima Legends] was the first time we’d done anything like that as a studio. It had a lot of successes. It brought that level of challenge and learning and team coordination requirements. But it was also kind of unbalanced in the pacing and the length of it. A lot of players weren’t able to play it. The first time I played the second chapter of the Raid with my friends, I think it took six hours. So you had to have a group of four who were committed and could set out that amount of time. So it was epic, but it was also kind of inaccessible in that way.

You know that you’re serving multiple audiences. When you’re building content, there are people who want really hardcore and those who don’t have that much time. They may want to play, but they may not be able to set aside that much time. So we wanted to enable those same experiences of challenge, but make it easier for players to step in. If they had to step away, they could rejoin.

So this time in Ghost of Yōtei Legends, the missions are paced a little more consistently and, if we’ve enabled it so that if you replay it, you can play just the boss. So if your team has made it through the puzzles, but then you’re struggling with the boss, run out of time, someone has to leave… you can come straight back to the boss.”

“I love hearing in a co-op game where there’s no text on screen naming something, how every team comes up with their own language for describing or expressing it.”

Raid missions built to prepare you for what’s to come

“When we were building the Raid, we wanted to introduce elements [on the mission to the boss encounter] that would prepare you for what you’re going to face in the fight.

“So in The Dragon fight, you’ll see the giant Bo-Hiya missiles dropping, so you get a little bit of an introduction to that. And then Saito’s giant sword attack that is mostly undodgeable. If you hit your ultimate, you can avoid it, but it’s just kind of damage that you have to take. And so we introduce that ahead of his fight. We want them to make sense and build off the things that you learned throughout the rest of the experience.

I would also say I love hearing in a co-op game where there’s no text on screen naming something, how every team comes up with their own language for describing or expressing it. Every time when we watch streams there’s a natural language evolution that happens in-game as people are trying to describe this thing and communicate to each other.”

Adding new threats to throw players off their game…

“In The Dragon fight, there’s a moment where bombs start dropping on individual players, and you have to run around. In Legends in general, you can’t hurt other players, but suddenly there’s bombs dropping on you. So wherever you go, you’re creating a danger area. So as everyone’s panicking, you see someone running towards you, and if you cross paths, you’re both going to get blown up by the bombs that are falling. So you have to coordinate to either avoid the giant bombs or destroy them.” 

…and discovering surprising ways to counter those dangers

“If you are a Shinobi and vanish, the bombs stop tracking you, stop dropping. And if you can get near your teammates and cause them all to vanish, it’ll skip that entire bomb drop sequence. That was actually something that we didn’t plan for. But when we were testing it, we saw it, and we’re like, oh, that’s actually really awesome.”

“We wanted to create moments which we call ‘Group Jump Rope’, where everyone has to do something together as a team, and other moments where one person can be the hero and carry and support the rest of the team.”

Built to work together…

“A lot of our combat team play Raids in different games. Especially boss-type Raids. So they’re excited to express that design in the Yōtei universe and with the Yōtei combat mechanics.

“One of my favorite parts is the Shadow Saito guys that attack you. I mean, I hate them. But the fun part is it’s a great moment for players to practice calling things out for each other. If one player sees the boss getting ready to summon you can call it out, and then everyone else can prepare and try to react in time. We wanted to create moments which we call ‘Group Jump Rope’, where everyone has to do something together as a team, and other moments where one person can be the hero and carry and support the rest of the team. So you want blends of those throughout the battle.”

…and Builds to work together

“We wanted to have elements that would reward or encourage different build types, or build craft and people bringing their ingenuity and theory to it. We made sure to place a Gear Station right at the beginning of the [Saito] boss fight. So anytime you die as a team, you’ll start back right at the Gear Station. You can tweak your build. And for that fight, you’ll want some perfect parry buffs, to help you against the shadow warriors. Then you need some way to deal with his health, reduce the damage from his big explosion attacks, either, you know, healing, or, you know, some other way. So we wanted the Team Build to impact the experience.”

“Those teams have a different mindset, even in how they play. It feels like building an obstacle course with your local team and then throwing Olympians at it.” 

Watching the first team of players complete the Raid

“When you’re making something, you’re always like ‘no one’s going to beat that, this is going to be tough, this is going to slow people down’. And sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t.

“The world’s first team beat Saito, I think, in like two minutes. And they had spent, I think, an hour or so leading up to that point. And so I thought, oh, you know, I was thinking, proportionally, it’ll probably be another half hour or something… and they just headshot him. They found the most kind of efficient and optimal way to defeat him. And that team, those teams, have a different mindset, even in how they play. It feels like building an obstacle course with your local team and then throwing Olympians at it.

But it’s awesome. You never know exactly what will happen, but that’s part of what makes it exciting. And then a lot of the other teams that we watched took more of what we would have expected, two to three hours, to learn and repeat and practice and defeat that boss. So there’s always a variety.

“There’s not many times in game development where you actually get to release content and see how people react. It’s especially fun with Raid type content, where teams have prepared leading up to that point. It’s really cool when they’re streaming with a Raid team, they will often have their mics on and broadcasting audio. You get a window into what they’re thinking as they’re playing and that communication… you get to see all of it evolving as they’re playing. It’s a very clear window into their full experience. So as developers, that’s really fun to see.”

A Ghosts’ tale concluded 

“The Raid update was our last major planned update for Legends. It finishes the story of the Yōtei Six in that mode. We’ve loved to see players playing it, continue to play it and enjoy it. It’s been great.”

You can enjoy the Raid and the entire elections multiplayer mode with Ghost of Yōtei, available now on PlayStation 5.

Play Video

The Soltari Enforcer, Arjun Devraj, played by actor Rahul Kohli, is deployed alongside a rescue crew, to Carcosa to secure a lost mining colony, though he may be harboring ulterior motives. The story of Saros takes Housemarque in a new bold direction, and it’s all propped on the shoulders of the actors behind these performances.

Finding Carcosa: Becoming Arjun is a behind-the-scenes documentary that explores how Arjun came to life. Taking you onto the performance capture stage, the film features exclusive footage and new interviews with Kohli and the development team, detailing exactly what it took for Arjun to find his voice.

“As both a filmmaker and a lifelong gamer, I’ve always been fascinated by what makes a video game character truly feel authentic. Really pop out of the screen. With this episode, I wanted to not only peel back the curtain to share a glimpse of the technical side of performance capture, but also shine some light on the human process behind it.” says Paul J. Vogel, the director of the three-part Finding Carcosa documentary series.

The tech and freedom of performance capture

“I hated it,” laughs Rahul when asked about his first day on the performance capture stage. “It’s a very strange feeling. You spend most of your time worrying how you look in this lycra wet suit, wishing you’d gone to the gym. It takes an hour or two before you stop feeling silly. That’s the strange thing. It starts tech heavy – calibrating your fingers. And then once you’ve done that, it felt like an empty stage with actors and a director, and a script. Most actors are comfortable with doing a lot with very little. From day one in a rehearsal space, you are working without props, without stage furniture. Everything else, [the tech], has just gone.”

Rahul references advice he received from Troy Baker. “He said it was the purest form of acting you’ll ever do. And he was right. I’m not playing to the camera… it’s just about me and [the other actors].”

Finding the characters’ by focusing on story-driven scenes first

The studio made sure to organise the shoot order so the cast could settle into the character’s roles, and find their respective voices. “We started with a lot more of the dream elements,” explains Louden. “That way they didn’t need to know exactly who they were. They could be more dreamlike and from there go into the more realistic, naturalistic performance.”

Gamer-turned-game protagonist

“He’s [Rahul Kolhi] a gamer as well, so he knows what he is looking for a videogame character,” reminisces senior narrative designer Khalil Osaimi. “On set he had so many notes, even with the script. It was really interesting to see him collaborate with Greg, because it was like two kids with action figures [laughs]. They created a fantastic spectacle.

“That collaboration was how to add these little details for players, and bring this level of authenticity whether players are watching the performance capture or hearing the voice over… it feels real.”

How a traffic jam helped Rahul find Arjun’s voice

“I had to catch a flight, and Housemarque wouldn’t have access to me for six months,” says Kolhi. “And they needed the trailer. And in order for me to make my flight I had to record on the other side of town in LA crazy early. And I’m stuck in traffic. And I was so worked up and angry at seven, eight in the morning. We recorded the teaser trailer. And that voice that came out was angrier, more intense than anything we’d done or explored previously. And Greg and I were immediately like… ‘wait, that’s him. That’s who we’ve been looking for’…. being angry and not being good enough to hide it… that was where Arjun was really born.”

“Rahul’s anecdote about finding the true voice of Arjun is the perfect summary of how sometimes the creative nature of storytelling can be unpredictable. It’s funny because it is so completely unglamorous. Stuck in traffic, already late for a recording session and up against the clock for a departing flight. It shows how a character can come alive from research, rehearsal and collaboration with your director… but sometimes all it really takes is one very bad commute,” Paul continues

It was not only amazing to see Rahul’s dedication to find Arjun, but also how much it meant to him on a personal level. You can feel how Saros is a milestone in his career that he might have not even dared to dream of some years ago. As both an actor and an avid gamer, he understood the assignment and felt the weight in bringing to life a character that hopefully would resonate with gamers across the world.

Thank you so much Rahul and the whole cast, and a thank you to all our players as well.

Saros is available now on PS5.

As new allies join the fray, an even greater crisis looms. The Traveler will return to Sumeru to confront a formidable enemy who threatens to plunge the nation into disaster.

Meanwhile, a very different story unfolds in Inazuma. A whimsical fairy-tale adventure filled with games and fantasy is about to begin, as Klee, Sayu, and newcomer Prune embark on a wondrous journey fueled by boundless imagination.

A Guiding Light, A Keen Blade

As one of the last surviving angels, Nicole Reeyn has borne witness to the passage of ages, amassing knowledge that bridges the past and present. Known within the Hexenzirkel by the codename “N,” she is a quiet guide who lights the way for the lost and silently lends aid to those in need. Now, this steadfast guide joins your party as a 5-star Pyro Catalyst wielder, enhancing her allies’ ATK while shielding them in battle.

In combat, Nicole’s Elemental Skill creates a shield that absorbs incoming damage and deals AoE Pyro DMG, while also granting all nearby party members an ATK Bonus based on her own ATK. This effect is further enhanced when the active character is a Hexerei character, granting an additional ATK increase. Nicole can also gain a temporary ATK Bonus of her own when nearby active party members deal Elemental DMG.

Her Elemental Burst deals AoE Pyro DMG and grants the active character an Arcane Projection. This projection performs Coordinated Attacks at fixed intervals, dealing AoE Elemental DMG based on the active character’s Element. When the active character is a Hexerei character, the Arcane Projection takes on a unique form and deals increased DMG.

Outside of combat, Nicole’s Charged Attack can summon nearby Seelie to guide the way, much like a Treasure Compass. Meanwhile, at the Meeting Point: The Witch’s Garden, Nicole’s Witch’s Lodge has opened its doors, inviting Travelers to discover hidden treasures and endless surprises.

If light brings warmth and guidance, then the blade answers with cold precision and a razor-sharp edge. Few knights possess Lohen’s relentless will to fight until victory is won. As Vice Captain of the Knights of Favonius’ Fifth Company, Lohen never backs down, charging into the fray without hesitation. Now, as a 5-star Cryo Polearm wielder, he brings this unstoppable edge to your party, wielding a unique combat style forged on the battlefield. More about his story and the Knights of Favonius’ past will be revealed in his Story Quest.

In combat, Lohen unleashes devastating Cryo DMG by making use of two unique resources: “Joy” and “Will to Win.” His Elemental Skill allows him to enter a special state, during which his Normal and Charged Attacks generate Joy when they hit enemies, while DMG dealt by nearby party members generates Will to Win. By consuming Joy, Lohen can trigger a special Elemental Skill; by consuming Will to Win, he can further increase this special Elemental Skill’s DMG and enhance his Elemental Burst DMG. After unlocking the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect, his Normal and Charged Attacks also have a chance to deal increased DMG based on the amount of Will to Win accumulated.

In addition, Prune, the 4-star Anemo Catalyst wielder known as the “Witch Hunter,” will make her debut in this update. She provides sustained off-field DMG while increasing her teammates’ overall damage output. In Version “Luna VII” Event Wishes, the first half will feature the debuts of Nicole and Prune, alongside Durin’s rerun, while the second half will introduce Lohen and welcome back Mavuika.

Return to Sumeru: Reunion and Reckoning

This journey has carried us far, yet some mysteries remain unresolved. Now, the path leads back to Sumeru, where a crisis gathers, answers await, and an enemy bearing a familiar face steps into view.

A mysterious enemy bearing an uncanny resemblance to The Doctor has emerged. This new Boss fights with cunning and cruelty, teleporting across the battlefield and summoning a powerful force to halt your advance. Even getting close will be a challenge.

Yet Sumeru will not face this crisis alone. Trusted allies from across the land are rallying to its aid, and Nicole stands ready to offer her guidance whenever it is needed.

To help Travelers keep track of this epic storyline, a new “Guiding Notes” feature has been added to the Quest Overview interface, allowing you to review key details and character backgrounds at any time as you progress through the quest. Archon Quests will also now include save prompts, making it easier to experience the story at your own pace. Complete the quest to claim a limited-time reward of Primogems ×560, along with Nicole’s Ascension Materials.

Gathering with the Little Witches

Saving the world may be important, but the magic hidden within the little witches’ secret base is just as worthy of pursuit. Head to Inazuma and join this whimsical gathering of little witches! Together with Klee, Sayu, Qiqi, Yaoyao, and their new friend Prune, set off on a playful, magical adventure full of mischief and wonder.

This limited-time event features a variety of fun mini-games, each brimming with cheerful charm. First up is “Dodoco’s Bomb-Rally Ruckus,” where Travelers will use different field effects and whimsical gadgets to help Klee pass Jumpy Dumpty to all her Dodoco companions. You can also join “Gena’s Great Escape,” dodging obstacles as you race toward the finish line while collecting as many Onigiri as possible. In addition, Yuegui will need your guidance to overcome obstacles, collect radishes, and reunite with her scattered companions. Finally, cap off the festivities with an exhilarating combat performance: In the “Fantasy Realm Performance” prepared by Prune, Travelers will complete training challenges to build up momentum and deliver a spectacular battle showcase.

Participate in these events to claim a range of generous rewards, including the exclusive weapon appearance “Super Awesome Magic Key.”

More Fun and Updates

Version “Luna VII” also brings a wealth of updates and surprises. Travelers can obtain Echo Cosmetics for Navia and Wanderer, while Repertoire of Myriad Melodies welcomes the new album “Hexerei: Ballad of Whimsical Polyphony.” Score Themes for Durin and Varka will also be available for exchange in Treasure of Myriad Melodies.

Miliastra Wonderland also receives a wide range of updates and improvements in this version. New events will roll out in succession, offering Primogems and other rewards to participants. A unique sports festival is also in the works, introducing new forms of friendly competition. In addition, your Manekin can now perform a variety of actions across Teyvat, allowing you to capture memorable moments along the way.

We hope you’re excited for everything Version “Luna VII” has in store. See you in Teyvat on May 20, Travelers!
