Check out the latest info regarding The Spider’s Thread shared today by the studio:

DESCEND THE SPIDER’S THREAD
Found in the main menu, The Spider’s Thread tasks players to navigate a 30-stage gauntlet selected from over 120 hand-crafted levels. Some stages are straightforward, such as tackling a combat arena of Visitors, while others require a variety of other essential ghost-hunting skills to surpass like stealth and navigating Tokyo’s rooftops.

As you make your way through the increasingly intense stages and clear special challenges, you’ll earn precious Nekomata Koban to become stronger. Exchange your Koban with the friendly feline shopkeeper for crucial skill upgrades, beads and enhancements as you journey down The Spider’s Thread!

Don’t hoard your Nekoban Koban too long, as those upgrades will be essential for survival as you go from stage to stage. Should you be defeated, however, some of those upgrades you’ve earned will be retained, making you stronger for your next run.

Surmount all 30 stages in The Spider’s Thread and you’ll be rewarded with a special gauntlet inspired by the Ghostwire: Tokyo’s Shibuya 429 building. The catch? In this version, players keep going after clearing the first 30 stages, up to a whopping 429 stages in a row – a marathon run for only the most capable ghost hunters! Are you up for the challenge?

Will we see another content drop for Ghostwire Tokyo outside of today’s? Let’s hope so, and if we hear anything, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
