According to the plot of the DLC, the main character, traveling through time, finds himself in the future of Edo (Edo 1651, Keian era), where the world is threatened by a new conspiracy associated with the Spirit Stones, as well as an enemy who has a strong dislike for the shogunate.
The add-on will include:
- new region - Edo 1651 (Keian era);
- weapons Hoko & Shield (Hoko and Shield) and Ninja Hoko & Shield (Ninja Hoko and Shield);
- new enemies, including the one-eyed sword master Yagyu Jubei;
- Enlightened One's Journey difficulty mode, which surpasses Shogun's Path in difficulty;
- unique battles for valuable scrolls, customizable using the “Scrolls of a Hundred Demon Worlds”;

The add-on is included in the Season Pass along with another DLC - “Bloody Rebellion”, which is scheduled for release before the end of February 2027.
