Lost Judgment Kaito Files DLC launches March 28, $29.99 price

Lost Judgment’s new expansion, The Kaito Files, drops on 28 March for $29.99 on PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox platforms, and is free for owners of the Ultimate edition or season pass [2]. The DLC puts sidekick Masaharu Kaito in the lead, adding “Primal Focus” sensory detective mechanics and two new combat styles, expanding the game’s narrative across four chapters.

New gameplay and story focus

The expansion promotes Kaito from muscle to protagonist, giving him “sensory‑based” Primal Focus that lets him sniff out clues with his nose, eyes, and ears [2]. Players can switch between an aggressive Bruiser style and a defensive Tank style, each designed to tackle fresh bosses and tougher foes. The narrative follows Kaito’s personal quest to locate his former lover Mikiko, who has vanished, and a teenager claiming to be their son, while uncovering a criminal syndicate tied to Kamurocho’s underworld [3].

Distribution and access details

The DLC is available as a standalone purchase for $29.99, but owners of the Lost Judgment Ultimate edition or those who bought the season pass receive it at no extra cost [2]. It supports offline play, remote play, and vibration feedback on PS5, and can be shared across consoles via the “Console Sharing and Offline Play” setting [3]. The product is published by SEGA Europe Ltd and includes English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish language options [3].
