In October 2023, 505 Games showcased the Season Pass for Ghostrunner 2, which included various skins, themes, and the first DLC. They will also release new game modes in the future before creating the DLC. Speaking of DLC, One More Level plans on releasing the continuation in September 2024, which is disappointing for the fans.

In the meantime, players will get support through various new swords, gloves, and bike skins. With the nomination of the title at The Game Awards, further content could be revealed there on December 7, 2023.
