Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer

On April 23, PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions unveiled the release date for Ghost of Yōtei, the eagerly awaited sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. A fresh trailer titled "The Onryō’s List" not only sets the stage for the game's narrative but also gives us a glimpse of the gameplay. The trailer culminates with the exciting reveal of the release date: October 2, 2025.

In Ghost of Yōtei, you'll follow Atsu on her vengeful journey through the heart of Ezo (present-day Hokkaido) as she seeks retribution against the notorious Yōtei Six. These outlaws, responsible for the death of her family, include The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and their leader, Lord Saito. Atsu's mission is to hunt them down one by one.

Set 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, this standalone sequel promises to build on its predecessor's success with new weapons, mechanics, and more, enhancing the immersive experience players have come to love.

Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way

One of the standout features of Ghost of Yōtei is the freedom it offers players in pursuing the Yōtei Six. Whether you choose to take down The Snake first or leave Lord Saito for last, the choice is yours. Sucker Punch elaborated on this and more in a detailed post on PlayStation.blog on April 23, highlighting Atsu's journey and the game's innovative approach to exploration.

The game introduces an evolved open world, providing greater freedom and variety than ever before. In addition to tracking down the outlaws, players can engage in a variety of activities, such as claiming bounties and learning new skills from weapon sensei across Ezo. The beloved "Guiding Wind" feature returns, alongside a new mechanic allowing players to build campfires anywhere in the open world, enhancing the sense of freedom and immersion in the vast landscape of Ezo.
