    Ghost of Yōtei coming in 2025 – PlayStation.Blog

    Vaseline Posted on

    Today we’re excited to announce Ghost of Yōtei, the latest game from Sucker Punch and the introduction of our new hero, Atsu.

    When we set out to create a new Ghost game, we wanted to keep the core principles of Ghost of Tsushima: you play as a wandering warrior in feudal Japan, you have the freedom to explore the world at your own pace, and you want to emphasize the beauty of the world.

    We also wanted to keep innovating. To create something fresh but familiar, we looked beyond Jin Sakai’s story and the island of Tsushima, and shifted our focus to the idea of ​​the Ghost. At Sucker Punch, we love origin stories, and we wanted to explore what it could mean to have a new hero wearing a Ghost mask, and a new legend to tell. This led us to Ghost of Yōtei: a new protagonist, a new story to unfold, and a new region of Japan to explore.

    While we won’t be getting into the details of the story today, we can reveal that Atsu’s journey takes place in 1603, over 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima. Our story takes place in the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei, a towering peak in the heart of Ezo, a region of Japan known today as Hokkaido. In 1603, this area was outside of Japan’s control, and was filled with vast grasslands, snowy tundra, and unexpected dangers. It’s a stark departure from the organized samurai clans that once lived on in Tsushima, and it’s the setting for an original story we can’t wait to tell.

    This is also the first Sucker Punch game to be built from the ground up for PlayStation 5, and we’re excited to build on the visual foundation we laid in Ghost of Tsushima by making the world even more realistic. We have huge sightlines that let you see far across the environment, all-new skies filled with sparkling stars and aurora borealis, even more believable wind movement on grass and vegetation, and more improvements that we’ll share in the future. Our new setting also gives us the opportunity to introduce new mechanics, gameplay improvements, and even new weapons.

    Our trailer today offers a glimpse into this world, but there’s so much more to show, and we’ll have plenty more to share in the months ahead, including details about Atsu’s journey and the people (and animals) she’ll meet along the way. We’re eternally grateful for the success of Ghost of Tsushima, and we can’t wait for you all to experience Ghost of Yōtei in 2025.
