Sucker Punch Productions has officially announced the Ghost of Yōtei, a new game set to launch in 2025. This new chapter introduces a new protagonist, Atsu, to carry the torch of the Ghost legend.
Following the massive success of Ghost of Tsushima, the team set out to craft a fresh, yet familiar experience. This time, the story shifts from Jin Sakai’s journey to a new hero with an equally compelling narrative.
In creating Ghost of Yōtei, Sucker Punch kept the beloved elements from Ghost of Tsushima—an open-world adventure set in Feudal Japan, where players can explore at their own pace—while pushing the boundaries to create something innovative.
Moving away from Tsushima, the focus is now on the concept of the Ghost itself. This new installment invites players to discover a new origin story and forge a new legend.
A New World, A New Journey
The game is set in 1603, over three centuries after the events of Ghost of Tsushima. Atsu’s journey unfolds in the breathtaking yet treacherous lands surrounding Mount Yōtei in Ezo—modern-day Hokkaido.
In 1603, this region was untouched by the rule of Japan, making it a wild frontier filled with vast grasslands, snowy tundras, and hidden dangers. The world is starkly different from the samurai-governed island of Tsushima, offering players an entirely new landscape to explore.
Built for PlayStation 5
Ghost of Yōtei marks Sucker Punch’s first game developed exclusively for PlayStation 5, and the power of the console has enabled the team to take visuals to the next level.
Expect sweeping sightlines, dynamic skies with glowing stars and auroras, and lifelike movement from grass and trees swaying in the wind.
Every inch of the world is designed to immerse players deeper into the environment, allowing them to truly feel the weight of the journey.
New gameplay mechanics, improved combat systems, and innovative weaponry are on the horizon, making Atsu’s journey as engaging as it is breathtaking. Whether you’re battling foes or traversing the rugged wilderness, Ghost of Yōtei promises a fluid and immersive experience unlike anything before.
More to Come
The debut trailer offers just a glimpse into the world of Ghost of Yōtei, but there’s so much more to reveal. Over the coming months, the dev is expected to share more details about Atsu’s story, the characters she’ll meet, and the challenges she’ll face.
