Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer

Ghost of Yōtei, the sequel to the acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima, is set to hit the PlayStation 5 on October 2, 2025. Sucker Punch Productions and PlayStation made this announcement on April 23, alongside the release of a captivating new trailer titled "The Onryō’s List". This trailer not only offers a glimpse into the game's narrative but also showcases thrilling gameplay elements, culminating in the announcement of the release date.

Set in the heart of Ezo (present-day Hokkaido), Ghost of Yōtei follows the journey of Atsu, who is driven by vengeance against the Yōtei Six—a notorious group of outlaws responsible for the murder of her family. Atsu's mission is to hunt down each member of the group: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito.

As a standalone sequel set 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yōtei expands on its predecessor with new weapons, mechanics, and features, promising an enhanced gaming experience.

Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way

In Ghost of Yōtei, players have the freedom to pursue the Yōtei Six in any order they choose, allowing for a personalized path of revenge. Sucker Punch Productions elaborated on this and other game features in a detailed post on PlayStation.blog on April 23, providing insights into Atsu’s quest and the expansive world of Ezo.

The game introduces an evolved open-world exploration system, offering players greater freedom and variety than ever before. Beyond the main storyline, players can engage in various activities, such as tracking down other dangerous targets to claim bounties or seeking out weapon sensei to master new skills.

The open world of Ezo also brings back beloved features from the original game, including the "Guiding Wind," while introducing new mechanics like the ability to build campfires anywhere. The developers are keen on emphasizing the freedom to explore and engage with the vast landscape of Ezo, promising more exciting details in the months leading up to the release.
