Take a Look at Ghost of Yōtei
Sony has confirmed a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima called Ghost of Yōtei during its State of Play presentation. The game will be coming out sometime in 2025.
The grand finale of the State of Play brought a huge surprise. Developer Sucker Punch revealed stunning new footage, complete with beautiful cinematics. As hinted by the title, this game will feature a fresh setting. It will also introduce a new hero named Atsu, stepping away from Ghost of Tsushima’s Jin Sakai.
The developer kept things pretty vague during their presentation, but a PlayStation blog gave us a bit more info afterward. The game will take place in 1603, 300 years after the events in Ghost of Tsushima. The story will unfold in the area around Mount Yōtei which is Hokkaido in modern-day. Sucker Punch calls it “a far cry from the organized samurai clans who lived in Tsushima, and it’s the setting for an original story we can’t wait to tell.”
According to the post, the developer “wanted to maintain the core pillars established in Ghost of Tsushima: playing as a wandering warrior in Feudal Japan, offering freedom to explore at your own pace, and highlighting the beauty of the world.”
“We also wanted to continue to innovate. 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 instead,” the post continues. “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 uncovering a new legend. This led us to Ghost of Yōtei: a new protagonist, a new story to unfold, and a new region of Japan to explore.”
