The much-anticipated sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, titled Ghost of Yōtei, now has a confirmed release date. Alongside this exciting announcement, a new trailer titled "The Onryō’s List" was released, giving fans a glimpse into the game's compelling story and dynamic gameplay. Mark your calendars for October 2, 2025, when Ghost of Yōtei will launch exclusively on the PlayStation 5.
Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer
On April 23, PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions unveiled the release date for Ghost of Yōtei through the captivating "The Onryō’s List" trailer. This trailer not only revealed the release date but also provided a deep dive into the narrative and gameplay mechanics that await players.
Ghost of Yōtei continues the saga 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, centering on Atsu's quest for vengeance in the heart of Ezo (present-day Hokkaido). Her mission is to track down and eliminate the notorious Yōtei Six: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito, who brutally murdered her family and left her for dead.
Building on the success of its predecessor, Ghost of Yōtei introduces a variety of new weapons, mechanics, and features that promise to enrich the gaming experience.
Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way
One of the standout features of Ghost of Yōtei is the freedom it offers players to pursue the Yōtei Six in any order they choose, tailoring their path of revenge. Sucker Punch detailed this and more in a recent post on PlayStation.blog, outlining Atsu’s journey and the expansive open world of Ezo.
In addition to the main storyline, players can engage in various activities such as tracking dangerous targets for bounties and learning new skills from weapon sensei. The game also brings back the beloved "Guiding Wind" feature and introduces a new mechanic allowing players to build campfires anywhere in the open world, enhancing exploration and freedom within Ezo.
