Ghost of Yotei Is the Follow-Up to Ghost of Tsushima Built for PS5

A trailer for the sequel to the lauded Ghost of Tsushima was revealed Tuesday at the Sony State of Play showcase. The new game, Ghost of Yotei, is coming out sometime in 2025 for PS5.

The trailer depicts new hero Atsu, another presumed ronin carving her way through the countryside with her own Ghost mask. The game is set in the areas around Mount Yotei in the remote Ezo area of northern Japan (around present-day Hokkaido) in 1603 — 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima.

Given its remoteness from the rule of Japan, expect fewer organized samurai clans and more grasslands, snowy tundras and unexpected dangers, as studio Sucker Punch’s official PlayStation blog post explains.

Unlike Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei is built for PS5, giving Sucker Punch’s developers the opportunity to add massive sight lines, skies painted with stars and auroras, and better environmental effects of wind on the grass and vegetation. The studio promised new mechanics, gameplay improvements and more new weapons with the new setting. 

Sucker Punch promised to share more in the months ahead about Atsu’s story and who she will meet along her bloody journey.
