Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer

Launching October 2, 2025

PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions have officially set the release date for Ghost of Yōtei, the sequel to the acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima. A new trailer, "The Onryō’s List," was unveiled on April 23, offering fans a glimpse into the game's rich narrative and dynamic gameplay. Mark your calendars for October 2, 2025, as this is when you can embark on this epic adventure.

Ghost of Yōtei immerses players in the story of Atsu, set in the heart of Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido), as she seeks vengeance against the notorious Yōtei Six—the group responsible for her family's demise. Atsu's quest involves tracking down each member of the Yōtei Six: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito.

As a standalone sequel occurring 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yōtei builds on its predecessor's success with new weapons, mechanics, and features, promising an enhanced gaming experience.

Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way

One of the standout features of Ghost of Yōtei is the freedom it offers players in hunting down the Yōtei Six. You can choose the order in which you pursue these outlaws, tailoring your path of revenge. Sucker Punch shared insights into the game's design on PlayStation.blog on April 23, highlighting Atsu's journey and the expansive gameplay possibilities in Ezo.

The game introduces an evolved open-world exploration mechanic, providing players with more freedom and variety than ever before. Beyond the main quest, Atsu can engage in various activities such as tracking down other dangerous targets, claiming bounties, and learning new skills from weapon sensei.

Fans will also enjoy familiar elements from the original game, such as the beloved "Guiding Wind" feature. Additionally, a new campfire mechanic allows players to set up camp anywhere in the open world, enhancing the sense of freedom and immersion. The developers are keen on providing players with an unparalleled experience in the vast landscapes of Ezo.
