Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer
Coming on October 2, 2025
PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions have officially announced the release date for Ghost of Tsushima's sequel, Ghost of Yōtei. On April 23, a captivating trailer titled "The Onryō’s List" was released, providing a glimpse into the game's narrative and showcasing thrilling gameplay. The trailer concludes with the much-anticipated release date: October 2, 2025.
Ghost of Yōtei follows the gripping tale of Atsu, set in the heart of Ezo (present-day Hokkaido), as she seeks vengeance against the notorious Yōtei Six. This group of outlaws, responsible for the murder of her family and leaving her for dead, includes The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito. Atsu's mission is to track down and confront each of these villains.
As a standalone sequel set 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yōtei builds on its predecessor's success with new weapons, mechanics, and features, promising an enriched gaming experience.
Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way
Ghost of Yōtei offers players the freedom to pursue the Yōtei Six in any order, allowing for a personalized path of revenge. Sucker Punch detailed this innovative approach on PlayStation.blog on April 23, offering insights into Atsu's journey and the game's expansive world.
The sequel introduces an evolved open-world exploration system, providing more freedom and variety than ever before. In addition to hunting the Yōtei Six, players can engage in various activities within the new setting of Ezo. "Atsu can also track other dangerous targets and claim bounties, or seek out weapon sensei to learn new skills," the blog post explains.
Fans will enjoy familiar activities from Ghost of Tsushima, such as the beloved "Guiding Wind" feature, alongside new mechanics like the ability to build campfires anywhere in the open world. The developers emphasize the importance of player choice and freedom in the vast landscapes of Ezo, with more details to be shared in the coming months.
