Ghost of Yôtei is the Tsushima sequel you’ve been waiting for

The next Japanese epic from Ghost of Tsushima developer Sucker Punch has been revealed. Ghost of Yôtei launching for PS5 in 2025.

Jumping ahead a couple hundred years to the region around Mount Yôtei and the year 1603, there’s a real Western vibe to some of the scenery and imagery that they picked for this trailer.

This game will naturally cast you as a new Ghost, named Atsu, who will travel around these lands, exploring grasslands, snowy tundras and coming across plenty of dangers along the way.

Ghost of Tsushima was a major hit for PlayStation, adding to its growing stable of prestige AAA titles. Leading up to the game’s release there were concerns that its homage to samurai cinema would be too niche or that it would ape other open world games too closely. However, spurred on by the lockdown-induced gaming fever many of us fell victim to in the summer of 2020, Ghost of Tsushima would crush expectations to become on the PS4’s must-have exclusives. Having since launched on PS5 alongside the Iki Island DLC, and after debuting its superb multiplayer expansion, it’s become an all-time great for the console.

Looking back on out original Ghost of Tsushima review, Aran said, “Ghost of Tsushima is an artistic triumph, capturing a real cinematic feel through its visuals, immersive world and soundtrack. However, Jin is a serviceable main character and he and his journey to save Tsushima is often overshadowed by secondary characters and smaller, more personal stories found in the side quests. Throw in some formulaic missions and an awkward user interface, and Ghost of Tsushima is at times more style than substance.”
