Ghost of Yōtei is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is a standalone sequel to the 2020 game Ghost of Tsushima. It is set to release for PlayStation 5 in 2025.[1]
Synopsis
Ghost of Yōtei centers around the theme of "underdog vengeance". The story is set in 1603 in Hokkaido, Japan. Players will take control of Atsu (Erika Ishii), a female warrior who adopts the persona of "The Ghost".[2][3] Developers have claimed that players will have more control over Atsu's narrative and choices compared to Ghost of Tsushima.[2][4]
Development
Ghost of Yōtei's setting was inspired by Sucker Punch Productions's multiple visits to northern Japan. Creative director Jason Connell was struck by the beauty of Mount Yōtei, staring at it for hours. The development team recorded nature sounds at Shiretoko National Park. Creative director Nate Fox wanted a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima to maintain its core elements: "transporting the player to the romance and beauty of feudal Japan".[2]
The game was revealed during PlayStation's State of Play presentation on September 24, 2024.[1]
