As a die-hard fan who has spent countless hours mastering the art of swordsmanship and stealth in the beautiful world of Tsushima, the announcement of Ghost of Yotei has filled me with an indescribable mix of excitement and nostalgia. The prospect of returning to feudal Japan, this time exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Hokkaido, is akin to being invited back to my ancestral home after years away, only to find it even more enchanting than I remembered.
At last, the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the highly praised open-world game, Ghost of Tsushima, is on the horizon. Dubbed Ghost of Yotei, it’s slated for release in 2025, with Sucker Punch once again taking the helm as principal developers.
During the Sony State of Play on September 24th, Ghost of Yotei was unveiled as a shocking revelation. This upcoming title aims to entice fans who love the series by recreating the stunning feudal Japan landscape depicted in Tsushima, featuring verdant fields and snow-capped mountain ranges. The game will be set in an entirely fresh region.
In our new story, titled “Ghost of Yotei,” we find ourselves nearly four centuries removed from the events portrayed in “Ghost of Tsushima.” This earlier tale chronicled the thrilling escapades of the renowned samurai Jin Sakai, who was on a mission to liberate Tsushima Island from a Mongolian invasion that occurred in 1274.
As suggested by the trailer, the game Yotei is slated for a setting in 1603, focusing on the adventure of Atsu. Players will delve into the area surrounding Mount Yotei, a well-known landmark situated in Hokkaido, Japan’s second largest island and its northernmost.
It’s possible that devotees of Ghost of Tsushima may find this less exciting, given that a significant aspect of the game’s allure lies in the narrative of Jin Sakai, who engaged in battles against the Mongolians. His journey was unique as he had to bend his samurai principles, resorting to unconventional methods to liberate his people.
In a post on the PlayStation blog, Andrew Goldfarb, who works as a Communications Manager at Sucker Punch, shared that they delved deeper than just Jin Sakai’s tale and the island of Tsushima, focusing instead on the concept of the Ghost.
The trailer unveiled stunning vistas of locations players might explore and teased the types of weapons our new hero, Atsu, will use as he progresses through the narrative, although it didn’t delve too deeply into gameplay details.
It’s important to note that Sucker Punch specifically designed Ghost of Yotei for the PlayStation 5, so if you were hoping for a stunning PS4 port, unfortunately, that may not be the case.
