Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer
Coming on October 2, 2025
PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions have revealed the release date for Ghost of Yōtei, the sequel to the critically acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima. A new trailer, titled "The Onryō’s List," was released on April 23, providing fans with a glimpse into the game's story and gameplay. The trailer culminates in the announcement of the release date: October 2, 2025.
Ghost of Yōtei follows the journey of Atsu in the region of Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido), as she seeks vengeance against the notorious Yōtei Six, the outlaws responsible for her family's demise. Her mission is to hunt down each member of the group: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito.
This standalone sequel is set 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima. Earlier this year, Sucker Punch Productions shared insights into the game's new features, which include an array of new weapons and mechanics, expanding on the foundation laid by its predecessor.
Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way
In Ghost of Yōtei, players have the freedom to pursue the Yōtei Six in any order they choose, allowing for a personalized path of revenge. Sucker Punch detailed these features on the PlayStation.blog on April 23, providing more context on Atsu’s journey and the game's mechanics.
The sequel introduces an evolved exploration system, offering players greater freedom and variety in the open world of Ezo. Beyond the main quest of hunting down the outlaws, players can engage in various activities such as tracking other dangerous targets to claim bounties or seeking out weapon sensei to master new skills.
Returning from the original game is the beloved "Guiding Wind" feature, alongside a new mechanic that allows players to build campfires anywhere in the open world. The emphasis on player choice and exploration in the vast land of Ezo is a core aspect of the developers' vision, with more details expected in the coming months.
