Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer

Coming on October 2, 2025

PlayStation, in collaboration with Sucker Punch Productions, has officially announced that Ghost of Yōtei, the sequel to the acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima, will hit the shelves on October 2, 2025. The announcement was accompanied by a captivating new trailer titled "The Onryō’s List," which offers a glimpse into the game's narrative and gameplay. This trailer, released on April 23, culminates with the eagerly awaited release date.

Ghost of Yōtei transports players to the heart of Ezo (present-day Hokkaido), where protagonist Atsu embarks on a vengeful quest against the notorious Yōtei Six. These outlaws, responsible for the murder of her family, include The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and the formidable Lord Saito. As a standalone sequel set 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima, the game introduces new weapons, mechanics, and a rich set of features that build on the foundation laid by its predecessor.

Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way

One of the standout features of Ghost of Yōtei is the freedom it grants players to tackle the Yōtei Six in any order they prefer, allowing for a personalized journey of retribution. Detailed insights into the game’s mechanics and Atsu’s adventure were shared on the PlayStation.blog on April 23. The game promises an evolved open-world experience, offering more freedom and variety than ever before. In addition to hunting the Yōtei Six, players can engage in various activities across the expansive landscape of Ezo, including tracking other dangerous targets, claiming bounties, and learning new skills from weapon sensei.

Returning fans will be pleased to see the inclusion of familiar elements like the "Guiding Wind," while new mechanics, such as the ability to build a campfire anywhere in the open world, add fresh layers of exploration and interaction. The developers are focused on delivering a vast and immersive experience, with more exciting details to be shared in the coming months.
