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.

The game promises an evolved open-world experience, offering more freedom and variety than ever before.
