Ghost of Yotei is the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, built for PS5

A trailer for the sequel to the critically acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima was revealed Tuesday during Sony State of Play. The new game, Ghost of Yotei, will be released for PS5 sometime in 2025.

The trailer showcases new hero Atsu, another presumed ronin who makes her way through the countryside wearing her own Ghost mask. The game is set in the areas surrounding Mount Yotei in the remote Ezo region of northern Japan (around modern-day Hokkaido) in 1603 — 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima.

Given the remote location of Japanese rule, expect less organized samurai clans and more grasslands, snowy tundra, and unexpected dangers, as studio Sucker Punch’s official playstation blog post explains.

Unlike Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei was built for PS5, giving developers Sucker Punch the opportunity to add huge sightlines, skies painted with stars and aurora borealis, and better environmental effects of wind on the grass and vegetation. The studio promised new mechanics, gameplay improvements, and more new weapons with the new setting.

Sucker Punch promised to share more about Atsu’s story and who she will meet along her bloody journey in the coming months.
