Highlights
  • Ghost of Yotei will introduce a new protagonist and tell a new original story.
  • Ghost of Yotei will be released exclusively on PlayStation 5 in 2025.

Sucker Punch has officially unveiled Ghost of Yotei as the much-awaited Ghost of Tsushima sequel. The announcement was made during PlayStation’s State of Play presentation. Ever since the original game proved to be an instant hit in 2020, players have been asking about the Ghost of Tsushima 2 release. Here is everything to know about one of the most anticipated sequels.

Ghost of Yotei Confirmed to be PlayStation 5 Exclusive

The first thing you need to know is that Ghost of Yotei is not exactly a direct sequel. It means the game will not continue the story of Ghost of Tsushima. Instead, it will introduce a new protagonist and a completely new original story.

Sucker Punch has revealed Ghost of Yotei will take place in 1603, over 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima. While the original release told the story of a samurai Jin Sakai, the new game will introduce players to a new female protagonist Atsu.

The game’s story is set in areas surrounding Mount Yotei, a mountain peak in Ezo. This is a Japanese area now known as Hokkaido. It was said to be outside of the rule of Japan in 1603. The studio has not revealed much about the story except that it will be an origin story for Atsu.

Andrew Goldfarb, Senior Communications Manager at Sucker Punch Productions said,

“When we set out to make a new Ghost game, we wanted to maintain the core pillars established in Ghost of Tsushima: playing as a wandering warrior in Feudal Japan, offering freedom to explore at your own pace, and highlighting the beauty of the world. We also wanted to continue to innovate. To create something fresh but familiar, we looked beyond Jin Sakai’s story and the island of Tsushima, and shifted our focus to the idea of the Ghost instead.”

Ghost of Yotei Release Date and Price

Ghost of Yotei will be released in 2025. It will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive. Sucker Punch has yet to reveal pricing details.
