Ghost of Yotei is currently at the top of the PlayStation Store pre-order charts in the US and UK. Sucker Punch officially revealed the upcoming sequel to the 2020 open-world action title Ghost of Tsushima back in September 2024, confirming that it will have both a new name and a new central protagonist. Taking place 300 years after the events of the first game, Ghost of Yotei follows Atsu, who embarks on a mission to avenge the murder of her family by hunting the people responsible across Japan’s northern Enzo region.
Fans of the original Ghost of Tsushima got another look at Ghost of Yotei last month, along with an official release date of October 2. Much of the classic action and stealth gameplay that made Ghost of Tsushima a hit will be retained in Ghost of Yotei, with Atsu shown cutting down enemies using the same katana that pinned her to a tree as the sinister Yotei Six burned down her home. Ghost of Yotei will also take advantage of its new time period by giving Astu a matchlock rifle to shoot at foes from a distance.
Ghost of Yotei's narrative continues a trend that was ignited...
