During the latest State of Play, Sucker Punch Productions shared the first ever look at Ghost of Yōtei, the follow-up game to Ghost of Tsushima. Ghost of Yōtei introduces a new protagonist, a new story, and an entirely new area of Japan to explore.
The debut trailer was followed up by a new PlayStation Blog post that expands upon the game details. In Ghost of Yōtei, you will play as "a wandering warrior in Feudal Japan" named Atsu. Atsu's story takes place in 1603, over 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima. As the title implies, the game is set in the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei, "a towering peak in the heart of Ezo, an area of Japan known as Hokkaido in present day." This locale includes "sprawling grasslands, snowy tundras, and unexpected dangers."
This is also Sucker Punch’s first game built from the ground up for PlayStation 5, and we’re excited to build on the visual foundation we established in Ghost of Tsushima by making the world feel even more real. We have massive sightlines that let you look far across the environment, whole new skies featuring twinkling stars and auroras, even more believable movement from wind on grass and vegetation, and more improvements we’ll share in the future. Our new setting also gives us the opportunity to introduce new mechanics, gameplay improvements, and even new weapons.
