Sony and the Sony owned Sucker Punch Productions shared that Ghost of Yotei will be released on PlayStation 5 on October 2, 2025. The news of the release date came alongside a new trailer for this "sequel" to Ghost of Tsushima.
Sucker Punch says that they have been working on Ghost of Yotei basically since Ghost of Tsushima was shipped roughly five years ago. It should be noted that Sucker Punch calls Ghost of Yotei a follow-up to Tsushima, but the "stories are unrelated."
Today's newest trailer shows us a bit of the motivations behind Atsu and why she's out for revenge. This trailer also shares a look at some of Ezo's scenery, some of Atsu's new weapons, a few allies, and a new gameplay mechanic not seen in Tsushima.
Alongside today’s news, we’ve also released our latest trailer for Ghost of Yōtei, “The Onryō’s List.” Sixteen years ago in the heart of Ezo (called Hokkaido in present day), a gang of outlaws known as the Yōtei Six took everything from Atsu. They killed her family and left her for dead, pinned to a burning ginkgo tree outside her home. But Atsu survived. She learned to fight, to kill, and to hunt, and after years away she has returned to her home with a list of six names: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito.
One by one, she’s hunting them down to avenge her family, armed with the same katana used to pin her to that burning tree all those years ago. But while Atsu’s story begins with vengeance, she’ll find there’s more to her journey than just revenge. As she explores Ezo, Atsu will meet unlikely allies and forge connections that help give her a new sense of purpose.
